Chillin' In The Garden
I had potted up a dahlia root pretty late in the season, in July. I found the root looking pretty sad in my garage, so I thought I'd give it a chance in a container. It did very well, bloomed nicely. I deadheaded the spent flowers and the side shoots and flowers appeared and I took the pot into the house to enjoy it and to give it some more life. We've had our killing frost here in New Hampshire. They're not hardy in my zone by any means.
It's a lovely plant, nice foliage and flowers. So I'm now treating it like a house plant.
Should I overwinter it in the house and bring it out in the spring? will it last that long? will it continue to flower and grow?
Or, should I put it outside and put an end to it's current life cycle?
