Thanks for sharing! I produced my first dahlia from seeds this summer and will harvest for next spring! I’m always jealous of my parents in Florida where these are perennials 🌸🌱😆
You’re welcome! They’re hardy and perennials here in zone 8 and I have a friend who’s grown them for years in zone 7 by mulching in the fall to insulate them tubers. ☺️
Wow i didn't know all the information on starting the seeds from the seeds you collected they are so beautiful and i would love to try to grow from seeds too just need to finds seeds 💖💚💖💚💖💚💖Awesome video Thank you Misilla 💚🌷💚
Great Video! I placed my dahlia tubers order last week but they will not ship it until spring. I got cafe au lait, beach ball collection and strawberry ice. Since it’s my first time, I still have to research how to plant tubers. Hope it comes up and produce nice big blooms. Can’t wait!!!!
@@LearnToGrow1 I grew some dinnerplate dahlias from seed but the plants look very short! I was expecting taller plants ! Would you know it they are going to be taller next year?
Im trying this for the first time. Im in zone 6b technically dahilas arent hardy in my zone but i have two varieties that i left in the ground over winter just to see and they came up beautifully the past two years. I heard its easy to grow them from seed. Ima gonna try it just for fun! I LOVE your raised beds where did u get them?!
I so wish I had watched this video BEFORE I separated out the tubers and likely cut off all the little growth buds (eyes) that I didn't know were there!
Hello, do you have to leave the seed pods on the plant until they are brown and dry, or can you cut them off sooner (when the flower is dead) and leave in a vase to continue seed development? Thanks.
Hi! I leave them on till they dry so the seeds develop or mature completely. You can check and open one up to see if the seeds are dark brown/black and if they are you can let the buds dry indoors.
Hi Mary, I’d wait to sow the seeds outdoors about a week before your last spring frost. You can also start them indoors 6 weeks before your last frost date.
Thank you for this informative video. Quick question from beginning ratios grower: if Ibgriw dahlias of similar height from seed, will the height be a out the same as the original dahlias?
Hi you’re welcome! Yes, it should be, but ones from seed sometimes don’t bloom till the following year. They will produce a tuber for you though…viable tubers may take 2-3 years to develop that you can save or separate then plant. ☺️ I’m also thinking if they cross with a dwarf variant then the height may differ.
Hi, I am in UK. Once I have collected the seeds at the end of summer when do I plant them? And how many seeds do I plant per pot? (Small plant pot). Thank you.
Hi! Dahlia is frost-sensitive and should be planted outside after your last spring frost date or start the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before that date. Make sure to harden off the seedlings before planting out if you start them inside. I use a 3-inch nursery pot plant with 2 seeds in each and select the healthiest one after they get their first set of true leaves. You can also keep all of them separate at this stage so they don't get root-bound and compete for water and nutrients. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Hi! Yes they will flower the first season given the right growing conditions in full sun and well draining fertile soil. The second year is usually more productive.
Hi Jim, It’s best to allow them to dry on the plant completely so they seeds mature and develop properly. I usually harvest the seed heads 4-6 weeks before our first frost date.
@@LearnToGrow1 ok thanks. Also watched another video that said you don’t tend to get seeds from the more compact types without the open centers. Have you noticed / experienced that??
Hi yes you can try in late March to winter sow them, but if you anticipate a late frost in spring, make sure to cover them up with a horticultural fleece if sown directly in the ground as they are frost tender.
Wow your dahlias are beautiful and thankyou for showing me how to collect seeds I really appreciate it,have a lovely day…watching from 🇬🇧

Omg I did not know this thank you so much
💚
Thanks for sharing this video
You’re welcome!
I've just started to fall in love dahlia. They are so expensive. It will be money saving to be able to collect the seeds. Thanks
Yes, they can get pricey and it's fun to see how the flowers look like grown from seed! Thanks for watching!

Did you mulch your dahlia tubers? Our beds are from Vego Garden :)
I so wish I had watched this video BEFORE I separated out the tubers and likely cut off all the little growth buds (eyes) that I didn't know were there!
I’m sorry to hear! I’ve done the same with the tubers and why I don’t always separate them unless they get very overcrowded.
Hello, do you have to leave the seed pods on the plant until they are brown and dry, or can you cut them off sooner (when the flower is dead) and leave in a vase to continue seed development? Thanks.
Hi! I leave them on till they dry so the seeds develop or mature completely. You can check and open one up to see if the seeds are dark brown/black and if they are you can let the buds dry indoors.
Wow! Those are beautiful! When would you plant the seeds in the flower bed in zone 7?
Hi Mary, I’d wait to sow the seeds outdoors about a week before your last spring frost. You can also start them indoors 6 weeks before your last frost date.
Thank you 😊

Do dwarf dahlias get taller each year or do they remain small
Hi they usually stay small, but if the flowers cross pollinate with another variety, the seeds may breed differently from the mother plant.
Hi, I am in UK. Once I have collected the seeds at the end of summer when do I plant them? And how many seeds do I plant per pot? (Small plant pot). Thank you.

When planting the seeds in spring do they produce flowers in summer or do you have to wait 2 yrs?
Hi! Yes they will flower the first season given the right growing conditions in full sun and well draining fertile soil. The second year is usually more productive.
Can you cut them and hang dry upside down or is best to let them dry completely on the plant?
Hi Jim, It’s best to allow them to dry on the plant completely so they seeds mature and develop properly. I usually harvest the seed heads 4-6 weeks before our first frost date.

Thanks for watching!
We r in zone 9 very wet here .. ? Ever get dry .. going to try tho
It’s been very wet here as well. You can put the pods to dry in the warmest room with a fan. Just make sure there’s good air circulation. ☺️
What was the name of the dahlia your mother bought you?
Hi! I believe it’s called Lubega White and lilac frost
can i winter sow the dahlia seeds?
Hi yes you can try in late March to winter sow them, but if you anticipate a late frost in spring, make sure to cover them up with a horticultural fleece if sown directly in the ground as they are frost tender.
Hi will this plant have tubers and can I propagate from them. Please reply
Hi yes! You can separate the tubers.
Ipudu e seasonlo vesyocha
You can plant the seeds in spring after the danger of frost has passed.
