Your description of the immense Dalias family is absolutely a work of art. So instructive and breathtaking views of those beauties. I didn’t know so many fabulous dahlias excited. Thank you 🙏🌺

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

You are most welcome and I wish you a wonderful weekend.

A very well put together video containing a wealth of information. I've actually saved this video as a reference video. There are categories that are new to me and now that you have peeked my interest the hunt is on. Great video!

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

Wow, that is a great vote of confidence. Thank you, Una. You know, I whetted my own appetite making this video too. Disgusted to see my double orchid dahlia, Julie One, finally succumbed to rot this year so, at a minimum, I really need to replace that one if I possible can. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.

@GrannysGarden 2 года назад

@@GardeningatDouentza 🤣🤣🤣 We all know what replacing one means.....a few more will fall into the basket... totally by accident!!

I have to mention regarding Group 7, I have a couple of pompons called 'Tam Tam' which have open eyes, with large sized heads, and the ratio of flower to leaf is skewed heavily toward the flower (but can't compete with other types). Also they're still shooting out lots of buds now compared to my mignon and bishops, which are starting to really wind down. Dahlia 'Tam Tam' is great as the bees, hoverflies, and butterflies like it too. (have images to prove). I'm creating a wildlife garden, so I have to say any of the single types are my favs.

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

Tam Tam sounds great. Lovely deep colour. The RHS has it down as a ball type, by the way. I will have to look out for it. Thanks for sharing and have a super weekend.

You could buy some tubers and start growing early ,if you have a short summer.Thats my plan for next year ,start early and get everyday i can from these beautiful flowers.Roll on summer 2022

Thank you SO much for this video! I have not grown dahlias myself, but I am planning to get some next Spring. I think I will start out with some smaller ones for containers. Generally I am drawn to flowers with single petals, and I absolutely love anemones. Some of the decorative ones are also appealing to me. So many choices!

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

Yes, that is so true. There are so many choices with dahlias. I'm glad you liked the video and I wish you so much successful growing.

@@GardeningatDouentza ..The blossoms were rewarding in a vase. Too much tinkering around with the constant tying in. I dont have the full sun they require. I appreciate them and they ARE lovely blossoms,, but I don't think I will grow again. (well maybe one) :) Cheers!!

Thanks for the great video. According to an online dictionary, collerette in French means collar in English!

@faunalife2906 2 года назад

Its amazing that plant breeders have been able to produce all these varieties from a simple daisy-like flower. The anemone flowered ones at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="323">5:23</a> in the video remind me of giant scabious (cephalaria gigantea) - which I think would make a very good planting partner for it. The semi cactus dahlias look unusual but nature kind of rivals that flower shape in some types of monarda.

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

It is amazing what has been bred from simple dahlias. I am constantly in awe. I see what you mean about the anemone dahlia and cephalaria! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.

@michaelmccarthy4077 2 года назад

You know me, I love the Cactus and Semi-Cactus types (while the ball and pom pom are my least favorite, we happen to be opposites here I think 😉). But I do love the little miniatures too, typically just sold as seed packets of "border Dahlias" or flats of "mixed border Dahlia" here in the US, but if you shop around you might be able to find specific varieties like "Beliner Kleene", "Bluesette" or "Margareth Kleene". They're so cute at the front of a bed.

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

Bedding dahlias can be just gorgeous and absolutely worth growing. You know, about the cactus dahlias. I said I didn't like them but putting up those two photos in the video, I began to think how super they looked 😂

@laurelsayer7557 Год назад

Fascinating! I know dahlias are sun lovers, but in your experience have you found any varieties that are slightly more shade tolerant?

@GardeningatDouentza Год назад

I must say that I do sometimes plant dahlias in semi-shade but their performance is always less than optimal.

@stephendavidrathburn8952 20 дней назад

Question. I'm growing dahlias for the first time and absolutley love them. When I was planting one of the tubers ( in a pot) I noticed it had leafy gall. Since I was curious and also planting in separate pots I decided to not dispose of it and watch it grow. It was the first one to bloom out of about 10 different tubers and the colors are my favorite so far. I'm cutting the massive growth nodules at the base with steril chippers. I know I shouldn't save the tuber for next year and I can't take cuttings but if I cover several blooms to keep the bees from cross pollinating them, will the seeds be capable of producing the same flower without the Gall?

@GardeningatDouentza 19 дней назад

Sorry to hear about your leafy gall. I cannot say whether or not the gall will be transmitted by seed, although I doubt it. I will say however that your dahlia (unless it's a species) will not come true from seed. Double dahlias, for example, always produce offspring that are single from seed.

Hello there! your video is very informative, so thank you. Would you know which category does Manhattan Island belong to? all it says is a dinnerplate! thanks...

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

Manhattan Island is a decorative dahlia. You can see this information in the RHS website where (D) after the plant name means 'decorative'. Nice dahlia by the way!

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

Can't seem to find it on the American Dahlia Society

@FernandaNascimentoOrchids 2 года назад

The very showy Dhalias are too large/ tall for my garden and too sophisticated. I very much prefer the single ones also because they are more interesting for insects.

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

I understand. It is wonderful how the insects love those single dahlias 😊

Brilliant video you keep it so interesting. Can we address the elephant in the room, slugs! Mine are nearly elephant size. They eat my young, grown from seed plants everytime, collarette Dandy.. I don't use slug pellets, anyone got tips for me?

@GardeningatDouentza 2 года назад

Thank you for such kind words. Slugs can really be a pain. I understand you don't use pellets (and neither do I in the garden) but you might consider a row of them on the inside of your greenhouse door. It can be very effective and, because it is inside the greenhouse, the birds are not going to eat any poisoned slugs. Alternatively copper strips for around your pots? Anyway, enjoy your weekend.
