Rusty's Dahlias

[Kassaundra]

Awesome dahlias, I wish they didn't have to be picked up every fall.

Can any overwinter in the ground zone 6?

Zone 6? I don't think so.....maybe with heavy mulch in zones 7 and above....... Digging them up isn't so bad when you have just a few......I dug up about 2,200 clumps last Fall...all are stored in my other basement where it stays about 40-42 degrees all Winter. Here is another variety called "Sky Angel"...I've posted this Dahlia before..

Just another photo to excite the future Dahlia growers.....This is "Vassio Meggos"...a lavender sport off the popular "Spartacus" Dahlia.
