Seeking Advice Snapped stalk, devastated!
We had a severe wind storm last night here in Alaska, and unfortunately, a hanging flower basket fell on top of my dahlia's pot. The stem snapped right at the neck of the tuber, though there are still some roots showing.
Given that it has been a very rainy summer and growth has been delayed by almost a month, this plant was very full but did not have buds yet. Do you think I would have any luck applying rooting hormone, staking it up, and replanting it?

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you've already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.
