Storing

Tender tubers such as dahlia, kept frost-free

This guide’s details are being double-checked, so for now it carries only the safety notes.

Digging and forking out clumps can cause cuts and blisters, so wear gloves and stout footwear and keep your tetanus cover up to date. Dahlia, begonia and gladiolus material can upset pets if chewed, so keep stored tubers out of their reach.
