Depends on where you are. In my zone 6b garden I never have to dig my dahlias and they come up like clockwork every year, but if you are in zone 5 or north, I would say dig them., store them like sptfyr says. They are a tuberous rooted plant, a perennial where it is warm enough.

Well, Dahlia bulbs need to be dug up and stored during the winter. I don't think it is too late so you can dig it up, shake off the soil and then you can place it in a paper bag with some wood shavings, shredded paper, vermiculite or dry sand and store it until last freeze of Spring has passed.
Good Luck

A frozen Dahlia plant is a dead Dahlia plant. Frost is the big killer of Dahlias, and in areas subject to ground freezing it is wise to dig up Dahlia tubers BEFORE first frost, and store in peat in COOL frost-free area.
