I think of Dahlia's as the princess of the Northern garden. They require a little bit of extra care compared to the other perennials. Dahlia tubers need to be dug up each fall, rinsed, and stored in the basement in some peat moss for the winter.

I'm a lazy gardener. I won't grow anything I have to dig up every year. -OR
