Once
the first frost has blackened the foliage of dahlias it’s time to carefully
lift the tubers for
overwintering in
a cool but frost-free place. Remove any loose soil and hang them upside down
for a few days to drain any water in the stems. Then remove all dried soil,
label and store them in just damp compost. The tubers of cannas and
large-flowered begonias will also need lifting. Canna tubers are also stored in
just damp compost, but begonias should be stored dry in nets.
