Favorite Dahlia Varieties to Grow For Cut Flowers! A Tour of Our Dahlia Garden

- Today we’re in the dahlia patch.
Dahlias are the quintessential fall flower. And honestly, I have a deep appreciation for dahlias because long after the summer garden starts to slow down and the heat loving annuals start to fade- the dahlias rev up just in time to sort of finish out the season for us.
Right now it’s early October here in West Michigan. While we haven’t had a kill frost just yet- we have had some pretty cool weather this week and so the dahlias have slowed down a little bit with their blooms
So before the season is fully over, I do want to share a few of my favorite varieties with you in case you’re looking to add some to your own collection.

Thanks so much for another great video. Love to see all that you do, especially since you do not lots of acreage like many flower farmers do. Keep up the good work, both in videos and on your farm.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I truly appreciate it!
Always so informative, thorough and focused! Be blessed as you have blessed all of us with your experience and knowledge!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words!
Thank you for sharing your dahlia variety experience! I've added a few to my 2023 wishlist🌸
Awesome! I hope you’re able to snag all the varieties you’re after! 💛
Well done! My first year growing dahlias. I picked the pom-pom variety. It has been such a pleasant surprise - easy to grow with tons of blooms. Going to view the dahlia cuttings video next. Thank you!
Glad you’re enjoying the dahlias!💛💛
Thank you for sharing your favorites. I love hearing about varieties that make the cut for flower farmers. Also thanks for sharing the idea of growing maybe fewer varieties but more of them. While not a flower farmer, I'm building up my stock and until now have had 1 of a bunch of varieties, but I see the merit in growing multiple of a fewer varieties and I might have to alter my plans for next year! Now for some success in overwintering!
Love all your videos!! I would love one more in-depth oN laying irrigation and drip tape.
Noted! Thanks so much for tuning in :)
I bought a lot of tubers of different varieties, and thanks to your video on dividing, was able to get more plants. My surprise favourite is Evanah.
That is awesome! I’ll have to look up the dahlia you mentioned- always looking for a few good ones to add to my list 💛
Great information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful
Thank you! 💛
Great teacher 😊
Awe thank you!
Very good informative video as always. I have American Dawn and plan to order more. Your dahlias are beautiful!
Awe thank you! So cool to hear that American Dawn is one of your favorites too!
Thank you. Beautiful. Growing dahlias for only 2 years. You are right, I am hooked on them. Thank you. Great info. What makes sad here in Idaho, planted early in greenhouse but Oct still no blooms,buds but not blooming. Terri
Glad to know I’m not the only dahlia-obsessed fan out there 😆😉 That’s unfortunate about your greenhouse dahlias … hopefully you’ll get a longer season with them and they’ll surprise you by blooming yet this year 🤞
Great video
Thanks!
Good video
Thank You!
I enjoyed your video a lot, thanks so much for sharing! I grew a bunch of dahlias in my front garden this year and enjoyed having them in 5he garden and cutting them as cut flowers. Can't wait to see your next video on lifting and storing daliahs. What do you do to prevent from fungi infection such as power mildew?
Thanks so much for watching! We honestly don’t do much to prevent powdery mildew on our dahlias. The dahlias always seem less affected by the powdery mildew compared to other crops like our zinnias. This year I did spray a spray called ‘Cease’ and ‘Mil-Stop’ every few weeks and I feel like those produces helped us a lot 💛
Wonderful garden. When planting dahlia flower trees in the garden, how many meters or feet should be kept from tree to tree and row to row? Please reply madam🇮🇳
Gyönyörű csodás színek különböző formák szebbnél szebbek valóságos dalia gyönyörű paradicsoma nagyon szeretem nekemis vannak tisztelettel köszönöm ❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤
I greatly appreciate all you are sharing about your farming practices. Thank you. For myself, sincerely intending to *not* come across as critical in any way. When you say small patch of dahlias, would you please, give a little more detail, a definition of "small patch"? # of rows, width & length, plants per row, spacing. Your thinking in choosing the width and length, plant spacing. What is the production of that small patch, how many stems are you able to harvest from that size patch? I am aware younger plants yield fewer stems. Include, percentage, or number of younger plants, to older higher yielding plants, past & last season's yield, what you expect for the next season's yield. I hope learning about other's practices will help me think about and wisely plan my own patch.
I have about 10 dahlias, (some in pots,a couple in the ground) if they survive my Virginia zone 7a winter. I plan/hope to purchase more spring 2023. I am not yet flower farming, praying I get to begin fall 2023. I have never sold a stem of anything, basically still a gardener. I'd like as much information as you are comfortable sharing to establish a bed for my dahlias, one to increase rapidly. I think this kind of information will help me plan where, and how much space. Again, gratitude for sharing your experience.
West Michigan? I live in SW Michigan 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃
Very cool! Yep, we're located in the Byron Center area- just 20 minutes southwest of Grand Rapids :)
I wrote some of them down, maybe I can find them. 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃
Awesome! Most of them are pretty popular and can easily be found online. Best of luck!
It doesn't look like you disbud side buds???
Nice! Your videos should be seen by more viewers. May I repost your channel without changing anything on the clean platform named Ganjing World? Thank you!
