Growing Requirements of Dahlia Plants. Dahlias are summer blooming tubers that are generally only hardy in USDA zones 7-11. In the majority of the country, Dahlias must be planted each spring. and then cut back and dug each fall after the first killing frost. Dahlia plants grow and bloom best in full sun.
There are 42 species of dahlia, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. Flower forms are variable, with one head per stem; these can be as small as 5 cm (2 in) diameter or up to 30 cm (1 ft) (dinner plate). This great variety results from dahlias being octoploidsâthat is, they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two.
