Technically, they're tubers (like sweet potatoes). They do need to be lifted every year in cool zones. My dad grew Dahlias when I was a little girl and he overwintered his tubers in peat and burlap, stored in a cool, dry basement. Mothers' Day weekend was usually planting time, and the season ended with the first frost. Dahlias come in a huge range of colors, and sizes too... from tiny lapel-sized types to huge massive blooms the size of dinner plates. They can look like Zinnias, or resemble exotic cactus blossoms. They're amazing! Enjoy! Yep, it’s a Dahlia. Technically, they’re tubers (like sweet potatoes). They do need to be lifted every year in cool zones.

Might survive a very mild winter. It ‘s a dahlia, bulb, needs to be lifted each year. Might survive a very mild winter.
