Wilted Dahlias

10 years ago

My husband covered our dahlias with a black garbage bag yesterday to protect them from the bleach he used to power wash our deck. They had not bloomed yet, but all had buds ready to open. He left them covered several hours in 80degree temps, and once uncovered at about 6pm last night the tops were completed wilted. Can I save them?

Water them well, and keep them out of the sun (if possible). The leaves might fall off, but the tubers will regrow the plants back.

Are these short bedding dahlias, or are you way down south?
