Can you plant dahlias that have already sprouted in storage? 🥔🌱 Yes! Many of our tubers are already growing sprouts by the time we get them planted out in our fields. If your dahlia has sprouted in storage, there are two options: 1. You can leave the sprouts on, but plant the tuber deeper to give the sprout more support from the earth around it. (This is similar to the method of planting tomatoes deeply. The stems of dahlias, like the stems of tomatoes, will also grow more roots when underground! This anchors and feeds your dahlias even more.) 2. You could also snap off the sprout and plant the tuber without it. Don’t be alarmed if two eyes (or more!) appear where a sprout is broken off, as this is common when sprouts are removed. (Sometimes new growers are afraid the the multiple eyes/sprouts that follow a broken sprout are a sign of leafy gall, but they are usually just the sign of a healthy, vigorous tuber that wants to grow!) #triplewrenfarms #sharebeauty #growingdahlias #dahlias #dahlia
