If you had it from a stem cutting, why not ask the person who gave it to
you what they do.

I would if I saw them with any degree of regularity of had contact with
them. I thought that given the numbers you grow you might be classed as an
expert. Thanks anyway.

My reason for saying ask the people you got them from is the difference
in our weather.
We get around 80 inches of rain a year and don't get the heat you do, we
range from around -3c to a high of no more than 30c this summer I doubt
we reached over 25 c.
It's hard to advise anyone when you have a different climate they don't
know the variety of Dahlia (different varieties have different
requirements).
I offered advice to you if it's not good enough for you well I can do
nothing about that.
You could try posting your query on .
