This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

I dug about 10 dahlias, just brushed the soil off put them in vermiculite and Pete Moss. In my basement crawlspace. Five days later, they were all dried out. It was too warm. I left most in the ground this year. The couple I left in the ground by mistake came back stronger than ever. Fingers crossed. Northeast PA zone 7/A.
Good luck to you ! They’re such an expense and so hard to over winter in my opinion
