Dahlias

I don't recall much discussion about Dahlias on PBS.  Or maybe I just
ignored the discussions because I wasn't growing them at the time.  But I'm
in the mood to try them again. They were one of my first garden plants, and
I miss having them.

Are there any cold hardy varieties on the market?  (I'm in Zone 6).  Or is
it still necessary to lift them in winter?  It was the lifting that turned
me off Dahlias all those years ago.  But maybe if I have a small quantity
then I can manage the lifting.

I see tons of varieties for sale at the big box stores.  But I do prefer to
buy from specialty nurseries whenever possible.

I'm interested to hear what you folks grow.....
