Dahlia Cuttings

Hi,


Is it too late take soft cuttings from dahlias in the year, because my dahlias are late sprouting this year and at the moment there are some soft shoots that I could use? But if I did, then would I need to overwinter them indoors in a cool place?

 

Hi,

Do not see why not, many plants have been late this year.
Think they should root very quickly and a bit like rooting the sideshoots of tomato plants, expect they will readily make decent sized plants and flower this year with decent enough tubers by the time the frosts arrive; - probably August going by the weather so far !

 

Thanks @ricky101 that's what I was thinking, so a job to do tomorrow
