Thanks. They both work so hard on it from March through December.
I don't but some I left in the ground a few years ago (because I didn't like them) did come back. Even if I could leave them they still need dividing or they can't absorb enough nutrients to do well and many will die if left more than a year or two.
This is a 16 minute video of their property and how they grow dahlias. Amazing dedication!
