I know, I know - I LOOKED on the Dahlia forum, but I need some 'local' advice.
I am about to plant a couple of new Dahlia crowns I got today. I have not grown them here in California, though everyone in my family grow them in Washington State. Here are my questions - and thanks in advance for your input:
1.) Can I leave them in the ground year 'round?
2.) Do they remain somewhat evergreen here? If so, should they be cut back at any time?
3.) Can they truly withstand full sun in a Sunset Zone 21 (Zone 9b), sheltered, suburban garden, or should I place them in light shade?
4.) Is now a wise time to plant the crowns / tubers?
:)
