dahlias are sprouting

Mentor, OH

I asked this question on another forum but haven't received an answer yet so here's my problem. I have several dahlia tubers that have sprouted. Weather conditions haven't allowed me to plant them yet and some have sprouts that are several inches long.What I would like to know is when I do plant them do I leave some of the sprout out of the ground or completely cover it with soil? The forecast for next week looks favorable for planting. Thanks in advance. Dan

I answered you. Either way will work. Just protect the sprouts from slugs for the first few weeks, or all season for that matter.
