Fantastic video. Thank you. What feed do you use through the growing season and how much/when?

What did you use to combat the slugs and snails?

I just watched this one and enjoyed it, thank you. Do you by chance have a video garden tour? I saw some really nice things in the background that I would love to take a closer look at. :)

Penstemon seeds are notoriously hard because in nature a portion of the seeds are genetically predisposed not to germinate the first year they drop to the ground. There’s such a thing as too old penstemon seeds, but they’re rare in that it’s possible some do not germinate because the seed’s too young rather than too old.

Lovely video

May i know we're you bought your amazing amaryllis Thank you

Great video!

Thank you so much, your video is most informative.

Love the names really helpful.Just found you a few days ago, loving your info and garden. I have also purchased seeds from Alla, cc ant wait to try them, I look forward to seeing yours. Hello from Melbourne Australia

Really helpful. Thank you! Apart from putting in the cold frame is there any ongoing care required during the colder months, ie watering or feeding or are they ok until planted out in Spring?

21C in the morning now. It is almost cold for us but it will reach 30C and 34C at the weekend .

The names are very helpful, thankyou

💖🌸🌸 Have you ever grown Petra's Wedding ?

just curious, why do you store your tubers upside down? love your channel, thanks.

You have such a beautiful collection! Thanks for sharing the names and comparisons between them.♥♥♥

I love this video! Thank you so much. I would really enjoy being growing them, but my zone is way too hot! High Fidelity for the win😊

Thank you for the in depth description of how to plant correctly. Could you please let us know the size of pots in each segment. The tulips and these dwarf plants but I am never sure of the size of the pots.

I love your informational videos! I am dividing my oriental poppies as they have become so full they flop over. I followed your instructions carefully, but have a few question. I potted up the cuttings (September 22nd) and put them on the north side of the greenhouse (the greenhouse still gets very hot in the afternoon in Western Colorado), how moist do they need to be, or how often to water them? They are not covered, would it be better to cover them to keep in moisture? Also, how long before I will see some green leaves or stems? Thank you for your information.

Wonderful video! Thank you so much for doing such an in depth review. It is super helpful and informative!❤

Hi Annette Loved the Dahlia tour, my fav I think is Copper boy. Thank you so much for all your hard work doing these videos. Glad to see you’re back on top form after being poorly. 🌺💕

Nice video content

Do bunnies like munching them? I just received lunaria annua seeds ..Sept in the US , I should sow in spring, ..after frost like late April? 🤞🤞

Gorj! I’m a fan of Caitlin’s joy, copper boy, and breakout but there’s loads you have that we can’t get over here in NZ! I also really like your two mislabels! Especially the ball

Very beautiful line-up for compare/contrast. I tried Cornel Bronze and Linda's Baby or the first time and love both. Surprisingly, they actually get along with an orange Jowey ball in bouquets, given the right fillers. Cafe au Lait is also new, and so far produced only a single bloom, hope she will manage a few more before the rainy season starts.

Such a beautiful display of dahlias.

Thankyou I will have a look

Your garden is like a painting! The colours and abundance are glorious. Mine's looking very much worse for wear now and has highlighted to me the fact that my new plantings are mostly for spring and early summer and I've given no thought to later summer and autumn. Live and learn. The Dahlias are all beautiful. They are so incredible to look at. I love them all. What do you do with them at the end of the season? Do you dig them all up? If so, where do you put them?

And here is a very nice,sad song about September. Θυμήσου το Σεπτέμβρη, Κώστας Καρράς the singer. Thymisou to Septembvri, Kostas Karras. Remember it was September that I told you I love you. It really reminds me of the men I loved and makes me fry but it nurishes my soul.

such lovely dahlias where do you get your tubers from

Loved this video, Annette.

❤❤❤❤ Thank you so very much

Thank you. So interesting and helpful.

Like you, my dahlias in pots did miserably this year. The dahlias in the ground took ages to take off but most are doing well now.

Babylon bronze maybe not producing well, because of a bad tuber? I had babylon last year, it was producing flower after flower, I couldn't keep up with it. I did give liquid feed. So, I think variety is ok, just maybe a bad tuber? Mine later died in winter, and some tubers I noticed, only just survived, but were like invalids performance wise from spring onwards, and were struggling to grow and progress, producing very little flowers. So, nowadays I think maybe bad tuber, or not enough sunlight. Some dahlias are ok with part shade, and keep producing and producing, and some are simply not at all happy with any shade and struggle.

Great you are organic, mee too! I use coarse gravel and spread it liberally around dahlia when I plant them into the ground. Apparently slugs don't like " walking" over rough surfaces. So, it is more of a deterant. But,snails still attack. And slugs too. I noticed that if I regularly mow the lawn, slugs are less present, as they don't like sunlight and exposure to heat and dry soil. Also, slugs like some dahlias more than others! Labyrinth has proven not to be their favourite. And when they go into a full blown commando munching attack, and dahlia is struggling to grow, I take a spade, and gently lift the whole dahlia root, and place it into a very large pot. I completely saved my Molly Raven and Creme de Cognac this way, and not only did MRaven prosper in the pot, but, I never had such a big, abundant, happy, leaves-untouched dahlia in my life! I regularly give liquid feed to my dahlias. Anyway, I hope my experience helps your followers.

I do like your videos, I’m in the Pacific Northwest USA and have similar climate so enjoy seeing what’s going on in your garden. Dahlia growers here have said same thing, dahlias weeks later than usual. Our spring was cool. Thanks for the labels and comparisons.

Lovely video, thank you!! But i don‘t think your paso doble dancer is the right one. It has a different shape. ❤

Oh Annette your dahlias are so so beautiful! This is a great gift you had for us. Thank you❤

Like others have said our dahlias have been skow this year. Weve still got about 6 that are just forming buds. Weve also had almost no slug damage this year. Weve used nematodes for 3 years now. Year 1 we bought direct and they worked. Year two we bought through zonama (flip it), and weve never had so many slugs. This year went direct again and that combined with slug pellets has been amazing. But weve had leaves munched in the middle and last week i caught the culprits. Silver Y moth caterpillars. Its a day flying moth and they are flying round the dahlias all day along with honey bees and bumbles which were also late to the garden this year. Now theyre here in numbers. I was waiting for this video and have a lovelly list for next year. Copper boy I already had. It starts off round and then elongates and the petals become bycolour gold and copper. Just looks like gold dipped copper foil. Such an architectural flower. We got an octopus sparkle this year too and its stunning. Also who dunnit. The petals are the same colour as sliced raddish. And we have one called Avignon which is just opening this morning. Little Robert, verrones obsidion, icoon, golden crown, poodle skirt, fire pot and a few more cheap buys from B&M. Love dahlias so much because they are like garden orchids and just love the format of this channel its helped so much.

Thank you for this informative tour of your lovely dahlias.

Lovely!!

Do you put manure in your dahlias? Hillcrest kismet is a dream. I would put a sunbed next yo them and spend the night there.

Copperboy is fabulous, its colour reminds me of my Cranberry Laura Ashley dupion silk curtains I have in my room. I lit the Woodstove today, not for heat , I am still in shorts, but to cook. I use olive wood, the best, and our local high quality olive oil and my lemons to cook beef balls with potatoes. You can't find such good olive oil even if you buy the best in the supermarket.

Lovely collection and dispay! Do you need to dig em up or can you keep them in the soil over winter?

Incredibly helpful for those of us deliberating between the many tempting varieties out there!

😲 wow - so beautiful Annette Well done you .

Lovely assortment of dahlias. The ball shaped ones are exquisite and sophisticated. Copperboy is an absolute stunner! High Fidelity is an exciting 2nd place! Wow!

By the way, my favorite one was Alloway Cottage from today's video. I wanted to let you know that I've grown Lucca Johanna this year and she is a magnificent decorative dahlia as well !

I love these comparison videos ! I want them all . Thanks or your efforts 💐
