Tell me, annual dahlias, also called cheerful guys, can they be sown in winter or is it better in spring? They are very elegant and color autumn so much!

It is better to sow in the spring, since their seeds are weak and planting is carried out to a depth of 2 cm. At such a depth and severe frosts, they will not survive the winter. Besides, this is the first time I’ve heard of cheerful guys sowing for the winter. Such plants are always planted exclusively in spring.
I've just never planted flowers like this. But now I look - they are blooming very elegantly. I also wanted such beauty under the windows. That's why I asked)))))))
My mother used to grow a whole bed of flowers every year, including “Jolly Fellows” dahlias. They actually look very lively. And they were planted in the spring. As far as I remember, they are the same year.
That's right, they are the same year. I love them madly myself. Beautiful, colorful and unpretentious. They make me happy from mid-summer until frost.
Yes, these are annuals. But! In the fall, you can carefully dig up small nodules of the most elegant colors, which can be preserved quite well until spring. And plant them with nodules.
I tried to sow the seeds in the fall, but only a few germinated. Know only those that were the strongest. But when I sowed in the spring, almost all of them sprouted.
I plant Merry Guys only in the spring, and in principle, it is better to plant the seeds of all such flowers in the spring. Firstly, they sprout better this way, and secondly, when planting, I immediately form a flowerbed and this way it becomes more clear where which flower will grow.
In the spring, we plant annuals right away “in place.” We have three flower beds and plenty of room to “spread out”. We mostly plant annuals in a large flower bed. Where there is a rose garden, it is not convenient to dig around, and in front of the house one usually “can’t reach it.”
In the middle zone they will not survive the winter if planted in the fall. Although the nodules are a sight to behold, I just want to leave them in the ground. I experimented. In spring there is porridge in the ground. So the flowers are annual.
