Hi everyone,

I'm on my third 3rd year of growing dahlias, but still feel like I don't know anything about them! I redid my bed this year, so they are all new. Most of them are looking good, but one in particular is drooping. I noticed today that the bottom leaves are turning yellow, however; the new growth on top seems hardy. We haven't had rain in forever (shocking for Seattle), so I think I've been overwatering.

I've decided to leave them alone for a while and not water. I'm wondering though, should I did up this plant and check out the tuber? I thought I read something like that on another thread.

Do you think it can be saved?

Thanks for your help,
Jana
