Hello Denise
In my situation in zone 7 the dalhias must be dug up and stored. It looks like your location demands this too. Please refer to this extension publication for the guideline on care and storage -to enjoy the blossoms again next year!
Hope this helps-Happy gardening!

Here in the UK it's traditional to dig up Dahlia tubers to store over winter then plant them out again in spring.
