Kim,
I will agree more or less with Carol. I have grown the border(unwin mix I believe) dahlias and do recommend them to be grown from seed as annuals - they are more productive than zinnias or marigolds in similar settings. I do have some previous years seeds around yet I think.
I have not heard of any of the larger "standard" types producing true seeds, but I have not tried any myself either.
I don't think that I would be interested in trading border seeds( I still have a packet), but if you wanted me to save some seeds from named varieties of dahlias I could do that .
