Oberon46 said:so you do wash the dirt off. How vigorously? I use the jet stream on my hose nozzle to get the dirt out from between the tubers wrapped tightly around each other. Makes the tubers pretty wet. I let them dry for at least two days because of that. Maybe I am too assiduous in my washing??


I wash and divide so I end up with single tubers, then I wash again.

there is no dirt left.

If you store entire clumps and divide in the Spring, it is more difficult to dry.
