Dahlia bulbs are, in general, not hardy. Some dahlias in a sheltered position might survive the winter but they will need a good covering of mulch to have a chance. It’s best to lift dahlias as they are tubers and not a bulb. Bizarrely, don’t lift them until after the first frosts as they go on growing right up until the temperature goes below zero.
About us
The gardening journey in our family began with my grandfather, R.F. Tuttle, who, after World War II, returned to his roots in the world of gardening. In 1947, he took a position as a gardener on a local estate, continuing his passion for cultivating and caring for plants. This connection to nature and the land was passed down to me, as I embarked on my own gardening path. At just 17 years old, I started my first job with the local Council during the summer holidays in the late 1970s. It’s been a journey of growth, change, and rediscovery, but through it all, our love for gardening has remained the constant thread that ties our story together
