I live in zone 7 in Or and have raised dahlias for years, but it never hurts to ask what they like, especially since I have them with weedcloth around them, how much water do they need ? I hear they are from mexico originally so they must like the heat and little water ? Our Or coast grows them huge so ???

When you plant the bulb they love Bone Meal but so do skunks.
They love to be fed and I use Miracle Gro or the equivalent.
Very hardy and can withstand the hot sun....Lots of water once they get foliage.
I also give them a Bloom Booster.
