Dahlias are not hardy, and in climates that get below 35 degrees, it'll need to be dug up in fall and stored in dry peatmoss in a frost-free location. Although, we have seen success with over-wintering in zone 6 when the tubers are planted lower in the ground than normal. Dahlia single flowering 'HS First Love'
