Zones: In zones 4a-7b(9bWC), dahlias are widely grown as annuals, but the tubers can also be dug and stored over winter.
Heat-Tolerant: In zones 8(10WestCoast) and warmer, dahlias often struggle because nights are too warm. Varieties we recommend through zone 8b(10bWC) are marked “heat-ok” below. Learn more at our Dahlias for Hot Nights page.
