Storing Tubers during summer months

15 years ago

Ok, so i work part time at a garden center. They were having a special on Spring bulbs, tubers ,etc. I bought a dahlia tuber but i feel it might be too late to plant. Do you recommend planting it or what my real question could this be stored till next year.

I definitely recommend that you plant it. It quite possibly won't have flowers, ( but it might in September/October ). However, it will need nourishment during the summer in order to reward you with flowers next year. Go for it :)
