- Come with me as we compare each of the big dahlias in my garden with flower heads larger than 20cm (8 inches). There are so many beautiful varieties to bring a massive splash of colour to the garden borders and flower arrangements.

10:13 Most beautiful dahlia border I have ever seen. what an inspiration! Thanks for providing the names!
Wow! So nice of you, thanks Mary 😊
Amazing dahlia collection.
Loved this video 🌻
Thanks Susan. I can't wait for the garden to be filled with dahlia blooms this year! 🌸
Thank You, got some "City Lights" this year. The leaves are almost black with beautiful red flowers. New veriety this year I think, you should check em out. Bless.
Thanks for the suggestion! They look spectacular 😁
Spectacular flower beds!!
Thanks Pam. So glad you enjoyed them.
You are great :) subscribing
Thanks for the sub!
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful set of dahlias! ❤
Gosh, thank you so much 🌸😁
Wow, so beautiful dahlias. Thank you for letting us see ❤
Thanks for visiting
Wow! Love your collection of dahlia's Annette. I grew and cut my very first dahlia today. It had a little bug damage but it was still very pretty.
How wonderful Patti! Nothing brings me more joy than the mass of colour you can get from a few dahlias at this time of year.
A veritable feast for the eyes! Thank you ❤
You are so welcome, Elie. Thank you. 💚
WOW ! Your dahlias are amazing .💐 I would love to give ,Danique , Babylon Bronze a try . I purchased 2 dahlia’s this year that were miss labeled so disappointing 😢 . Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. It's really annoying when you end up with the wrong dahlia - try to go back to the supplier with photographic evidence - they should definitely refund you.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your fabulous dahlias!! ~ Your garden is gorgeous!! ~ Thank you ~ from Seattle, Washington USA
Gosh, thank you so much! say 'hi' to Seattle for me - love that city 👋🏼
LOVE your dahlia tours!
Thank you so much! I will definitely be making more 😁
❤Lovely collection. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Monty🌸
Stunning! I love them all but Vancouver has to be my favourite. I'm always amazed that something so beautiful can come from a tuber. I only have a few Dahlias but seeing yours has made me want more.
I totally agree! The more dahlias I see, the more I want 😁
I love Penhill Watermelon and Maya. The tomatoes look pretty next to the dahlias.
Thanks - yes, I'm enjoying having the tomatoes dotted around the flowers this year 😁
brilliant video - so helpful to see them in the bed AND in the vase all together so that one can really compare shapes and colors...! Many greetings from Vienna!
Glad you enjoyed it! and, wow! I love Vienna 😁
Thank you for this video! ❤
You are so welcome!
Nice dahlia collection
Thank you 😊 so much 🌸
9:46😍 and I like the orange ball with it; reminds me of my Sylvia, but Sylvia gets 6 ft. tall for me. I love how your dahlias mingle and don't look leggy. I'll keep looking at your videos and maybe I'll find some tips for that. I just started growing them about 4 years ago, so I'm doing pretty good for a beginner. I appreciate the cutting tip early on in this video.
Thanks Karen, yes, it does look like Sylvia - thanks so much for suggesting that - super helpful. So glad you enjoyed the video. 😁
Great tip on where to cut the dahlia flowers. Absolutely stunning dahlias Annette. Well done 💐
Thanks so much Carol. 😊 That means the world to me.
Very Beautiful! Penhill watermelon is one of my top 5 Dahlias
Thank you Michelle. Yes, isn't it fabulous!
Such beautiful dahlias. Love them. I am going to grow Penhill Watermelon, Hillcrest Kismet, and Mingus Alex next year. Favourites from my garden, this year, are Babylon red, Babylon Bronze, Rancho, David Howard. Labyrinth and Richard's Fortune, I grew Danique for the first time this year, and I love it. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous blooms with us - I can't bear to cut mine- you are so brave! Happy gardening :-) x
I love Labyrinth too but lost mine over the winter. I have Richard's Fortune too but I haven't had a bloom for a while now ☹️
Your Dahlias go so well with the Orange Dahlia , I adore orange and apricot with pinks .
Your lime plant with Vancouver is gorgeous, what it is ? Perfect lime with colours , it might not be lime foliage it could be the petals.
I’ve never liked Dahlias, you’ve changed that for me , I will have many next Summer for sure . Thank you 😊
Yes, the orange one is growing on me - maybe I'll keep it. Someone said it looks like Sylvia and I agree it does. Hope you enjoy your dahlias next year - I think they're wonderful plants. 🌸
beautiful garden..
Thank you John. Thanks for visiting 😁
I enjoyed this video!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Pamela. 🌸
Beautiful dahlias. I ordered five Dinner Plate dahlias of different colours and only one is a Dinner Plate. We've been getting a lot of rain here. Bonny
Thanks Bonny. What a shame about your dinner plate dahlias though - you should go back to the supplier - they really should refund you. Our weather has also been awful this year. And much colder than normal - I think the dahlias are loving it though!
Gyönyörű szép daliak ķulombozo mafassagban színekben formákban fantasztikus szépségek nekemis vannak mindig mutatnak valam8 szépségét túl nagy munkát nemigelnek de odafigyeles kell így pompáznak ragyognak a gyönyörű viragok a ön kertjében tisztelettel köszönöm ❤❤❤🎉🎉😂😂

Thank you 💚
Could the red and white dahlia be a "karma yin yang" dahlia?
It might be - or it could be Tartan. I really don't know but I'm definitely not that fond of it!
Your Dahlias are truly spectacul,
Do you have any tips for growing in Ireland where we have lots of rain and subsequently lots of slug problems.
Many thanks for your wonderful videos.
Thank you so much Catherine.
I try to avoid the slug problem by starting my dahlia tubers in pots and keeping them indoors until they have at least 2 sets of leaves. I harden them off at this point but only leave them out during the day and them bring them in every single night until they are BIG. I find that once they're a substantial enough size, they can fight off any slug damage and so I can plant them out without any worries. We also use nematodes at the beginning of the season and this helps with slugs (has no effect on snails, though. unfortunately).
We were fortunate enough to go on holiday at the beginning of this month for nearly three weeks. We have a mixture of dahlias planted in borders and also in pots in our front and back gardens. Our good fortune in being away whilst it rained the whole time has been tempered on our return. Big healthy looking plants ( both in border and pots) when we left have been reduced to absolute sticks . I can only assume that the slugs have had a great time . A few plants have struggled valiantly on but it’s rather a shame as they were looking very promising before we left and hadn’t really started to flower . It seems to me that the dark leaved varieties have suffered more. @@cottoverdi
I'm gobsmacked. Your dahlias are a credit to you, absolutely beautiful. Where do you buy your stock?
Thank you sooo much! I buy my tubers from various places - Halls of Heddon, Rose Cottage, Farmer Gracy and also JParkers.
@@cottoverdi Thanks for sharing. God bless your heart, keep up the good work.
I love your dahlia videos ☺ W e are gearing up for our dahlia season Down Under. I wonder how many tubers you plant of each variety to get your show of blooms ? Some of my first year tubers did not get many flowers - wondering if that is normal when the tubers are still small ? Is it also normal for some varieties to have thinner stems ? TY 🌸🌸
Hi Jacqui, many of mine are just 1 tuber this year because I lost so many over the winter so I had to replace some. I bought 1 of each and will divide them over the winter so that I have more next year. The exception to that is that I have about 6 tubers of Great Silence because I love it so much. Yes, some varieties have thinner stems and will need more support. I'm lazy so tend to only grow dahlias that need less support. Also, when deadheading, it's best to cut lower down so that the new shoots are thicker.
Sometimes, if a dahlia is very young, you may not get many blooms but it really does depend on the variety. The vase majority will produce loads of blooms even if it's just a cutting. Dahlias prefer cooler temps - which is why they're doing so well in UK this summer 🤪. If they're too hot, they may struggle to perform.
Beautiful. But I could not read the variety names on the screen, way too small. If you can make it a lot bigger and in black writing would be so helpful! Thank you
I’m so sorry you had difficulty reading the names. It’s not possible to change videos once they’re uploaded but if you replay it, you can try pausing the video when you see a tag that’s you’d like to read. Also, try to use the RUclips setting that allows the maximum pixels when you play the video. Hope this helps.
