Re: Why don't we grow dahlias?

Yes, of course they are out of fashion, I never see dahlias in any french garden, except for dahlia imperialis here in the south. sometimes it is not hardy here. For instance, in my mother's garden, 15 kms from my house her dahlia imperialis cannot set any flower because the cold arrives a little bit earlier while mine is very well protected in a city garden where the weather is milder.
I try to grow dahlia 'Bishop of llandaff' for its foliage, but of course it's not at its best and is suffering from the summer heat.
