Hello,

Young Dahlia entousiast here. I stored last year batch for winter, they were healthy but now they look like this… all shrinked.

Are they dead ? Anything to do ? What should have I done better ?

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.

    You could let them soak in water for an hour and hope. But they look very very very dead

    Mummified. You asked what to do differently, but please tell us how you stored them last year.

    They’re toast! But look at it this way, you get to buy more!
