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’m also in 7b with pretty much the same weather outlook, and mine have been in their outside containers/beds for over a month without any losses.

From what I’ve read, the average soil temp is important here. Nice weather is good and all, but if the soil temp is less than 60 and your nights are still chilly, it’s best to wait.
I’m 6b/7a and mine are half in the ground half not. But I have 2 kids so it’s more of a time issue
But I’m not a pro. So… 🤷♀️ take me with a grain of salt.
