Dahlia Tour! How did my Walmart, Lowes & Home Depot Dahlias Compare to the Packaging Photo? 2022

[@jazzyg530]

When I win the lottery the first thing im buying are Dahlia bulbs 😊. My favorite flower. Your garden is beautiful!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

My Dad always grew dahlias. I love how beautiful they are. Yours are gorgeous. The deer definitely think you have a salad bar for them! Cheers Steph!!

[@sarahmarti141]

Just fyi, You put the terra-cotta pots on your stakes so that when you cover your bed with protection netting, the stakes don’t go through the netting.

[@HookedandRooted]

Right that is another reason people use them. Thanks.

So many beautiful dahlias Steph! Crème de Cassis was also one of my favorites this year. I grew some ball dahlias for the first time this year and I really end up loving them!

Beautiful dahlias! 3rd year growing them. Maarn and Daisy Duke are very prolific. Great success with Creme de Cognac a cousin to Creme de Cassie. Another single dahlia very prolific with dark foliage is HS Flame.

[@BlairBurnett1]

Wish I watched this a few weeks ago! I already had all my bulbs I wanted and then I bought two blue boy bulbs from Walmart because I couldn’t get over the lavender color 😂 fingers crossed it turns out but won’t hold my breath! Glad I found you this morning. And we’re in the same zone!

Hi Robyn! Took me a couple of years, but so far so good. My least favorite part is digging them up at the end of the season, and storing them for winter lol

[@cindyhewatt3406]

Your dahlia garden is absolutely gorgeous, I enjoyed watching it ❤

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Cindy! 🥰

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Guess I’ll have to think about deer proofing my dahlias next year. Another person did comment that Monty Don uses those terra cotta pots as toppers on stakes to keep the netting from falling on what’s below. Worth a watch.

[@tinabambrough25]

I am from Wisconsin and had to dig up all my dahlias last weekend. So sad. But now I can enjoy yours. Thank you for sharing

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Amazing Dahlias!! You have some of my favs that I have as well. Tie between penhill watermelon & labyrinth but penhill lasts over a week in a vase so edges out. RIP City is outstanding you should try it for deep dark color, Linda's baby is great...I wasn't able to get Cafe but will next season and now wrote down a couple of yours I want to try. When will you be lifting the tubers? I'm planning on next weekend. Anyway as usual thanks for sharing your gorgeous flowers with us😊

Bought a bunch of them in Lowes and they were gorgeous. I have a few of the yellow dahlias and they were stunners. We’ll see how they do next year, but would buy them again in a shot. Also have one called Explosion, an orange and yellow beauty, not bought at Lowe’s, ordered on line, that is about five feet tall, and magnificent.

[@matheya]

Wow, I love your Creme de Cassis ! I bought one - I hope it blooms like yours ! I didn't know it was shorter than the others which is even more amazing ! These things are tall !! :)))

[@lbmitchell1777]

We planted just one city light lavender pink dahlia from a nursery pot 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 or 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

[@kornelia8627]

Love to see your Dahlias. I planted my first 12 this year 😂 Oh ..maybe 16 ..😂😂 they are so beautiful! Have seen some first sprouts yet!

Hi Ben! Oh they are quick lol. They wont let me get too close. They take off and they are quick! I will try sometime. My dog usually lets me know they're around. Thanks for watching!

[@aalejardin]

When did you plant your tubers? I am also in 6b (lower Hudson Valley). We just missed a frost last week but now the temps have warmed so I hope we have a bit of a reprieve. I have deer but I think the groundhogs were responsible for mowing down one of my dahlia borders. I used wire cages to protect the others and will provide more protection next year. It's always something.... Thanks for the video.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi, I planted them directly into the soil around mothers day.

[@dorisrorick2324]

Lovely!

[@ratherbwithhorses]

The deer always left my dahlias alone and i could plant them anywhere. Now the rabbits and deer and even groundhogs want them

[@CountOfMontyCrypto]

9:10 Dahlia Blue Boy, if you look at the card, they have adjusted the contrast to make it look blue. Always look at the color of the leaves to check if the color is fake. On the card, they are lime green.

[@Ephesians--ih5fl]

Hi. What do you feed your dahlia with? They are beautiful!

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much! Absolutely nothing. I add some bone meal to the planting hole and that's it!

[@thepurplegardener4856]

Where do you purchase your dahlias? So gorgeous!

[@mercury_rising]

She mentions it throughout the video 😂

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there, in different places. I don't have preference. Some come from online, some from box stores, and even some that friends have shared with me.

[@hitchyourwagon4720]

Noticed several varieties displayed weak stems and necks causing the flower heads to droop down. Do you think that was due to growing conditions or varietal genetics? If you are growing for cut flowers, this might be an important consideration.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there, My vegetable garden where I have them planted, has been losing sunlight over the last few years due to some growing trees casting more shade. I do believe that its possible that they aren't getting as much sun as they should be. Also, we had a very hot dry summer, and they could have used more water. I just grow them for myself, and gift some flowers as bouquets. I agree, it could be an important consideration if I was selling them. Thank you.

[@amyjones2490]

Where did you purchase your dahlias? So pretty.

Hello! The terracotta pots are decorative, but also, can be used when gardeners drape insect netting over the plants, it helps the netting or fabric not rip on the stakes. You would hang the fabric over the pots.
