Digging, Dividing, & Storing Dahlias with Confidence
Learn how to Properly dig up, divide, and store your dahlias for healthy, thriving blooms year after year — all at your own pace.
Winter storage isn’t always perfect — even the most experienced growers lose a few tubers now and then. But with the right techniques, you can protect the majority of your dahlias, reduce losses, and head into spring with confidence (and plenty of healthy tubers ready to grow again).
Whether you’re a new gardener or a seasoned grower, this self-paced mini course walks you step-by-step through the entire process — from the moment frost hits to the day you tuck your tubers away for winter.
Inside you’ll learn how to:
- Know when and how to dig your dahlias
- Divide tubers with confidence (without damaging the eyes!)
- Choose the best storage methods for your space and climate
- Keep your tubers healthy through winter so they’re ready to sprout in spring
No fluff. No overwhelm. Just clear, practical guidance from a flower farmer who’s done it all — and made the mistakes so you don’t have to.

Ready to finally store your dahlias with confidence?
Learn the exact steps to keep your tubers healthy all winter long — and step into next season ready to bloom.
If you’ve ever searched “how to store dahlias,” you know the internet is full of conflicting advice. Peat moss? Vermiculite? Pine shavings? Wrap in plastic? Leave them in the ground? It’s no wonder so many gardeners feel overwhelmed — and lose tubers trying to guess what’s right.
Inside this course, I cut through the confusion. You’ll not only see the proven process I use on my farm (after digging, dividing, and storing thousands of dahlias every year), but I’ll also walk you through the most common storage methods you’ll find online — with clear guidance on when, why, and how to use each.
By the end of this course, you’ll know:
- 🌱 When to dig (timing is everything).
- 🌱 How to divide with confidence — spotting viable eyes without damaging the tuber.
- 🌱 Which storage method fits you best based on your zone, space, and budget.
- 🌱 Mistakes to avoid that cause rot, shriveling, or mold.
This isn’t just theory. It’s a practical, side-by-side look at the options — so you can stop guessing, choose the method that works for you, and save more dahlias through winter.
