Great video, its the bees knees. We have a small front garden with three flowerbeds, fifty two pots of perennials and six pots of annuals on the front windowsills. In the pots we have alpines, sempervivums, alstroemerias, agapanthus, daylilies, calla lilies, lilies, ice plants, hebes, fuchsias, parahebes, salvias, African daisies, sedums and hostas.
Thank you for another inspiring video. I used to take my dahlia bulbs out and wrap them in brown paper, but they didn’t like that, so maybe I will keep them in the pot next time.
Thanks Elizabeth. Like you, in past autumns I did dig up dahlia tubers from garden soil to overwinter (traditionally lifting once foliage had been blackened by frost). However when growing in pots I do leave tubers in pots, simply stopping watering and bringing pots under cover to prevent waterlogged compost and freezing. This works for me! Good luck.
Welcome to my garden, and to my TH-cam Channel @Adams-Gardening-Guides. I do hope you enjoy this video, and if you do I'd be very grateful if you would Subscribe to my channel and give this video a Thumbs-Up! Many thanks, and Happy Gardening.
Hiya Adam thanks for your no nonsense information but is this video really from this summer as the weather where I am is terrible constant rain and wind and my large selection of dahlias have only just started to show buds.
Many thanks. Yes all my dahlias have flowered very early this year, and these were all filmed in flower over the past few weeks (from June into early July). As you can see, other pieces of video of different stages of growth, planting and overwintering were recorded at the appropriate times of year, and some other flowers I featured in the video (eg nerine and Eucomis) that flower later in summer were filmed in previous years to highlight the wonderful range of plants that can be grown for patio displays.
Hello Adam, thank you for the very informative episode. Can you tell me what the lilac flower behind and to the left of the liatris in your border is called? Thank you.
@@rn2020 Yes you're right .... it's the Obedient Plant - Physostegia virginiana var. speciosa 'Bouquet Rose'. This is a lovely hardy perennial that grows to about 4ft or so in my garden, possibly a little taller in a wet summer, and the clump gradually spreads outwards each year too, so you may need to keep it within bounds by pulling up some pieces to stop them smothering lower growing neighbours.
Adam..thank you so much.
I love your channel. I love your voice. I love your enthusiasm and knowledge.
Thank you, and delighted to hear how much you enjoy my channel.

That is awesome! What a wonderful range of plants you have…. Perfect for long-lasting colour!
Grazie mille maestro. Greetings and a happy gardening
So nice of you. And Happy Gardening to you too!
Excellent video. I already do most of what you are talking about especially with potting up.
That's great, and it sounds as if you must have a glorious garden yourself.

I’d no idea you didn’t just deadhead Alstroemerias! This is where I’ve been going excruciatingly wrong!!! 🥴Thanks
From now on you will certainly get more flowers!
@@Adams-Gardening-Guides yes thanks so much!!

If you mean the tall one, that is verbena bonariensis. If you mean the other one, I think it is physostegia, the obedient plant. Hope that helps.
