Gardeners in Zone 8 can overwinter dahlias in the ground with an added layer of mulch, but digging and storing them is a safer bet.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When is it time to dig up dahlias from the garden?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After the first frost of the season has occurred and the temperatures have begun to drop significantly, it is important to prepare your dahlia tubers for dormancy. The first frost typically signals the end of the growing season for dahlias, causing their foliage to turn black and wilt. This is a natural indicator that the plants are transitioning into a dormant state, and it is crucial to allow them adequate time to adjust to these changes. <a href=\"https:\/\/garden.org\/apps\/frost-dates\/\">Find your projected first frost dates here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Video: <\/strong>Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/article\/how-to-dig-divide-and-store-dahlia-tubers\">How to Dig, Divide, and Store Dahlia Tubers<\/a><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>5 Steps to Store Dahlias Correctly for Winter<\/h2>\n<hr\/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_209183\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-209183\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153211\/IMG_8081.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-209183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cut back the stems and foliage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">1. <\/span>Cut them back to within 6 inches of the ground,<\/strong> and gently lift the dahlia tubers out with a spade\u2014inserted carefully into the soil at a distance from the stems so as not to sever the tubers.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> To prepare your dahlias for the end of the growing season, begin by cutting the plants back to a height of approximately 6 inches above the ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153227\/IMG_8101.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-209188 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153227\/IMG_8101.jpg\" alt=\"dig out dahlia tubers to store dahlias\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153227\/IMG_8101.jpg 800w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153227\/IMG_8101-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153227\/IMG_8101-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153235\/IMG_8114.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-209190 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153235\/IMG_8114.jpg\" alt=\"list out the dahlia tubers using the remaining stems to grab\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153235\/IMG_8114.jpg 800w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153235\/IMG_8114-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22153235\/IMG_8114-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">2. <\/span>Clean the soil off the tubers<\/strong>, and allow them to dry for a day.
