Thank you for your question. You may want to lift the small tubers from the pots as well and store them in paper bags with some peat moss. This will allow you to replant them in fresh potting soil next spring. If you choose to leave them in the pots, store them dry until February when you can rewet them. I have had hybrid Dahlias last for years by doing both.
I hope this helps. As always, feel free to visit any of our Sloat locations for more expert advice.
