- Dahlias can provide non stop easy colour from early July to the end of October. Bunny shows you how it can be possible to avoid staking and lifting them, so making dahlias a really easy but highly enjoyable plant. Top tips re growing, propagating, planting, deadheading and enjoying from Bunny’s garden where she has grown them (in USDA zone 8) for cutting and in borders for many, many years.

Bunny, you are such a treasure! ❤Don’t ever stop. 🤩
I grew dahlias for the first time this year and know nothing about them. This was very informative. I love your content; it is entertaining and educational in every way! More please!
I really enjoyed watching this - Bunny is such a source of great gardening wisdom. I leave my dahlia tubers in the ground and most come back year after year. I’ve got a dry garden so maybe that helps over winter though I do need to water a lot in the summer. I love cutting bunches of dahlias and giving as little gifts - such beautiful flowers!!
How ironic that you would do a video on Dahlias , I was talking to a friend and we both said that we wanted to add Dahlia plant material to our gardens this year. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
I love dahlias! I am growing 17 right now. Thomas Edison is one of them. Thank you for your lovely videos. ❤
Hi Bunny, loved this more relaxed take on dahlia growing, so many videos make it seem incredibly complicated and intimidating. Also interesting to hear you talk about how yours have become established clumps which makes me think maybe you don't split them - is that right? I left mine in the ground last year too (Scotland) and they came through the winter fine. However I was wondering about splitting because people make such a big deal about how they MUST be split every year and I wasn't sure when to do that if I wasn't lifting. Maybe I could just do it every few years like I do with other perennials? Unless you think it's not necessary at all?
I have my dahlias in the ground all year. I live in a climatic zone similar to your garden. Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Thanks for the tips!
Thankyou! I am very new to gardening and it is quickly becoming a passion. Your videos give me concise information and confidence! Perfect!
My whole yard is a shady place so I’ve had to adjust my thinking to total shade gardening. I’m totally loving it. They are so cool and inviting. Ligularia, toad lily and Hokonekloa and even pink turtlehead on the more sunny but moist edges are my favorites. Spring ephemerals are such a treat. My Sweet woodruff doesn’t hold up well in the heat either. It seems a little finicky and yeah I’m finding little starts if it all over the yard thanks to the seed heads. Fabulous garden!
Love your channel. I'm in Melbourne Australia and you have convinced me to try Dahlias this spring. Ive seen some seed packets in my seed catalogue as well as tubers in the garden centre always thought they were for really experienced gardeners. Thanks for encourging us to give it a go.
Jane, dahlias grow so well around Melbs. There is a seller called Country Dahlias out at Gellibrand near Geelong that has a fantastic collection online or for pick up. They have the singles and dark foliage varieties that Bunny mentioned. I have a Cafe au Lait that has done very well in a pot and therefore is good for a smaller space with moving the pot to get more sun. Cafe au Laits are easier to find.
This is my first year for dahlias and next year there will be more. Beautiful blooms and foliage.
That was fantastic! I’m going to try dahlias!
Thanks Bunny 😊I had already decided to try dahlias next year so your video is very well timed and very helpful 👍
i am a sand soil and mine stay in the ground all winter, and like you place a mulch on top but not as deep as i have daf and tulips in same boarder. and they intermingle. i have so many no and the tubers are so huge and can become a bit of a thug so much so i am splitting and giving away
i pinch out so even my dinner plates are more stable slubs even help with that task, as long as they dont get too eager at their job.
gardening so called rules are more guides
Question about propagation: when you say put the cuttings in “potting compost” is that potting soil? Or actual compost? I’m in the US, so trying to translate. Thank you!
Potting compost is just compost, sieved if necessary so that it's fine with no lumps or organic material that has not fully decomposed.
@@iainbudge9392 thank you!
Zone 8, minus 12°? or is it just 12°?. A negative 12 degrees is rough for that area. That does not seem right.
Celsius.
