I've tried to grow Dahlias several time. Either they don't grow or they just die or don't come back the next year. I live in zone 8b. Should I be digging them up in the fall? My yard where they are planted is very sunny until 5:00 in the evening. Should they be getting more shade? I have them planted on the south side of my deck that gets sun mostly all day. I've order Dahlias from several places on eBay and I've also purchased some from Walmart. Am I getting them from the wrong source. Please help as I love Dahlias but they just don't like me. I want to try again this year but I want to yet opinions first.
