Hi--here I am, still a newbie to overwintering dahlia tubers. Today I dug up several clumps to divide, and I'm not sure which of the tubers to save for next spring. Some of the tubers are plump and easy, but others have very long "necks" and I'm not sure how to figure out if they have eyes or not, nor whether such long thin tubers are worth saving at all.
Do I just try to make sure that there is a section that has an eye or two, regardless of how long the necks are? Or should I ignore them?
These are all first-year clumps.
Thanks in advance.
