HTML-код

- Today we’re comparing each of the ball and pom-pom style dahlias in my garden. These varieties have such a variation in flower size, plant height and colour, which makes it hard to choose a favouite!

Bunga yang cantik taman yang indah Terima kasih
Terima kasih banyak-banyak. Saya gembira anda seronok menonton. 💚
I SO appreciate how you keep naming all the dahlias in every shot. Even the ones you are not focusing on in the particular video. I find it very helpful and wanted to say thank you!! I really enjoy your dahlia videos!
Thank you! I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos and finding them helpful.
Thanks for watching
Annette 😁
Paradise ❤
Thank you so much 😊
’Small World’ is the dahlia I no longer have that I miss the most, mine was at least 4’ tall and very floriferous. I had it planted next to ‘Fleurel’ and the little balls looked like planets orbiting the sun, which was the dinner plate ‘Fleurel.’
Isn't that odd - I've had Small World for a few years and found it to always be short - maybe it's due to my climate?
I'm glad that you like it though, I know that many people do, that's why I chose it!
Thanks for watching.
Annette 🌸
Love them. 😍
Thank you! 😊
Gyönyörű daliak fantasztikus színekben formákba lenyugozo gratulálok tisztelettel köszönöm
Nagyon szépen köszönöm. Nagyon örülök, hogy tetszett a videó
I love gardening.specialy growing Dahlias.They are beatiful flowers.Greetings from Bridgeport,CT from Héctor Luis.
Hi Hector! Yes, dahlias are one of my passions!
So enjoyed watching this video
Thanks so much Maureen. And thanks for watching. Annette x
Thank you
You're welcome Monika 😁
Thank you, once again, Annette for taking the time and effort to make another very informative dahlia review. Not only is it great to see the colour, form, size and height of each of your dahlia varieties, but very useful to hear your thoughts on how they have performed in your garden. I have found quite a few of my varieties have been slower than normal to start flowering this year and am still waiting for a couple of them of them to produce their first bloom! However, ‘Franz Kafka’ has been flowering it’s socks off for weeks, here in my Aberdeenshire garden and ‘Wine-eyed Jill’ and ‘Wizard of Oz’ have been incredibly prolific too. I, like you, have had a few mislabelled tubers in the last couple of years (6 to be precise, from 2 reputable mail order companies), which is extremely frustrating! I’m looking forward to seeing your decorative dahlia review too. Keep them coming!🙂
Thanks Aileen,
Isn't it funny how different climates (and probably soils) affect the dahlias. My Wizard of Oz have not flowered particularly well this year - and they are some of my absolute favourite!
Thanks for your lovely comments and for watching,
Annette 🌸
Love your dahlia videos so much! I appreciate that you showed the looks of both the whole plant and the flowers, and also the name of each dahlia very clearly, SO helpful!
You are so welcome - I'm really glad you find it helpful to have the names because it does take me a bit of extra time to add this information to the videos. I just know that I'd find it super helpful too, if others did the same. 😁
Thanks for watching,
Annette 🌸
Annette, I love your channel! My dahlias finally are blooming after a harsh Japanese beetle season in Virginia over the summer. Your garden is gorgeous! Can you please do a video on fertilizing next year? ❤
Hi Elizabeth, thank you so much for your kind words, it means so much to me that you are enjoying the videos. Thank you also for the prompt - I will definitely make a video about how I fertilise the garden. 😁🌱
You do an excellent job with your videos on the different varieties. I like the comparisons at the end and also your thoughts and comments. It is so helpful. Thank you! 😊❤
Thank you very much Cheri. 🌸😁
My first year geiwing and Im hooked!! Thank you for the video
My pleasure - I', so glad you enjoyed it.
Heavenly. My favorite flowers on earth.
Thanks Susan. They are stunning and hard to resist - my numbers seem to grow every year!
Such a great video! Thank you!! We're going into the very start of Dahlia season here in the southern hemisphere so your video has been very inspiring - great to see your colour combinations!!!
Thanks Pamela - Oh, you're so lucky to have all that colour at this time of year !
Wonderful selecton - thanks for sharing👍🌱🌞
Glad you enjoyed it 🌸
Great video, so useful to see them both on the plant and cut.
Thank you so much. I'm really glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching.

This is the most helpful Dahlia video I've watched. I am watching it for the second time before I place the Dahlia order. Looks like the tour for decorative/waterlily Dahlia is not posted yet, I am wondering if you plan to post it in the near future. I am looking forward to that one for a while. Thanks!
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful. I'm so sorry but I didn't;t manage to get the Dec/Waterlily tour out this year because we went on (a really long) holiday (!!!!) and so by the time we got back, all the dahlias had passed their best because I hadn't been deadheading them. It was such a shame but I will definitely make one this year and I have LOADS of new varieties too!
@@cottoverdi Great, looking forward to more Dahlia videos from you! Could you recommend a few most prolific decorative/waterlily Dahlias with pink/peach color in your 2023 garden? Would you consider making a simplified version for decorative/waterlily Dahlia tour 2023, using some related photos or video clips from your garden? Your experiences/thoughts about each Dahlia have been very helpful.
Hi there, I'm so sorry but I've given it some thought but I just don't think I have sufficient material (photos/videos) to make a decent RUclips video. Thanks for the suggestion though and I will try my hardest to do better this year!
Would love bigger labels/name. I have to zoom in to get the name and miss what you are talking about next. Love your videos. Hope you enjoyed your holidays xx
Hi Sheila, thanks for letting me know it's difficult to read the labels. I will bear that in mind for future videos. I tend to use the pause button if I can't read the labels on other people's videos - I even have to pause Gardener's World! My eyesight isn't what it used to be 🤪🤣
Thought it really interesting hearing which flowers last well, and which go over quickly.
Thanks Laurel, I'm so glad you found it helpful. I love making these videos; the dahlias make me so happy!
Annette 🌸
Your Dahlias are beautiful! I grew some from seed a few years back, collected the tubers, overwintered them here in my zone 5b climate, divided them, and now I have a huge collection of Dahlias. They are now one of my favorite flowers in the garden! ♥🌺
That is awesome! It's so hard to choose which dahlias to keep though...my collection just gets bigger and bigger every year 🤣
Thanks for watching,
Annette 🌸
Just found your channel. Love your videos!
Thank you so much Felicia - I'm posting a new one tomorrow hopefully. I've been on holiday for so long - it's been wonderful but too much time away from the garden!
Adorable cat loves the garden too. Love your garden. ❤ It’s beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much Annette for showing us around your gorgeous dahlias, but even more so for the comparison table at the end. I love this part of your dahlia videos, - so useful. I love the Skelmersdale , ( Skel- mers- dale) Jayne dahlia- gorgeous. I have a dahlia which has flowered it's socks off and the flowers seem to last forever on the plant- Babylon red- another decorative but with a large red bloom. I also have Babylon Bronze, but that isn't any where near as prolific! Caitlin's Joy and Daisy Duk both look very pretty. Another 2 for my list- the bank manager isn't going to be my friend, lol! Ooh and I love La Corbiere- gorgeous!
Hi Be,
Thanks for watching. This dahlia obsession is expensive, isn't it!?!
Annette 🌸
@@cottoverdi certainly is, along with my general plant osessions , ha ha 🤣
Love your videos ❤. I dry my Rocco dahlias to put in dried bouquets drying the winter which sell very well
how do you dry dahlias if I can ask?
Cut stem, strip leaves, hang upside down in closet, or other dark dry area.. I usually do 4 in a bunch, tied with rubber band to allow for shrinkage. Once fully dry, spray with hairspray to keep the colour for years.. Most ball dahlias you can dry, including white
Sounds perfect. Thanks Cherie. 🌸
I reallyreally need a video like this! Amazing job thank you so much! Hope I can get some Megan Dean for next year~ May I ask any varieties you want but you still dont have yet?
Thank you. Gos, yes there are so many - loads that are easy to come by in the USA but we just can't get hold of here. Microflowerfarm has some wonderful varieties - as does Floret - but they aren't available to us...yet.😆
Great video and have lots of inspiration for this year. Just wondered how you keep track of the dahlia names?
Hi there, thank you. I have every dahlia labelled with a plant tag in the soil - but most of them I can remember because I love them so much and I've been growing many of these varieties for a few years. It's the new ones that are hard to remember!
Nature is just so wonderful and it never ceases to amaze me how those wonderful shapes appear. Do you get troubled with earwigs Annette? My uncle was a Dahlia grower and I always remember that he used to put an upturned pot filled with straw on top of a cane amongst the flowers. Your collection is the best I've ever seen.
Thanks so much Wendy. I do LOVE dahlias 😁. I used to do the upturned pot trick a few years ago to try to catch the earwigs but I never caught any and don't seem to have many problems with them so I don't bother setting the traps anymore. I've had some slugs eating a few flowers but really not that many so I'm not too worried about them.
Thanks for watching,
Annette 🌸
Beautiful. Never thought about growing dahlias, can🤔 they grow in outdoor pots?
Yes, absolutely - just try to choose shorter varieties and plant one per pot (unless your pots are enormous!)
thank you@@cottoverdi
I have not been able to figure out whether "Rocco" and Rococo" are actually the same pom pom dahlia. I Got Rococo and it was more purple like maybe the one you have at the front...my friend has what she calls Rocco and it is small and tight and tiny, more maroon pompom, so maybe they are two distinct different dahlias. Love that tour - so helpful !
Yes, maybe there are 2 different dahlias! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching,
Annette 🌸
I loved this. The closest i have to a ball one is Jadoo but i was wondering what do you do to keep slugs and earwigs at bay. Iv never seen an earwig here. We do have literally shovel loads of woodlice hiding along the gravel. You can draw your name in them on the wall onna damp warm night. And slugs are mainly tiger slugs which prefer the cut lawn stems over the dahlias but since planting the dahlias (our first try) ive discovered we do actually have a fairly good amount of earwigs. They dont only shred the petals of the dahlias but have taken a liking to the echancia as well. So how do you combat them there because they must be rife with the summer weve had? Oh and i also discovered earwigs can fly to the flowers. The do have wings. The stuff you learn.
Hi Adam,
We have loads of slugs and snails - then tend to stay away from the dahlias because I don't plant them out in the beds until they are a good size (I grow them on in pots first). And I use nematodes for the slugs and this really does help, although I only apply it once in late spring even though you're supposed to apply it earlier. I also go on night hunts for the slugs and dispose of them, but in all honesty, I don't do this very often. With earwigs, I used to try to trap them in upturned pots hung on sticks and filled with dry grass but we just don't seem to have that many - maybe something else in my garden is eating them? so I don't bother with the upturned pots anymore. I do think that flying earwigs sound revolting though! 🤣
Thanks for watching,
Annette
Correy’s slug & snail
Sluggo also
Please you sell dahalia pom pom verity bulb in amazone I buy because I love it,,I from india
Hi there! I'm so sorry but I don't sell dahlia tubers (yet). When I do start to sell them, I will be sure to announce it here. Thanks for watching.
Do you sell the tubers in springs?
I'm so sorry but I don't sell them yet - maybe one day I will be brave!
I have doubts about you "small world", it looks more like "snowflake" to me
You could be right - I've found suppliers are not 100% accurate with what they send out. Thanks for the tip.
