Dear Jim, You probably got your tubers from Berkeley Bowl, which was where I got my yellow form. Their tubers came from New Zealand as indicated by signs on all their non-locally produced goods. I could not keep the yellow form from growing out of season and as a result they grew throughout the winter without a lot of sunlight. I hope that they will stick around for the summer and produce lots of good tubers. Since your summer is most likely going to be way to hot for the plants, it is best that you grow them on the NZ cycle, which is winter in KS. I think your plan of splitting them up and treat them various ways would be the safest bet for success. Keep some in pots dried for the summer and keep the pots out of the heat. Unpot others and store them as you would Dahlia tubers and others in the fridge without much moisture. I find that moisture will cause the tubers to sprout, even in the fridge if they are ready to do so. Hopefully by the end of the summer, you will still have some good tubers for next year.
