[@robertsmithshair4199]

I can confirm Verrones Obsisdian is a bumblebee favourite

[@KuntryFowle]

Hypnotica Icarus Dahlias are seriously one of the most captivating and favorites of mine. Truly Beautiful Yellow and Bright Red Buds.

[@clareklesel1978]

[@stephaniestatnick]

Your garden and wedding are both going to be so very pretty. 100K!!! Are you growing scabiosa? Fama white and black Knight would be pretty with your bouquet and table arrangements. Easy to grow from seed.

[@rachelboulton574]

Congratulations on 100k subscribers my Lovely 💜x

[@homegrowngarden]

Thank you so much!! I recorded this one before I reached it ❤

[@michelleh4588]

I'm getting married in September and growing a bunch of dahlias for it. Lots of oranges too! Good luck on your growing season!

[@herstrangekind]

Can’t wait to see your allotment right before the wedding, it will be chock full of gorgeous blooms! The Ludwig Helfert is such a perfect choice to go with the others, I think it will just glow. Congrats on 100k🎉

[@maryannodell7856]

So excited and happy for you! I will be growing dahlias this year. Thank you for your videos. Love from Colorado USA. ❤😊

[@BenniLkitchengarden]

Beautiful selection of Dahlias. I grew «Petra’s Wedding» last year. Beautiful, but quite much smaller than the picture in the catalog.

[@ViveClaire]

Congratulations on 100k! I’ve also ordered cornel bronze this year on the recommendation of Danielle of Northlawn flower farm. She grows here in the states for a flower stand and she’s said that it’s one of her best performing for vase life. I look forward to growing along!

[@kristinbrown2746]

Last year I planted dahlia tubers for the first time- maybe about 50 different varieties - I went overboard and 50% rotted. BUT I learned how surprised I was to love the cactus and the waterlily varieties the most in the vase :) Bridezilla was my favorite from Swan Island here in the US. It wasn't a heavy bloomer but it felt like a treat when another bloom appeared. What a gorgeous pallet you chose for your wedding. Best wishes for great growing season!

[@homegrowngarden]

Thank you so much. I’ll have to check out Bridezilla haha. Hope I won’t turn into one 👰🏻‍♀️ 🧟‍♀️

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

You are both tempting me to try a couple of dahlias this year…I’m a bit scared of them 😅

[@sanne8210]

beautiful!! this year i'll be growing my first dahlias... im excited 😊

[@homegrowngarden]

You’ll be hooked!

[@jaclynsalemwaxtel]

You are going to LOVE Cornel Bronze!! It is gorgeous and SO prolific.

[@calumanderson5617]

You've done it!!!l over 100k !! Congratulations you've done it!! 🥳🎊🎉🎈🥕🥦🥒🍅🌶️👍

[@homegrowngarden]

Thank you ☺️

[@debbiebolton2064]

Verrone's Obsidian is a beautiful dahlia. I grew it last year and it was amazing. The deep red/black colour is so different. Quite unusual.

[@gosskamperis2016]

My mother, (her name was Katrina) used to grow the most magnificent dahlias, in fact she had the most amazing flower borders; and dad used to grow the best veg. ever. You've just brought childhood memories flooding back.

[@jaymeelk9380]

If you know someone with a big fall hydrangea they are great to cut and do arbors or swags. I did my whole wedding from an abandoned run down buildings old outta control hydrangea bushes. Makes for a fun night out with the girls before the wedding too. Sneaky, drinky, buckets of hydrangea picking mischief.

[@SunshineGarden-9B]

I am one of those rare gardeners that do not really have passion for dahlia flowers. I think they are beautiful but I do not grow them in my garden. Possibly because I did not have good luck growing them when I lived in zone 4, now I'm in zone 6B but I feel like there are so many gorgeous flowers you can grow that naturalize and I just do not care to buy dahlia tubers. Beautiful choices for your garden thou, I bet they will be so pretty!!

[@chrismorrow1467]

When are you getting married? Your first video inspired me to grow my own too! Getting married the last weekend of September so have been worrying about making sure ive plenty of flowers available!

[@jenniferwisneski1195]

Congratulations on 100K 🎉❤😊

[@suetonkiss7925]

That's a beautiful selection you've chosen. It's going to look stunning. I accidentally grew verrones obsidion last year as the packet was labelled incorrectly, but I actually preferred it to my original choice, it's beautiful, it won't disappoint you. 😊

[@tarar6926]

I am excited to grow this one this year too!

[@jayneeburks8482]

So exciting Katrina. Thank you for sharing your joy and enthusiasm. I can’t wait to see your garden this summer😁

[@aname5267]

I grew sweet peas and made confetti for my brother’s wedding. I plucked all the petals and dried them in the microwave.

[@LifeonPigRow]

Love dahlias, we use farmer gracy too. Great supplier.

[@jennyjohnson9012]

A beautiful selection for your wedding Katrina. Cant wait to see them in flower!

[@marcusseidel6824]

Dahlias ( simple flowers ) have a lot of nectar ...and bees need them ...

[@dn744]

Wow, stunning 😍. Never seen that 1 before. Brown isn't 1 I have.

[@wildlifegardener-tracey6206]

How exciting. My daughter-in-law made her own bouquet and table arrangements. She had shop bought flowers, Aldi, due to budget, but it gave it a very special and personal touch. They were lovely. Your colour palettes for the flowers look beautiful it's going to be a very exciting year for you. Here's to a good growing season. Congratulations on 100k well done. 💐

[@stevendowden2579]

going ro look lovely

[@margaretalice6343]

Wonderful dahlia choices. It’s so exciting to grow your own flowers for your wedding. Looking forward to seeing the final bouquet and flower sprays and decorations for the day

[@lisagypsycarolissen7037]

Your wedding is going to be beautiful Katrina🦋

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Stunning collection 🍃🌺🍃

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good afternoon Katrina. So happy you've reached 100K+ subscribers. Those Dahila varieties look absolutely perfect. Congratulations on your wedding. 🌹🌹🌻🌻

[@johnsantangelo7773]

I have grown the single star style dahlias for years in red, yellow and pink. They are prolific bloomers and store well. The dark color on yours looks beautiful.

[@lindajones9191]

How lovely!!! Such beautiful choices. They'll certainly make your very special day even more special. Congratulations and very best wishes!!

[@scottrobinson7739]

Halls of heddon is a 102 year old dahlia farm in Northumberland they sell an excellent variety of show standard dahlias

[@chrisneppiras9408]

mint video, good luck with your growth for the wedding flowers. i have Dahlia pom pom from seed, they are very frail plants at the moment. i have also Jamaica and Sweetheart from tuber. going to try various cactus and mignon varieties, i am looking at lilies and calla also this year, as well as a few sunflower varieties that seem to be doing well..

[@marcusseidel6824]

Good taste. Nice varieties. I buy Dahlias from Fluweel ( translation : Velvet) in the Netherlands. Buy also in Germany ...and will sow mignon Dahlias these days. I love Dahlias ...so hard to choose. Dahlias in a vase don t last very long ( plus you need to refresh tge water dayly ...smelly) You have now already a lot of nice flowers ...fir your big day. But greenery ? Ornamental grasses ? ...also important... whish you all the best ...hopefully you will have an abundance of nice flowers.

[@homegrowngarden]

See my other videos in the series to answer your questions! kzbin.info/aero/PLFxxIccKv9YwU9QOm8MCMcCJrK_2PLpX_

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Exciting time ahead but you are belt-and-bracing it. I might try a dahlia this year then😅

[@DonMurrayYT]

Love both picking the dahlias and when they arrive. I use Farmer Gracy and Peter Nyssen too and Sarah Raven too. I have discovered Rose Cottage Plants though; A great range of dahlias, good prices and they’re about a 15 minute drive away and have an open day in the summer.

[@angietaylor5311]

A beautiful selection Katrina, so exciting ❤

[@persona_duo3930]

your wedding is going to be so beautiful 🥰🥰

[@homegrowngarden]

I hope so!

[@random2829]

Dahlias are some of my favorites! 😀❤

[@annmoy8932]

I'm so glad Eli from "In the Garden with Eli and Kate" recommended your channel. Thank you for your video. I've never grown dahlias before, but I think I will after watching this! Congratulations on your autumn wedding. I'll definitely by subscribing to your channel.

[@emilywathen4184]

Good luck with your wedding flowers!!! Hope you get tons of beautiful blooms 🥰

[@Peg06]

Thank you for including photos! I'm 100% with you on the dahlia pom-poms. The darker colors will be the perfect contrast to everything you've chosen. (I really want to use more exclamation marks!!!) You've done such a wonderful job of choosing your wedding dahlias! The spreadsheet you made is perfect as well.

[@angelapryke8020]

I'm a great fan of Farmer Gracy too, love the art work, always makes my day when they arrive. Wishing you all the best with your wedding flower growing, looking forward to seeing your final design.

[@christinamichael2043]

I love Dalia's So happy you are sharing yours ❤️Xx

[@jimhud134]

Perfectly timed video as I am going for a white theme, with pockets of colour in our garden this year.

[@homegrowngarden]

Sounds great!

[@gardenonthemoors]

Love it, I grow Cornel Brons and it's very reliable I'm sure it will do brilliantly for you ☺️ The white aster is stunning! Think that would be my favourite and will look great with the La Recoleta 💞

[@carmenbailey1560]

Congratulations on your 100k ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I personally give you a five star. Wishing you the best of luck with all your floral endeavours, look forward to seeing all your successes. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😂

[@4x4offroadanimals]

I love this stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@emptynestgardens9057]

They are all so beautiful and exactly the colour palette I'd expect you to choose. That Ludwig cactus is amazing colour and structure. I'm so excited for you, brings back happy memories of planning my own wedding many many years ago.

[@anaschilling2668]

Love your choice of colours !! Hope they all perform great for your special days🙏🌹

[@flowerpixel]

I love the bronze colors!! 🥰

[@wendybarry5563]

A lovely selection of dahlias. I also have a few dahlias from farmer gracey. I have grown my love for the last few years. Its a beautiful flower and for me has been a reliable and prolific one. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I look forward to watching the final results 😊

[@juliacolton1259]

I grew Verrone’s Obsidian for the first time last year. It’s a beauty, and it flowered prolifically, but I found it didn’t have particularly vase life. You have a lovely selection of colours.

[@itsmewende]

What a beautiful collection you've curated, love them all, I grew Verrone's Obsidian last summer, it is one of my new favorites. Look forward to seeing yours growing. I grew Avalanche dinner plate the last 2 yrs, love it too, I cut one at a time and let it float on a dinner plate.

[@privateperson5769]

Gorgeous choices. So cool MIL is a florist ! My friend told me both her daughters had fake flowers for wedding as fresh wedding bouquets way too expensive these days in my country - thats sad . I had beautiful fresh flowers for mine ...i loved them so much.

[@homegrowngarden]

It makes me sad when I see fake flowers at weddings too however I understand how expensive they can be and to some people, flowers just aren’t that important and the budget for them is better spent elsewhere. We each have our own priorities and budgets which makes all weddings so unique!

[@willowgrove631]

Many congratulations on reaching 100k subs! So thoroughly deserved 😊🌻

[@HanginOutWithStan]

Those will be beautiful Katrina. Still have freezing weather and snow here, not yet time to start gardening here lol.

[@rebeccaapthorpe6295]

Regarding your cafe au lait dahlia, your relative who is helping flower arrange will know this, but any flowers that are being stubborn you can pop some wire round the stem and through the flower base to help keep it in shape and the flower upright. My birth mother was a very talented florist. Any flowers you love you will be able to make it work. There’s plenty of tricks florists know about to get things into work such as using green thin tape over the top of vases in a grid like shape so that you can get flowers in exactly the right postion. Or making a bouquet but rather then using a vase to arrange, doing it free hand and tieing with string before potting it into water so that it has a “chocolate box effect”. It sounds like you know exactly what you want, but don’t rule anything out because you think it won’t stay in place. Your relative will be able to make it work for you 💐

[@puddinggeek4623]

A lovely selection of flowers, great colour choices. Have you ever grown dahlias for eating? I forget which varieties are supposed to have tasty tubers? Keep up the good work.

[@homegrowngarden]

I haven’t no 😊

[@sarahmunoz14]

Lovely choices. You got healthy looking clumps. I like growing the orangey, bronze colors too. I only grow ball and decorative now because they last longer in the vase. I have brown sugar, cornel bronze, Fernhill copper, totally tangerine, crème de cognac, holland festival, Beatrice, burlesca, and polka. 💐

[@homegrowngarden]

Ohh those sound gorgeous 🧡

[@gabriellawilkosz6112]

So looking forward to seeing the cut flower journey - i'm a florist and grow my own too! Just wondering if you're going to be growing the white varieties under cover or whether you're not that precious? Haha. So look forward to your videos, I've just got an allotment so watching all your content back to back - even though i've been following for years! Gorgeous selection and good luck!

[@homegrowngarden]

Heya, thanks for watching and re-watching! I don’t plan on growing the whites under cover? Should I be? 😅 I still want to use my tunnel for the tomatoes and chillies.

[@user-cn9qr7wv8v]

👍🏻👍🏾👍👍🏽👍🏿

[@laurelsayer7557]

Love your sheet of piccies and info. How did you create that ?(would love to produce one when selling young potted dahlias at a June village charity event).

[@homegrowngarden]

I used Microsoft word on my laptop to create a table and then you fill the boxes with the text and pictures 🙂

[@joselugo9973]

I enjoy your videos very much, but I am wondering just how big is an allotment?

[@homegrowngarden]

They vary but mine is about average. 25m x 15m

[@chriswatts3253]

I've grown Cafe au Lait before, but the blooms had really short stems, making it difficult to display in a vase. Anything I can do to help the blooms have longer stems?

[@marcusseidel6824]

Are you potting them( your splendid Dahlias,) up before to have them " in time ". Last year Dahlias were very late due to drought ...( keep that in mind)

[@homegrowngarden]

They’ll be on time I’m sure. It’s an autumn wedding. They will be potted in April and planted in June

[@marcusseidel6824]

@@homegrowngarden Last year Dahlias were standing still during Summer ...it was too hot and too dry. After oktober the full beauty appeared ( which was wonderfull ...but a little late....I couldnt plant the tulips in oktober due to the late Dahlia bloom.) I think you should have a few planted earlier ( to really make sure you will have them in time.) Just an advice.

[@carolinebarton6326]

Hi have you got your wedding dress yea

[@homegrowngarden]

Yes! I got in in early December with my mother and sister 🤍

[@marcusseidel6824]

have you tried sheep pellets as a good fertilizer ?

[@homegrowngarden]

No

[@seanH1768]

What are growing for wedding dinner ? Or are you cheating 😂 lol & getting in caterers

[@alanthecat59]

gg

[@emojs]

All the worst places to buy from the only place to buy is halls of heddon a specialty dahlia nursery and used by exhibition growers, also a Pom dahlia is only 55mm to 83 mm what your talking about are actually decoratives and there’s no such dahlia as dinner plate it’s a large or giant. If you actually want to learn the actual classifications look on the National dahlia society isn’t of using incorrect terms

[@aarthidding]

Okay I just ordered my dahlias, thanks for the tip! @FarmerGracy
