Hi Suzy,

Some comments on your purchase from Christy
Jomanda I would not consider tall in my part of the country its about 4.5 feet
Mary's Jomanda is a sport of Jomanda and grows the same except for its color.
GW's Babe is outstanding show and garden dahlia.
Hannah Baker is my origination (named for my granddaughter) picture attached. This grows about 5 feet and sometimes lower. A show dahlia that won Best Lc in show for me at the 2006 National show.
Valley Porcupine ---A true garden/show dahlia. I grow it in my front yard about 3.5 feet and I support it with an upside down tomato cage which can't be seen after the middle of July. ( I will attach a picture of my winning entry at 2006 National shop. This is a very easy dahlia to grow and very prolific with blooms all season long.
It's much too early to plant out in your area. I would keep them in a dark cool location ---store in a paper bag with a little moist potting soil.
