Mine are overwintered indoors as the greenhouse gets too cold. Same with the dahlia tubers. Cherry if you keeping indoors do you take cutting from your dahlia tubors ? Perfect for that. I want to do cuttings for next year. With your garage get mushroom trays or any tray even seed trays line with newspaper and also bed with straw. I like vermiculite for bulbs and tubors as its sterile. Bag them individually in paper bags and fill with vermiculite then cover with straw or even wood shavings you don't want to many sprouts on begonias to quick as so easily broken. Even put the tray in a big box can be plastic with some air holes just for circulation. Also watch for rodents can eat all you tubors and bulbs in a night.

Got asters just started flowering grew from seed put it troughs where I ripped out the sweet peas I had ravaged by mildew I had others in main border you can't even see as big dahlias devoured them as I overplanted. Must give much more room and plan properly next year as such a lovely flower. I want princess Kate ! Where did you buy her ? Not seen it here locally. I found her at a large GC in N. Devon, quite by chance, but you can buy 'Princess Kate' from Thorncroft Clematis, Taylor's or Crocus, on-line.
