Yes you can , they are actually tubers / Clean off the soil and dry them out / Store them in a dry place and plant out again in spring.

i learned this method from a friend who had over 500 dahlias every year. dig up the dahlias leaving some stem on them. then turn them upside down to let all water drain out. next pack them in bushel baskets filled with sawdust and store wher they wil not freeze. Moisten them once every week with a cup or two of water per bushel. In the spring when you take them out they will have already grown shoots. Cut down through the stem allowing each shoot to have one (or most of one) tuber attached to it and plant them when all danger of frost is gone. This is a great way of propagating them and will give you enough to either expand your garden or give some away.

These are tubers.
Keep dry and put in a pot to star them off in the spring, then plant them out after all risk of frost has gone.

Did you get them potted and blooming? Or did you purchase merely bulbs and plant them? if you obtain them in a pot, you may attempt planting them interior the floor and want for the suited. forced bulbs do no longer continually get better. in case you purchased bulbs, merely plant them and bypass away them. in case you wnat to circulate them to a clean region, dig them up after their leaves have began to yellow, that way the bulb might have stored up all of it's skill for next time.

Yes, you should hang them up in a dry airy place like a shed and plant after the frosts have finished.

Keep them somewhere dry and frost-free and don't plant out till around the beginning of May - a late frost will kill them.
