I have some problem with slugs, but I've never seen them go after anything like the dahlias. does anybody know if these are a slug magnet? I repotted for now, and they struggle daily for survival.

Loves a moist but well drained, fertile soil in full sun to light shade.
Not hardy in frost prone regions and will need lifting and storing after the first frosts have blackened the foliage. Cut off the foliage and store upside down to allow the tubers to drain. Store right side up in a dry, dark, cool but frost free place in sawdust or dryish peat. A few weeks before the last frost date bring into a light area indoors and plant out after the last frost. Some people find a dusting of sulphur powder or other fungicidal treatment beneficial during storage.
