From Slug Snack to Showstopper: Dahlia Update!

[@ilenehales7849]

Jowey Mireille and peaches are my favorite dahlias. I love them in bouquets 💐

I love your Sweet Nathalie, thanks for sharing, I'll be growing it next year! A top slug tip (which I got from Halls of Heddon) is to make "slug hotels" and then you can pick off the slugs easily. I use a plank of wood, or old roof tiles and the slugs love to hide under, I check and dispose of slugs on a daily basis! After a few weeks the slug population is all but gone. Jowey Winnie is a superb dahlia, I've grown 5 plants this year, long vase life and worth growing. Thanks for the video, very enjoyable.

I think I would maybe need a slug tower block this year!! I'm going to try again this year to source Jowey Winnie, it does look lovely

Ooo… that two tone Labyrinth is a bit ‘Granny’s knickers’ for me. 😄 Some of my dahlias are really late blooming this year. Still hoping they burst into life soon. Lovely tour, thank you!

Granny's knickers 😂 I'm hoping it dries nicely, otherwise I might donate it. I have to say it really is quite prolific, isn't that always the way!

I really like your Caitlin' Joy and Peaches. Perhaps your Café au Lait is one of the newer varieties that is more pink. Thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers.

The 'Cafe au lait' has opened a bit more and I think you may be right, it's the right size and shape but with a lot of pink, Quite nice actually!

Hi, I am a new subscriber. Thank you for your. fabulous video. I have added some more varieties to my wishlist now. May I ask how on earth does one dry dahlias please? Thank you. I have so many favourite dahlias, but I do love Mango Madness, French can-can, Richard's fortune, American dawn, Sweet Natalie, Otto's Thrill, Fairway Pilot and David Howard plus all the Bishop's children I have grown from seed. I think my absolute favourite could be Fairway Spur, I do love many of your dahlias and have added Sweet Natalie and American Dawn to my list on seeing yours.Happy gardening 🙂
