If you love your dahlias but live in an area with cold winters, here's how to take care of them so you can enjoy their blooms again next season.

1. In the fall, after the first frost has blackened the foliage, cut off all but 2-4" of top growth, and carefully dig tubers without damaging them. 2. Allow tubers to dry for a few days in a frost-free location, out of direct sunlight. 3. Once dry, remove any excess soil. Trim stems to 1-2". 4. Store each clump of tubers in a ventilated box or basket. 5. Fill the box with slightly moistened sand, coir, or vermiculite and place it in a cool, dry location with temperatures that remain between 45 and 55 degrees F. (An unheated basement works well for this.) 6. Check tubers periodically through winter for rotting and drying out. 7. When warm weather arrives, you can plant the overwintered tubers and begin the cycle again.
