I am thoroughly confused. At least three of the exact spots where I had dahlias last year have new growth coming up. I did not remove the tubers. Is this a dahlia?
I’m in zone 5B and we did not have a favorable winter.

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.

Yes, those are dahlias. Are they planted close to a house, heavily mulched, or buried very deeply? 6B here and they will overwinter by doing one of those things.
I am in 7b and some of mine made it, some didn’t. We also had a cold winter. This year I am going to put a great big pile of leaves on top of the beds.
that is for absolute sure a Dahlia! very exciting
