dividing question

21 years ago

Hi Dahlia friends,

So, I know to dig up my dahlia tubers after first frost, but can someone tell me, when do I divide? This Fall, next Spring...not for a few years? And for pete's sake, can someone tell me what "eyes" really look like? I keep envisioning reptile-like eyeballs...(not overly pleasant!)

Thanks!

Many folks separate and divide in the fall before storing for the winter. Last spring, I did mine in early April because I was too busy in the fall. It can be done either time, but fall is probably the best time.

As for the eyes, I believe bernie gave you a link above. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask.
