Dahlia Tubers - HOW TO POT UP

Its time to pot up your Dahlia tubers to give them a good start before planting out after your last frost date. In this video I talk about how we pot up ours, how we mix our medium and how we plant tubers in individual pots..

Part of our video series on Dahlia care:

First class. It's my job this Friday.
Looking forward to the follow-up to see how much growth they put on.

Thank you very much for all your informative videos.
This is my first year growing dahlias in pots and have heard that the lubers need to be buried 4-6 inches(10-15cm) deep under in order to grow strong shoots.
But, I noticed that you leave a part of the tubers sticking out of the soil.
Do you find that there is no big of a difference in planting so?

Perfect video for me today! I am going to follow your lead and started getting some of my tubers potted up. I love your sticker system.
Question for you....Last growing season being my first with growing dahlias I planted them in full all day sun. There is a spot in my field that is full sun all day but the setting sun shades the spot out before the rest of the field. Do Dahlias benefit from some very late afternoon shade? Or should I go ahead and plant them out full sun all day again?
Thank you in advance I appreciate your advice :)
