Here I am, DahliaNut!!! Hi QQ! I brought down some of my prettiful red dahlias from New Hampshire to try down here. I put 2 large tubers in the ground in my brug garden and a couple tubers in a trellis planter to see how they do. One has broken ground in the brug bed and one in the trellis planter. It got down to 43 last night here and I didn't cover them because I was clueless that it was going to get that cold. They are in a protected corner, and they looked ok this morning. I'll keep you posted, and I can use any helpful info you care to share. Here's a shot of my reds in their NH setting.
