I think I broke these off while moving a couple of plants. Will single tubers like this grow? They’re in good shape, not soft. And are they the right way up for planting?
Thanks!

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.

I don’t see any eyes, so probably not
Maybe the middle one. The other two are a lost cause.
They look like blind tubers, they won’t grow. The tuber itself is just energy storage, they need a piece of the crown and an eye to grow. They will just rot in the ground but if you want to plant them, just stick them down 6” horizontally. If there’s any hidden eyes they will find their way up.
1. Not a chance. 2. MAYBE. 3. Hell no.
Middle one might
They need three things to be viable. A piece of the crown, an unbroken knock and the tuber.
Possibly the middle one will grow.
No
