Hi! I started these indoors last month and am in 7b so was hoping to get them planted outside next week. Most have just been chilling with the eye swelling a little but some have started sprouting leaves… the problem with that is I didn’t plant them 5-6 inches in their indoor pots, very surface level actually, so I’m not sure how to plant them outdoors. Do I need to wait for the stalk to get up to 5-6 inches so the tuber can be at that depth and leaves not covered?

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.
