A Walk Through The First Year Dahlia Seedling Patch | Dahlias Grown From Seed

[@ChristineMorgan-h5l]

Just beautiful! This is my first year with a few dahlia plants, as I do not have much room. I hope they will turn out; not blooming yet 😊

[@tammyjones949]

Absolutely Beautiful! Thank you for sharing as I just winter sowed some seeds and am hopeful

[@MyPlantWorld]

very healthy plants

[@lindapeterson2684]

I love your content information, I haven’t found another flower farmer who is so precise in descriptions. thank you…A suggestion, your mike is distorted with the wind and viewers can’t hear your thoughtful information. Perhaps…voice overs…or a better wind microphone setup…thanks🌸

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

Hi Linda, I did make a note in the description about the wind. This was filmed on my phone. Since these are free videos, I have a limited budget, but hopefully with time I'll be able to upgrade my microphone to improve sound quality. We get tons of wind here.

Thank you!! This video is exactly what I've been looking for, for a while. So informative and answers a lot of my questions about dahlia breedig. Love to hear your criteria and what you are looking for. As well as seeing many seedling results from different seed parents. Now im eager to try my hand at dahlia breeding my self!

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful! It's really fun to grow dahlias from seed!

[@silviaantunes100]

It's amazing! Thank You❤

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

I'm glad you like it

[@BrigitteMusic]

Very informative to someone like me. I was curious how to seed. and name my own flower. Now I know what to look for.

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

I'm so glad you found this helpful!

[@harbirsinghmalhi8021]

Very nice 👌 work hard

[@moodieslog]

Gorgeous varieties. For us not growing for bouquets, they're all keepers, especially for seedlings. I hope you are selling those tubers you won't keep. Among my roses, all of them look fantastic

[@MrWolfheart111]

Thank you, I found a Dahlia in a nursery called "City Lights", if you dont know about it check it out. The leaves are almost black, pretty cool. Bless.

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

Thank you for a nice video! Here in Sweden it´s very difficult to find good white/blush ball dahlias that has strong stems. I hope for some good new ones in the future!

[@jomassey4207]

Fascinating about the chromosomes and how very much colours can change during pollination. So my ceme de cassis "seeds" I collected might not look anything like the parent "tuber" plant, but could be a nice surprise. I look forward to learning more.😊 Jo.

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

that is correct! They get 4 sets of chromosomes from each parent for a total of 8. You'll have to let me know what you end up with!

[@Meny1973]

Hi, love it. How do I place an order? I went to the website, I didn’t find any dahlias seeds or tubers

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

BTW, which seed parents do you use besides Sweet Nathalie?

[@tekoumajenny]

Thank you for sharing - I found this fascinating. Can I ask if the seeds were from open pollinated or hand pollinated flowers. I'm assuming hand pollinated since your were so particular about wanting to grow a blush variety?

[@life_with_ty12]

I have a question do you sell your Dahlia I am new to the channel

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

Yes, we sell our dahlias at thefloweringfarmhouse.com. We have not set a date yet for our 2024 sale.

[@conceptionpugay3849]

Do you sell seeds?

[@CountOfMontyCrypto]

19:35 Dahlia 'Shabby Chic'

[@kmm8742]

where did you buy Dahlia Tubers? TIA

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

These are all ones I've grown from seed as part of our dahlia breeding program. Hopefully we'll have some of these for sale in the future. We do sell our tubers in the spring at www.thefloweringfarmhouse.com

[@Tracymw99]

Man wish i could get the throw aways 😂

[@moodieslog]

Same here. I would pay for those that don't make the cut.

[@MrDahlia.]

I keep hearing that seedlings will cause single flowers. Is this true? I have about 100 seedlings going this year. Many from Cafe Au Lait and others from Swan Island Dahlia.

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

It depends on whether or not you had a bunch of open centered dahlias in your field

[@wynterstearns7424]

Do you ever sell dahlias seed? Also, you say that you plant your seed dahlias 9 inches apart. How many do you plant across the width of the row?

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

I do sell dahlia seeds in the winter! I will probably plant them a little further apart next year as they grew so large this year. I have 36 inch rows with 2 plants per row.

[@mygardeninbloom]

Do you sell your tubers yet? I really like some of your seedlings but I know it takes up to 5 years before they are ready for the market.

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

I hope to be selling some of my seedlings in two years. I have several 2nd year seedlings that made the cut to be grown again next year. Stay tuned!

[@songbirdsinging1878]

they're all gorgeous. it's a little sad to hear the criticism. i guess my needs are not as picky. i just want to sit in a chair and look at them. i don't cut them or sell them.

[@AM-kj1vg]

I do the same. I was surprised with critique. I liked them all. 😂

[@BrittanyS143]

So when you pull the petals out don't that take its seed out?? I have never hear of a buyer complain about a facing down bloom or bobbely! I can't imagine all that extra worry over your flowers your going through. You did a great job it shows but It works out with how they are when there cut for my end, it gives it character!!❤

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

I am pulling the back petals first. You need to pull these to encourage the petals to drop. This way they don't stay inside when the flower starts to close up. When that happens, it's harder for seed to form. Buyers don't usually complain unless they are using them for design work. I am breeding for dahlias that can meet the American Dahlia Society benchmarks ;)

[@eleanorgatewood4408]

The yellow/pink clock facing one is a keeper!!!!

[@mygardeninbloom]

I like the pink blush dahlia better than the white dahlia.

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

I really like the pink blush too!

[@sandyreid836]

The quality is terrible! Beautiful flowers but couldn’t watch because of the quality

[@TheFloweringFarmhouse]

Hi Sandy, I did put in the caption that we have a lot of wind here. Unfortunately I need to invest in a better mic, but these are free videos. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to upgrade the mic!
