Although originally a native of Mexico, dahlias have become a British classic. A few years ago though, they fell out of favour with gardeners who thought of them as an old fashioned, gaudy and time consuming plant their great granddads grew on their allotments.
Fortunately after decades in the doldrums, they are enjoying a revival due to their vast colour range and fantastic flower power - those with single blooms are also a magnet to bees and butterflies. This has made them a real crowd pleaser and popular garden plant.
We visited Sarah Raven's cutting garden in east Sussex where she grows an incredible range of dahlias.

How lovely. I love how we hold a sentiment to plants my mother still has my grandfathers fuscia decades old

@kimkoch3272 3 года назад

Do you take them put of the ground?

@shanlynwebb 3 года назад

@@kimkoch3272 no not usually. But I do break off some of the bulbs when it gets too big. I generally leave it all year in a big clump in the ground.

I love listening to Sarah as she is so articulate. Her description of the flowers is so rich that if I couldn’t see them I would have a vivid image of what they look like in my mind.

Just had 10 small plants from you. They look really healthy. Just potted them on can't wait to get them in the ground

@ninelaivz4334 2 года назад

I planted some dahlias tubers in a border that was bordered by grass. When the tubers produced stems and leaves at 8 inches high I noticed that one of the dahlias was decimated whilst the others were untouched. I threw down pellets and beer traps but caught nothing. I few days later I decided to trim the grass edge as it had overgrown in length and was covering the border. I lifted the grass up to cut it, underneath right by the decimated dahlia I found 20 slugs and a few more next to the next dahlia along. I scissored them in half and learnt my lesson. That dahlia which was left with denuded stems made a comeback and it's buds are about to open 6 weeks late. I couldn't believe it and I'm happy I left it there as I figured I'll use its tubers next year.

Hi Sarah, I have just taken over the chores needing done in our gardens due to my wife's illness! I see my neighbours gardens full of these glorious colourful flowers which I would like to grow and show in my gardens! When is the best time to plant Dahlias seeds and holy hock seeds? I live in Scotland, so the temperature will differ from down south! Many thanks!

I love your dahlias they’re so beautiful, I’m speechless 😶. I grow dahlias in pots. I live in California. Can I put more than one tuber in a large pot? I plan to leave my dahlias outside this winter. We don’t get snow and not much rain. When you apply mulch for the winter what kind do you use? Do your dahlias get rain on them in the winter? Thank you and God bless you

@alisonburgess345 Год назад

Great advice re digging them up - DONT! I've really damaged mine (even though I was extremely careful and stored them by the book) and will never lift them again. Yep, just cover them with compost - they can take a lot more cold than we think.

@Tampo-tiger 5 месяцев назад

Do any of you more experienced plants people have any idea what the plant is 26 seconds in? It looks like some sort of desert plant, a Euphorbia of some sort? I really would love a few of those for my sub-tropical Hampshire garden.

@garyraab9132 Год назад

Snow did in the dahlias, the tubers are now safely in storage…October!!! All were potted, and I lugged a few of the smaller pots inside. Question What will the effect be of growing the dahlia indoor until spring?

@lbmitchell1777 4 месяца назад

We planted just one city light lavender pink dahlia 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 of 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

@lauremacca4821 2 года назад

Very nice thank you. So if you treat them as perrenials, how cold does is need to get to kill them ? I live at the altitude of 750 m and it gets minus 10 , just 2-3 days a year, but most of the Winter it is less cold. So with a goog lyer of mulch, plus branches, leaves, etc...they will come back the fallowing year ? I will try, thank you.

@sardiniangirl1866 2 года назад

I have planted dahlias very small plants at the moment they have buds .. should i remove the flower buds until the plants are taller..there that small at the moment they don't need staking.. should I remove flwer buds.. ?? Australia.

frost and freezing temperatures will kill them except in winter when they are dormant and under deep mulch.
