  • The frosts have past and the weather has warmed up enough to plant out the dahlias! In this video you will learn why I pinch them out and see how I do it. I also talk about my planting plan and show you how to plant them in the ground and in containers with lots of tips and advice along the way!

    There are soooo many videos on Dahlias, but yours is the best! I have been searching for replanting from pots for months...until I found your video. Thanks so much- you have have a great voice and personality for doing these videos.

    This year is my 42 growing season of having my own garden. I've been growing dahlias for about 25 years now. I love those amazing showy blooms. Dahlias are one of my favourite flowers to grow. Recently I've been sharing tubers for quite a while and this year I actually sold some here in my small mountain village where I live in a small cabin next to my large garden. This year I have 155 dahlias in the ground. I've never pinched the tops, but that is a good idea for stockier plants and more blooms, as you say. My dahlias are generally tall and most often need staking so when the plants are heavy with blooms they don't just fall over. I've tried several methods of support and I'm always trying new ways, all trial and error on my part. I'm no expert, by any means, and I've made lots of mistakes with my plants over the years. Last year I grew around 15 varieties of dahlias and I'm always keen on trying new types. Like you say, dahlias begin to bloom around mid-summer and last until frost, so they are generally a magnificent flower to grow and enjoy. With the number of dahlias I grow, deadheading is quite a big job but worth the effort. Lots of colours, shapes and sizes in the dahlia family, that is for sure. I've really enjoyed watching your videos and seeing your garden grow. I've also learned from you and as a gardener I very much enjoy seeing how other gardener's grow things and how things are organized and displayed. I live alone now but I am always bringing flowers from my garden in so I can enjoy them even more. Thanks again for sharing your videos and knowledge. You do a great job. Cheers!

    I tend to pinch my dahlias way earlier in their growth. As soon as I get three sets of leaves, I wait until I can grab the tiny stem in between the top set of leaves with my fingers and break if off. This greatly reduces the time that the plant wastes on the growth which will be removed anyway. I literally only have to remove about an inch.

    Lovely video! Just one thing: Dahlia cuttings do indeed root - and not only that, they root fast and easily! I usually cut the tip back to a leaf node and stick it in a pot with well drained soil: growth starts usually within a week. Try it!

    I bought way more than I should have, considering it's the first time I've gotten any. I too started mine in garden center pots I save, I'm glad you showed planting them, I wasn't really sure how to go about it, they have grown nicely in those pots. Now I just need more garden space...sigh...

    As a young homeowner, the very first plant I grew in my garden was dahlias. I grew them from seed, nurtured them lovingly and planted out the seedlings in a carefully prepared bed. Slugs gobbled the lot. Bas***ds!! It left me broken. 😄😄

    Hi, I wondered if you could do a video or explain when and how and with what you stake your dahlia's. I don't see any of the stakes in your garden on the dahlia's. I will be planting dahlia's for the first time in my garden in Brooklyn so they all will go in containers. Thank you, I'm really enjoying your videos and allotment!

    A little late in watching your videos, I am catching up though. I was really interested to see that you pinch out the tips of your dahlias. I didn't know about this, Katrina, so thank you for teaching me something new today My favourite dahlias are the singles and particularly the Honka variety. I love the star-like flowers and so do the bees. The dark one "Verrone's Obsidian" is my absolute favourite. Love your videos!

    Thanks so much for this. I'm growing dahlias from seed for the first time this year. Great explanation and demonstration for pinching out. I always used to get confused as to how it gave more flowers. It was only when I read that the lead stem sends out a chemical signal to suppress flowering on any side stems that I realised why it works. By pinching out the lead stem you effectively create two more lead stems. The absence of the chemical signal from the original single lead stem stimulates flower growth in these new ones.

    Looking forward to seeing your display :) The pompom and cactus types in bold red and pink colours are my favourite flowers ever, I think. My gran grew masses of them when I was a child (and still does) and I remember being amazed a flower could look so magical!
    Try as I might, mine get eaten by slugs every year. But I keep trying.. I've planted a load in containers at the back of my flower bed this year rather than putting them in the ground, surrounded them with beer traps and nematodes. They've got a few holes but haven't been demolished so far, though with all this rain we're getting I'm worried I'll go out tomorrow and they'll be gone!

I have lots of bishops children, dwarf mixed, fireworks, bishops llandraff, coccinea, cactus. I have been planting them around other plants but an tempted too strip the bed of all other plants and give them plenty of room. I've been planting between a few roses, apple trees and on top of daffs lols

    Thank you so much for making this video! I wasn't sure how to go about pinching the ones that are currently making shoots now, as well as how and when to plant them. I have noticed though that the first dahlias I purchased a few months ago have yellowing leaves and malformed flowers, and I can't tell from my research if it's a fertilizing issue or an overwatering issue. Do you have any advice for how to get them green and healthy again?
    Can't wait to see your dahlia displays this year! Your videos showing them off are what got me into growing my own this year. And all of your dahlia care videos have been super helpful!

    We planted just one city light lavender pink dahlia from a nursery pot in early April in North Carolina. After the 4 blooms died off, the plant grew wider and wider with no new blooms but lots of green leaves. Filling up the spaces in our butterfly garden. Don't know if we should trim back some of the green leaves or wait and see what happens. It is now early summer and temperatures have reached 85-90 degrees on some days. What do you think we should do? We are fearful it might take up too much space. Thanks
