yeah, I answered because I love dahlias too and have grown them on the mainland, but have never seen them growing here, so I wondered if it was the over-wintering that was an issue. And so far no one has spoken up that has the actual experience. I'd like to know too. Did they originate in the drier part of Mexico or did they do well in the jungle? I just wonder if rot would be a problem here.
I saw the most gorgeous dahlia garden in a botanical garden started by a Scotsman on Lago di Maggiore. And Golden Gate Park has an absolutely incredible display that is tended to by the Dahlia Society there. I just loved to go see them. Those are both temperate climates though.
