“All flowers match.” Yessssssss! I love watching you garden, your accent takes me back to my time in the Midwest and makes me want to call old friends.
Thank you for this video, I awoke with a migraine in the middle of the night and took my usual migraine medicine but this morning felt like I had a hang over. This was just the right medicine to help me get into the day.
Erin you just made my morning! Last year was my first attempt at growing a dahlia. This year it was blooming like crazy...well until yesterday and our property was flooded by the remnants of this hurricane. Losing stuff is one thing, insurance will replace all of that. Losing my gorgeous flowers and vegetables is heart wrenching. The hours of being in my flower beds can never be made up.😢🥺 So here I sit at my sister’s house with my morning coffee and I see your smiling face and beautiful bouquet and I had to smile. What you do matters sweet lady, it really does. I’m just gonna live vicariously through you and your garden for a while. Thank you sooooo much for your channel!💐
I’m so sorry about your garden. 😢
I'm with you, all flowers go together. Look at a flower meadow, all colors and it is just breath taking.
I am of the opinion that you are correct. All Dahlias go together. Your bouquet looks beautiful! TFS 😃🤩
The "Japanese beetle swimming pool" 🤣
That was beautiful Erin I love that you put all the flowers in. The colors really did blend.
Thank you for this. I enjoyed seeing the ones "in real life" that I want to order. I really like your attitude and personality. Good job!
🐾🌺🌻🌹🌾🌷💐🌸🐾 I hope your house is filled with Dahlia bouquets! Thanks for sharing!💞🐾🌸
All flowers match! Thank you, Erin!! 🌺 🌸 💐 So refreshing!
Beautiful! Very peaceful just going along and watching you cut them. I bet you have bouquets all around which is wonderful. Thanks!
Thanks for the tour, can`t get enough of the HS series 😁
Me too! I will try them next year.
Beautiful! Next year I will dip my toes in with the HS series. For some reason I'm drawn to them.
🌼Hi Erin and all garden friends. I live in an apartment now and have a small patio space which I fill with big containers and anything Erin and Laura (Garden Answer) tell me to plant! I put two small yellow dahlias in with two small hosta plants in my small container and I just love them! Maybe some day I’ll buy a home just to have a dahlia garden like Erin! Thank you so much for all your inspiration 🌸💚🌞🐝🦋
Thanks for the video, Erin! My wife and I just came across Swan Island Dahlias and will be ordering some from them for next year. Can't believe I've never grown these amazing flowers. I bring bouquets to the office for all the ladies and they enjoy having them. Again, thanks for the encouragement to grow them!
The ladies will love the dahlias! I worked in a library where a patron kept each of our desks blooming with them.
I live near Swan Island Dahlias. It’s amazing to walk through their dahlia gardens.
@@denisedorsey2889 I have never been to SID but that's a beautiful part of the country. Take a tour for me and my wife!
Two sources for dahlias whose tubers are accurate to color, size, type--everything as described in their catalogs are Swan Island Dahlias and Dan's Dahlias. I have ordered from both for a long time with no disappointments. Plus, their selections are mouth watering and prices are fair. Another good source is Brent and Becky's Bulbs. I bought from them for the first time this year and their tubers are delivering nicely. Do forget buying from box stores and the like. Satisfy dma dahlia obsession through experienced growers. You won't be sorry. (And no, I am not a shill.)
Beautiful Erin !!!! Love your dahlias !!!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your lovely garden with us!
Dahlia garden goals! 💗
Your dahlias are gorgeous! I am learning so much from you. Plus, you are the only gardener I've seen talk about Japanese beetles and dahlias. This year they devoured my Cafe au Lait dahlias but left my other dahlia varieties alone. Why is that? Thank you and I look forward to your future videos.
They absolutely target some varieties over others. I haven't figured out yet if they prefer a particular color or if they target plants that are a bit more stressed than others like many insects do.
Love, love, love the dahlias and beautiful bouquet! Total newbie here in Virginia. Zone 6B. After I stopped picking the Japanese beetles off my roses daily, Ugh!, then I planted my first dahlia tubers in late July. Trying the same type of dahlias in a morning sun flower bed and some in an afternoon sun bed as an experiment. So far, they're only 3" high, but I'm hopeful for blooms in a few weeks. Clay soil here, so I'm trying to figure out watering in high heat(90s-100s last week) and now cooler weather(70s-80s this week 8/17). Thank you for sharing your garden and for your wonderful videos!!
What over seen so far is gorgeous! I had rain almost everyday for 2 weeks & about 50% of them rotted 😥. But at least this was my 1st year with Dahlias, h most of them were from Floret seeds & therefore less of an investment.
So pretty. I love your garden.
I like your statement…All Flowers Match…🌸🌹🌺🌼💐
You are amazing. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for being a valuable resource for us.
Hi Erin. My dahlias had a tough time this year. It's nice to see yours doing great. I'm from the northeast (MA) and our weather in July was horrible for gardening.
Glorious!
Tried growing dahlias, too. Very humid this summer and also had spider mites on half and a TON of Japanese beetles. There’s no way I could keep up with hand picking them off. I was so looking forward to the blooms and was so very discouraged at the results. I’m not sure I have the heart to try again!
So pretty!
Yes!!! I've been waiting for this!
Yay! I grew my very first dahlias this year and they are amazing!
Great video, loved all your selections, I’m going to order some of those this year👍
BEAUTIFUL Erin! Sadly, groundhogs and rainiest July took out most of my dahlias. I'm also anticipating rot in the soil so I'll have to purchase new ones. (what a terrible problem to have.... ;) lol) So, I'll plan for next year!
“All flowers go together.” Love it! The garden is looking fantastic. ❤️
This was so good Erin! I’m having a wee bit, of dahlia envy!😉 Where do you buy most of your tubers?
Beautiful 😍
Those are such pretty varieties. I might need to add to my list. Mine this year have been unusually small blooms. They stayed in the ground and they all come back but I can’t remember if I pinched or not. I grew pom pom dahlias for the first time and they’re rather small too. Plus I had a bunch that were marked wrong which was a bummer. I got no dark foliage or white blooms. Both I really wanted. Oh well.
beautiful!
It’s beautiful Erin ,thanks for sharing 😊
My advice, if u want pretty blooms put fruit bags over the blooms
Another great video! Thanks Erin.
Wonderful
They are all growing so nicely Erin! I actually like the short stems bc I put them low in a container along with some smaller free flowing flowers above like cosmos,zinnias etc Thanks for all your Dahlia help this year😁🌸🌿
I can’t write and watch you at the same time 😜
Would you please add their names down here so I can actually order some this year. You do have the prettiest!!
Oh Erin, What have you done??? Now I'm searching websites for different dahlias...I'm in so much trouble - just ordered 9 new dahlias!
Ooooo you always grow amazing Dahlia! I have a new wish list to add to my Dahlia collection all inspired by your ball collection!
Do you fertilize With anything different than the rest of the plants in your garden? I just discovered Jacks brand & it’s blossom booster is game changer, just wondering what else I’m late to the garden party for!😆 Hi from South Jersey 👋🇺🇸
Great video. Informative as always.
I know you don’t love it, but Wizard of Oz is definitely on my list for next year. 😍 I’m still impatiently waiting for my dahlias to bloom, but we’re close. (Btw, “join his friends in the swimming pool” made me snort.)
I think ball dahlias are my favorite.
ooooh and ahhhhh
I’m not into staking up plants, so which Dahlias do not have to be staked up? I might try them if there are some. Thank you for all you share!!
I planted a dahlia in my greenhouse after watching your early videos. Planted in a pot…I assume they need full sun? So fair I have no blooms. Any tricks or varieties that are okay with part sun?
Those are beautiful! What’s the best source? Thanks!
Such a beautiful array of dahlias. I've only grown 4 different varieties in pots in my back patio and I had 2 plants attacked by spider mites. :( I'm now spraying all of them weekly with captain jacks dead bug brew. Not sure how else to prevent them. Do you spray your dahlias?
Generally no, but this year I've had to spot treat a few for both spider mites and powdery mildew. It's been kind of a crazy year.
@@TheImpatientGardener Sadly the spider mites seem to attack a lot of plants in my garden. I wish you much success with your beautiful garden and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos in the future. 😁 I subscribed and turned on my alerts 🤗
This was my first year to plant dahlias. I got 3 tubers fRom menards. They r pink dinnerplates.
I got my first flower and i was so excited. I was like a little kid on Christmas. I want to try balls nxt year. They seem slow to get going. I fertilize and water consistently. I have cows behind my bed and i was determined that they would not reach over the fence and eat my blooms. I have 2 more blooms coming but thought
i would have more blooms .
Do you have to stake the ball kind?
Oooh, how might a make a Japanese beetle swimming pool…I have noted it takes a truly hardy squish to get ‘em to stop moving…
Thanks Erin…your heart made my night. TH-cam is like imaginary friends for grownups…and then we get a heart and know you’re really there. BTW my purple bell vine is just starting to thrive 😬…don’t know if I’ll get a flower before frost. Keep 🤞 in zone 6a…
Aren't the bee's tired because they are tired of looking for nectar but they can't obtain it from them? I had one open flower on my dahlia and the bee's loved it but spent ages looking for nectar on flowers next to it.
What are you fertilizing your dahlias? I would like to use a liquid organic... any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
The only fertilizer I use is liquid seaweed feed every three weeks max.
Gorgeous varieties!
Well Erin and Laura from Garden Answer have been my inspiration to grow dahlias- zone 5a SE WI! Last year was my first year and I did it in a very minimal way but is was enough to start the “obsession”! Instead of Walmart dahlias (which I bought last year) I ordered from Longfield Gardens for this year but was disappointed when my Thomas Edison was actually a completely different dahlia but I did get one correct tuber and it is gorgeous! This year the bug damage is considerably more so the Japanese beetles and the aphids are rampant! Dahlias are really the most gorgeous flower you can grow- thank you Erin and Laura for expanding my flower garden!💜💗💞
I ordered from Longfield for last year, and was very disappointed in accuracy and performance. My Costco dahlias did a lot better.
@@jkniederberger5390 Be glad my Costco Dahlias were a total bust. Totally not accurate in size and color. Really disappointed in that.
Erin is amazing. Learned soooo much from her, and VERY down to earth!
@@rachelletaylor4215 I'm starting to think dahlias are a crapshoot, unless you're Erin!
Yes! The best 2 channels I watch! I've learned SOOOOO MUCH
May I just say, what a satisfying sound is the snap of snips!!
Agree
I have always been intimidated by growing dahlias, but I gave them a go this year after finding six tubers for a buck this spring. I thought they were too dried out to grow but they did and now I'm hooked! They are so satisfying. The pay off matches the effort. Totally in love with dahlias!
I’m growing dahlias for the first time this year. I ordered in February After I watched one of your videos. I’m pretty obsessed, I won’t tell anyone how much I’ve already spent on tubers for next year 🙈
I'm growing dahlias for the first time and the cutting for bouquets has been puzzling. Glad to see how I can make a beautiful arrangements with shorter stems. Also glad to hear they're going to continue to bloom still for weeks to come! (Maryland zone 7)
Iam in zone 7 too and am glad to hear you’re growing dahlias … I’ve never grown them but would like to next year. They sure are beautiful… do I start with seed or plants and if seed is there a company you can recommend? Thanks and any hints for our zone. Thanks again!
@@anitahamrick1219
I bought mine from Brecks and and all of them grew even though when they came the tubers were less than ideal. But I once heard "plants wanna grow" and these did. I'm not as fussy about whether or not I got exactly the variety that I thought I was getting I just wanted flowers to cut and bring into the house. The only thing in zone 7 is you have to wait almost until the beginning of August for flowers to start blooming. That's why I was so glad that Erin said they might bloom until October. Good luck!!
@@hd1ab1 thank you so much and I will go to that web site. God bless !!
I’ve become crazy about dahlias too, but it’s been so incredibly hot and dry in my corner of California that my dahlias have not bloomed at all, despite a lot of watering and pampering. I’m hoping that when it cools down in the Fall, we’ll get a bloom or two. Your garden is gorgeous and you are awesome! Thanks for sharing your bounty with us!
Hey thanks Erin! I really enjoyed this one! I started following you bc Laura mentioned you in a video. Glad I did! 🌸🪴🌳
You're so right, "all flowers match". 💐
I love this. ❤
Consider an annual panicum (Fontäne) from seed. The gluffy seed heads mix well with heavy looking dahlia bouqets. As well as some foliage from shrubs maybe.
Thank you for inspiring me to make a bouquet myself, I don't have dahlias to cut, but I do have a nice variety of Zinnias. Wish I could share a picture.
I almost think I need to stop watching, I went a bit crazy buying Dahlias last winter after seeing your dinner plates along the house 💕 looks like there’s a few more in my future after seeing this. Heaven help me when you show the dinner plates next. Just wondering how long they’ll last in the vase.?
Amazing.. 🌷🌷
Thank you Erin for being down to earth garden inspiration for a North Dakota gardener!
Japanese beetle ! I hope we don't get that round here....lovely dahlia info
I really enjoy you and your garden. I have a couple of dahlias grown from seed that I'm waiting to see bloom!🌸 Thanks for the inspiration and information! 🏵 I noticed a little trouble with focus on this video, and I'm wondering if is my old TV...?
it's fun to watch videos by professional dahlia breeders who exhibit their blooms in flower shows. They're quite brutal with their standards and what they expect. For example, they hate "clockfacing" on dahlias - where the flower is held vertically on the plant - like a clock on the wall. it's a very serious business and fascinating to learn about !
Sorry Erin I’m not a dahlia fan. But…….that foxtail fern in the background is a knock out. Could you possibly do a video on the care and maintenance of that plant?
They are so beautifull, this is my frist dahlia year. Hopefully next year will be better. This year the summer looks more like autumn here in the netherlands. Lots of rain and cold. And a crazy slug year, thousands of them in the yard.
TIP FOR EVERYONE! In the 1920s/30's Tiffin Glass Company made a line of vases called "Dahlia vases". They are also known as "arranger vases" and "open work" vases. The "arranger" version you can plainly see they are designed with fingers in them to hold up fragile stems. They are quite beautiful and come in various sizes. I did not want to post a link but you KNOW what resell channel to hunt for them :)
Thanks so much for this timely video. I am growing Dahlias for the first time. I went right out after watching this video and dead headed a lot of "squishy" flower remains I had thought were buds. I had to be aware of the bees!
Just adding my thank you for the many tips to growing dahlias. First time this year and loving them!
I love them all! I too have followed you and Laura . First time Dahlia grower Some bought from Eden Brothers Small World, Natalie G and Cafe Au Lait and Dahila Mix Also bought from home depot and those are doing great Kelvin's Floodlight. Hawaii ( Japanese beatles really like this one) and Noordwijks glory all so beautiful! I've flicked the beatles into the water and used organza bags just to save them Love filling the house and giving them away......Just placed a huge order for spring. I'm so glad I found you. It been such a blessing to learn so much from you all!
my first year with dahlias and i didn't stake them so they have grown over the sides of the container and are on the ground. the blooms are amazing though ! next year . . .
So so beautiful, Dahlias are by far my favorite flowers. Thanks for sharing.
Love your dahlias and the arrangement you made.
I grew my first this year from tubers - 2 kind - will plant more next year and maybe even try from seed.
Nice vid.
Where do you get your dahlias from? Big fan of the apricot colors! I’m looking for more variety to add to my garden next year.
Beautiful love your dahlias, I tried to grow one in a pot last year. I grew but no flower 😩 Happy to see you have great success. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
When do you fertilize your dahlias? What do you usually use. This is the first year I've grown some and plants are so small. They do have flowers but they are small too. How often do you water yours? I'm in zone 5 too.
I didn’t plant any dahlias this year, but I do miss them. Here in the desert they require tons of water or shade.
Thank you for your dahlia videos. I never thought about growing dahlias before, but I'm loving them in my garden this year. And the sweet sleepy bee bum, how adorable! I need that Crichton Honey dahlia, gorgeous!
Those are the most gorgeous flowers. They look beautiful all together to me💕🌸🌿
Hey Erin.. so glad Laura pointed you out to me! Have to admit I am not into Dahlias… or anything for that matter that I need to dig up in the fall… but then again.. I am new to the garden in my new house..maybe later.. that will be a thing! But back to the point, I am so glad to find a fellow gardener in my zone, especially one that is so fun and entertaining as you! Keep up the good work!! I look forward to every new video you put out!
Absolutely gorgeous! I agree all flowers go together. I have one ,my first dahlia in a pot this year and it is just beginning to form buds. A late bloomer I guess. Anyway I will save the tubers and try it again next year and see what happens. “See what happens” seems to be always in the garden plan and it keeps things very interesting.
Thank you for the simple explanation of how to cut for stem length. I have lots of side buds on my dahlias and I’ve not been sure what to do about them ❤️
So helpful seeing them on video side by side! I would love to see a video of all of them side by side (that are are blooming at the same time at least).
They are gorgeous! Thank you explaining each! The bouquet is stunning!❤
Its so nice and calm there
I tried to grow dahlia's and it's been a fail. They almost look like they have chlorosis, something likes to nip the flowers, and now they've just stopped blooming. Oh well...you can't always hit it out of the park right?
Erin how about a video on how to fight the Japanese Beetles?
So exciting. I have been waiting on your Dahlia tour. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Erin, I've been looking forward to seeing your dahlias! Question: my ball dahlias (Wizard of Oz & Crichton Honey) aren't opening up all the way. They look more like a semi-circle. Any thoughts? Do I need to fertilize them?
I'm becoming more and more a fan of the pom dahlias! I love the Wizard of Oz, and may have to order that one this year.
Beautiful flowers Erin! I’m not dealing with Japanese beetles but their cousins the Asian Garden beetle and Oriental beetle. Just as destructive.
It doesn't really seem to be an issue. It's certainly warm but I think that's why the plants are doing well.
