In winter, the northern region can wait for the leaves to wither, dig up the bulbs, preserve them indoors, and plant them again next spring. In the south, where there is no obvious frost, you can spend the winter in the fields directly. Potted dahlias can be stored in places above 0 ℃.

Dahlias like the environment with plenty of light, and they should have sufficient sunshine during the growing period, preferably more than 6 hours a day, so that they can grow well and the flowers are large and plump.
