I can't believe all the variety! Beautiful!
A full Dahlia tour, oh my!! Quicky becoming my favorite flower and their differences are incredible! Thanks for the beautiful tour!
So inspiring!! I completed my dahlia order WHILE watching your tour! “Oooo...yup! Gotta have that one too!!!” Thank you for sharing your joy & knowledge!!
GORGEOUS & bountiful!💗
ah yes from the high desert of CA. It is so good to see someone is having a Dahlia year...Wow is all I can say.....thank you
Man, you are really making me want to grow some dahlias.
Just gorgeous, can’t wait ,Lol 💖
Erin you ARE the Dahlia 👑 I never saw such beautiful Dahlias noone can grow them like you!
Oh. My. Gosh. Those blooms are HUGE. A friend got me addicted to dahlias two years ago. Yours are incredible 😀👍🏼
So glad your back! I love watching your videos they inspire me so much. I have a new found love for dahlias and can’t wait to plant next season. I’m shopping for pale white, salmon, pastel purple and yellow. Can’t wait🌸
Oh my!! Third time watching now in HD. 🤗🤗 fantastic!!
I live for your Dalia Tours they are stunning 💕💕💕💕💕 the HS Date gets me everytime!
Spectacular garden. Thanks for pointing out the issues for teaching purposes. But all are still gorgeous. I learned a lot!!!
Now I’ll watch your digging up so i can hopefully save them this year.
Thank you for sharing your dahlia joy, brought me some joy too. 😀
Yay 😀 back in action. Look at the size of those dahlias. I’ve never had much luck with them but you’ve inspired me to give them another try...
Beautiful. Thank you for the tour.
Stunning dahlias! Your garden is beautiful.
Thanks for the dahlia tour, Erin! Great to see you again! I had a terrible time with spider mites this year too. I don’t remember having them so badly before. I haven’t had the heart to pull my plants either. Treating with some spinosad and hoping to get the plants past blooming stage. Love your passion for dahlias!
Beautiful! I have learned so much about dahlia's from you...thank you!
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Never considered to attempt growing dahlias but, oh boy, I’m searching my garden for a spot now... 💚
Your videos have inspired me to order dahlias for the spring! Thank you!
Inspired...thanks Erin...loved the video❤️
Thank you so much for sharing information about dahlias. Mine would bud up this year but would not bloom. I was thinking I was doing something wrong. I hung in there and they are finally starting to open. It was nice to hear that I wasn't the only one dealing with this and spider mite issues. Loved seeing all the different types you grew this year!
Ah, the HD version!
I LIKE it!!
Example: the imposter Cafè Olè reds showed up MUCH better!
But you knew that already!!
Loved watching it! 👏
Here's my HD heart 💗
Thanks for watching it again! :)
Great video. This is my first year growing Dahlias. They are doing well. Thanks for listing those 3 resources, I was able to sign up on all to get Dahlia info. 🤞🏻♥️
Loved this. I plan to add dahlias to my cutting area this year! Retirement is going to allow me more time, which is the only reason I have waited. Thanks for this educational video!
Wow! Pink bouquet at the end was STUNNING!! This was so much fun and I feel much more enthusiastic about the HS series of dahlias now. Your garden is so lovely! ✨🌹🌼🌷🌸💐✨
Gorgeous bouquet!!!
loved the garden tour - thanks for sharing your beautiful Dahlias with us - learned heaps....also had a slow year in London, ON Canada with my garden..
Love the dahlias at 12:12. Love the ball dahlias also.
I’m in love with ball dahlias now. 😂
Loved them all! Never grew them but might give it a try next year!
Loved ALL OF THEM💝🇨🇦
So beautiful flowers
Oh my goodness that bouquet you made was incredible! Inspired to try next year..but I live in a hot climate but I will try a few that are supposed to be better for hotter zones. Thanks for all the information!
Beautiful!
Never apologize for your ball dahlia addiction! And you can definitely show us more.
I am mesmerized 😍
The Dahlias you chose exactly match my preferred color palette, it's actually how I envisioned my garden when I bought Dahlia tubers for the first year this spring (though not quite so numerous, I have a much smaller yard).
Instead, I got a spindly looking, powdery mildew infested mess, I had a few casualties, and I have yet to see the blooms from the Penhill varieties (bummer) and another dinnerplate, which I might have placed in too much shade (a spruce in the area cast a much larger shadow this year than ever before, last year that was a full sun location!). I will hold this video as my Dahlia goal for next year (yes, I will be trying again!) but who knows, I am in Italy and our summers are scorching hot and dry, so maybe that's never in the cards for me, but I will keep trying!
Thank you for sharing, your varieties are just stunning 😍
Love your video!! I would love to learn more about growing these. 💞 God Bless! Beautiful flowers. 💞
Enjoyed seeing your dahlias, and your excitement about growing them. It really helped when I placed an order, after all it is an investment and I did not want to be disappointed with what I ordered. Thanks for your love of them!
Holy Moly! Criton Honey has my attention! 🧡💛💗🧡💛💗
You are the most beautiful flower in your garden I love your channel keep up the good work
Amazing, all of them! This is my first year growing from tubers, thanks to you. I’m taking notes for next year already. Which need taller stakes, which need more room and which I want to buy. One thing I’ve noticed is some of mine have incredibly short stems. Like , I talking 2-3 inch stems. I had one plant that I bought last year that over wintered in the ground fine and bloomed great early on. A really short variety but I don’t know what it was. But it got horrible spider mights. I tried treating several times and then recently cut it all the way back. They were on my cosmos and I just yanked those out. God, I hate them. I’m going to look into thrips because I have one with odd looking foliage. Thanks for the tour!
So beautiful thanks for sharing
If it doesn't hurt your tubers, I would just leave them alone. It is cooling off quickly here and acting like Fall is just around the corner and All the Dahlias will be going to bed for the winter. Beautiful Dahlias 💖 Thank you for introducing me to these beautiful flowers, I have added a few to my Garden.
MKR Creations
Lovely!!
Very pretty flowers and colours, like 315, thank you
I just love your videos! :)
Your dahlias are gorgeous. Love your Instagram posts.
I'm not quite sure what it is, but I could listen to you talk all day. 😂
Erin! Thanks for this and I'm SUPER jealous. I have 575 tubers in the ground and only a handful of flowers. What an atrocious year for us. And YES- heat and drought. Such a disappointing dahlia year. Glad to see yours! Fingers crossed for next year. 💐
Flower Hill Farm Oh man that must be soul crushing! All that work and all those tubers. I’m so sorry. I’m certain next year will be better. It has to be, right?
My dear, l feel so much better, after watching your video. Yes, you are so right, this just wasn't very good year for dahlias. I live in SoCal, but same story. Not a lot of flowers, half of my dahlias just coming to bloom now, lost a lot of them to spider mites 😢. There was nothing l didn't try,...no use. Just like you l couldn't throw them away . What I did is, I cut off the damage plants almost to the ground - and now more than half of them gave me a new young plans, looking very healthy. I am not hoping to get from them flowers this year of course, but will be very happy if I could save them. Thank you for sharing with us. Good luck with your beautiful garden and everything else
It’s my first year growing dahlias and all 3 of my cafe au laits are purple! So.... there ya go! Still worth it!
You crack mne up geeking out over flower forms.😄 can one have too many ball Dahlias ever? I'm not far from Swan Island Dahlias here in Oregon and it's so amazing all the different flower forms and colors these plants come in. I love the ball type as well. Had a delughtful one years ago that was a yellow tipped with raspberry red "Little Bees Wings" the Old House Gardens sells still. I see They have Cafe' aulait too...no kidding yours is not the color you expected. I've not been much on big flowers but Break out is gorgeous. I grew some of the HS series a couple years ago. Really enjoy the foliage color and how it plays off the flower colors. Enjoyed the tour.
Gorgeous!! You got me hooked on dahlias! My Cafe Au Laits where a different color as well.
Lovely display, very nice garden, thank you from New Zealand (spring I’d here at last). 🌺
Enjoy that beautiful NZ spring (better as you get closer to summer, as I recall).
Bless you
I also lean to the apricot and pink. Just means you have great taste!
Greetings from the UK 🌹🌹🌹 Every year I look forward to your dahlia videos. You have a lovely garden, Erin 💕 I bought Belle of Barmera last November. It has bloomed yesterday ( not fully though ) Its magenta throughout and doesn't look anything like the pictures on Sarah Raven's website... such a let down 😢 Bought Labyrinth and Penhill Dark Monarch after watching your videos and am quite happy with my purchase. The multicoloured tone makes it so awesome 😍😍 Planning on buying Firepot or Great Silence or American Dawn this November. Let's see...
I’m actually super excited one of my 10 dahlias actually came back rbis year haha 😆 win, I do r know why this happened but at least I have that one ♥️
Your collection is superb ✅‼️
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful dahlias and garden! My Cafe au Lait from Longfield’s is the same color as yours, and definitely not Cafe au Lait!! I got several mislabeled dahlias from them, that messed up the color echoes that I had planned for.
The HD version is definitively clear, compared to the first version you posted. Thanks, Erin, for reposting this! I love all of your gorgeous dahlias. This year was a challenge for us here in the midwest. We've been, and are still in, a severe drought. To make matters worse, we've had above-normal temperatures for well over a month. Since we hadn't seen a video from you, I was concerned about your families' health. It's good to see your smiling face! ~Margie
Green Thumbelina All good here! Thanks for your concern. Just got very busy for a couple weeks there.
You got a 'shout out' from Nicole @Flower Hill Farm September Q & A @37:09 :) OMG Lovin this dahlia tour.
Beautiful great cideo
Oh! So much better quality video! The first video I was thinking you might need a new camera. I guess not.
Good video amazing flower! My dahlia flower getting smaller.
You are too funny..but beautiful flowers...loved your dahlia tour.❤🙏
Definitely a weird year for dahlias, I grew more plants of fewer varieties so I could store less since that’s where I really went wrong last year!
I thinks your flower arranging skills are blossoming 🤣
Much better!
So beautiful! I’ve only tried a couple of dahlias in the past, but your video is inspiring me to get a bunch next year!
Erin, I love your Dahlias!! I’m inspired to grow some this year, thank you! I really love the Crichton Honey one but for some reason when I found it online, the picture of it looks kind of different to yours, like more open or not so round. Yours look like Pom Pom style right? Makes me wonder if yours was miss labeled 🤔 It’s mostly sold out but I bought one I found on fb marketplace🤞🤞
Red, curly dahlia is called - 'Red Labyrinth' ;)
I am not watering my dahlias consistently so that could explain them looking a bit sad, I LOVE that breakout...I tried a couple of dahlias this year for the first time, my cafe au lait turned out not to be what it was :( SO, I'm gonna try again with her next year.
Your dahlias are stunning! I have 3 cafe au lait plants that I bought and planted this 1st year and they are incredible. I live in the pacific northwest. Do you think I should dig them up or just cover them in the ground with a good layer of compost? They produced so many flowers this year !
Your passion for dahlias is obvious, Erin, and rightly so! They are just beautiful; perhaps THE most beautiful flowers I've ever seen, and such variety, too! Unfortunately I'll have to live vicariously through you because I don't have the time it would take to grow them (zone 4) and I just couldn't treat them as annuals for what they cost. I was curious about them so I did a little research and learned a lot from the Farmers Almanac website. It said you could even eat the flowers and tubers, and that the tubers taste somewhere between a potato and a radish! Although, why not eat potatoes and radishes and keep those beautiful blooms where they belong, in a vase on your table, amIright?! Lol! =D
Awesome video as always and nice to see you again!
Sweet Stuff Yes! Apparently they were originally thought of as a food crop. I’m with you: That’s what a potato is for.
Would you please mind sharing what is that blue or purple flower in the pot behind the Jowey Mirella dahila? What a gorgeous contrast in the backdrop to this dahlia! You have made me fall absolutely in love with dahlias!!!
Loved your video as always. Totally agree on the perfect beauty of the ball shape. Do you ever pinch back your dahlias when they start growing? I have heard that if you pinch them early there will be more flowers.
Sally Woods Yes I pinch them once when they have about four sets of leaves.
My Cafe au Lait dahlias look like that, too! I got them from Longfield Gardens. They are in my front garden and do not match anything.
❤
These are absolutely GORGEOUS! Thank you...I love them so, and my thumbs, fingers and toes are black. It's also wet here in the Pacific NW. Maybe if I hang around something will rub off on me. ;-)
screeningmimi I planted a couple of Dahlias this year for the first time and they have been doing very well and I live in BC (Pacific NW - Canadian style 😀) so you should give it a try next year.
@@sharonperry8978 Thanks for the encouragement! BC is beautiful...And yes, it is very similar weather. I probably need to improve the soil and give it another go.
I don't believe there is ever TOO MANY dahlias!!! Loved every minute.
Lovely collection.. where do you usually get dahlia tubers from? I need them in my life
I have bought from Longfield Gardens and Swan Island Dahlias
Crichton honey please …. I’m in love 🥰
Are the tubers still good for next year with the spider mites?
Purchased my first Dahlias this year after watching your channel. One variety was from a Big box store, my husband pulled one as a weed 🤦🏼♀️ and the other one has zero buds. The other two varieties I ordered online and they are FINALLY blooming however they look nothing like what I ordered 🤷🏼♀️. So I would love recommendations on where to order and when to order. Btw my husband is forbidden to pull weeds now.
Эрин, добрый день! Я случайно вышел на Ваш канал. Я тоже выращиваю георгины. Мне они очень нравятся. Особенно крупноцветковые, как у Вас. Я из России.
Love your programme. Next time you are talking about dahlias can you please explain how to get stronger flowering stems,
You probably have already but I may have missed it. Thanks.
John Anthony Capper The only thing I do in that regard is pinch them down to two leaves when they have about four leaves or thereabouts.
@@TheImpatientGardener Thank you, I will give that a try next year. It is the Cactus variety that I have had problems with here in the UK.
Erin, that Limelight Hydrangea to the left at 11:43 looks stunning. How old is it and how do you keep it so healthy? Mine is full of blooms; but, they need to be staked to keep them off the ground.
Maria Folch it’s quite mature, at least 13 years old. Mine just seems to love this full sun spot. I do have a video on how I prune it. I fertilize usually just in spring with Espoma Rose-Tone.
Spider mites: I have used a soapy water spray with some success with my house plants. Ya gotta drench both sides of the leaves and repeat once a week...
Hope you can help me. I need to separate my dahlias. Zone 8 a NC so can I do it in October/November?
Could you please put the link to Florida Weave? I didn’t see it?
I'm feeling a bit better about having to leave my dahlias behind when I moved two weeks ago, knowing this was a poop year for Dahlias means I didn't miss much. I kept stressing that I was going to miss the best of them because they just didn't take off while I was there. Of course this is a seriously dangerous video for me to watch, having already ordered more dahlias than I have room for, it looks like I need to add Breakout, and Crighton Honey, and HS Date, Peachy-Salmon Dinnerplate, Bacardi, Maya....UPDATE: I just had to come back and finish watching because my husband came downstairs and saw I was watching this video and this scene played out: HIM: Oh is that Erin? What's she doingwaitisthatagardentour??? NOPE NO NO MA'AM TURN IT OFF!!!! Me: What? What are you freaking out about? HIM: Every time she does a garden tour you buy things! You cannot watch her videos with tours anymore! Just the information ones. ME: Uhhhh, okaaaaaay (pffft, tours ARE information. Information on what fabulous new plant/tool/item I need to buy). Obvs. my husband was just joking around with me, he would never forbid me to do anything, but he did distract me with appliance shopping for the kitchen remodel so I did have to come back and finish watching.
Erin, do you think the color variance has to do with fertilizer? In the watermelon dalia?
Juli Polito Color variance usually has more to do with light and temperature. Unlike some hydrangeas, color is not affected by soil acidity. Some varieties are more prone to color variation than others.
Do you deal with earwigs in your dahlias and if so, how do you combat them?
Sluggo plus!
Erin I am so peeved!!! Not at you girl!😅 I am probably the one that told any questions on Dahlias to ask the Dahlia Society & then to hear that they told you to pull up your Dahlias just about did me in!!!😲😡😩 I have never heard of anyone belonging to the Dahlia Society that I have ever known yanking out multiple plants to avoid an outbreak!🙄
I have been dealing w/ some health issues w/ my Mom so just now have only had a chance to sit down & watch this (almost 11pm on the West Coast) so I am going to call some people I know that are still w/ the local chapter we were w/ (Lane County Dahlia Society - Eugene, Oregon [the one my grandparents founded! I know, that was a little braggy!!😁]) and ask what it is that they use. My grandparents & Dad have all passed & my Mom's memory is not what it used to be so she couldn't remember what it was they used when we would get spidermites (& I've just been out of it for too many years😬😒). I do know that I have used Rose RX on some other plants (not Dahlias, not even roses) this year w/ spidermite issues & it seemed to knock it out so you might try that until I get back to you.
But as to pull up your Dahlias, please don't as 1) spidermites though might make your plant look gross & cause all the leaves to fall off, will not kill a plant. So yes you should treat the plants & take preventive care to neighboring plants (including all plants/annuals planted in that area) to prevent it from spreading, but you don't need to kill a plant or remove it in doings so. Especially being that spidermites do not affect tubers, which brings me to point 2) Your Dahlia tubers will not have had enough time to develop to maturity under ground yet. So that, combined w/ the fact that the weather is still to warm will most certainly guarantee you will not have any tuber from this Dahlia. Lack of undeveloped tubers that will most assuredly rot bacause they do not have the proper temps to be stored in.
Ramibu 2 No worries , friend. The dahlia society has always been my first stop for dahlia-specific info for specific issues. They have lots of other recommendations as well but recommended that the easiest way to deal with the problem organically (which is all I’m interested in) this late in the season is to pull the plants to stop them from infecting other plants. And I’m OK with losing these tubers if need be as I have oodles of other Labyrinths.
For anyone who is interested, here is a link to the article from the American Dahlia Society on managing spider mites: www.dahlia.org/docsinfo/articles/coping-with-spider-mites/
@@TheImpatientGardener ok!😁 Haven't had a chance to call today yet anyway (as well, I'm sure these old time gardeners ways were not organic!😅). The Rose RX is a Fungicide/Miticide/Insecticide & Organic (that's why I was using it!). I do know that one of the other methods we also used was to powder a plant & the ground w/ Sulfar (which I believe you can also find in spray form) to suffocate them (especially on the soil so they didn't keep moving up plants). I'm sure DE would probably do the trick too - & both of those are Organic.
Btw....one reason we always had Sulfar on hand - a trick my Dad used (which I'm sure he got from his parents) was after his tubers had been cut & cured, would dip them in the bag of sulfar. A light coating of Sulfar would help protect the tubers over Winter from getting moldy of any kind or fungus (which would rot them). However, I know you don't cut your tubers before storing for Winter, so this might not be beneficial to you?!🤷♀️
Ramibu 2 Thank you! I’ve read about the sulfur but never used it.
Hello 💜 How many inches from the wall do you plant the tubers??
Hmmm ... it's pretty close. Probably closer than I should be but you can see I really shoehorn them in there. 8 inches maybe?
@@TheImpatientGardener Thanks! I have a narrow space 2ft by 25ft and I’m trying to fit as many dahlias as possible. I live in Iowa zone 5b and I’ve been watching your content for a while 😃 Keep up the great work!! I’m fired up for spring 🌸
