Walmart Dahlia Haul 2022, And Potting Up A Bare Root Peony!

In a recent trip to Walmart, I noticed they had all of their summer bulbs and tubers out in my zone 6. I decided to pick up a couple to try again this summer. In this video, I share the varieties I picked up, and some clips of footage from the selections at my local store. I also picked up a bare root Peony, and show you how I pot them up. So excited to begin seeing signs of Spring and Summer at the stores again. Soon the nurseries will begin getting stock! I can't wait for gardening season 2022! If you enjoyed this video, please let me know by hitting the like button. I thank you much, Steph

Can’t wait to play with my peonies tomorrow. They are my absolute favorite but I’ve never planted bare root prior to the last frost indoors. I appreciate your tutorial, Steph!!!🌸🌼🪴

[@TheThriftedPlanter]

I'm the same! I had a hard time cutting my blooms at first. Great haul!

[@HookedandRooted]

Right??! Why is it so hard??! Glad I'm finally getting better. The look on people's faces when we gift them a bouquet is worth it 💚

[@ambersimpson75]

Wow thank you just in time! I haven't been to Walmart in forever, and I plan to go this weekend specifically to look at bulbs. This is the first year I ever really appreciated bulbs. 💐💜💐💚💐💕

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! I hope you find some beauties! 💕

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Gorgeous collection Steph 💕my favourite colour to put into my garden 🌸🦋🌸

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jasmine! They are such beautiful colors aren't they?!

[@kathybrown8497]

Priced very reasonably at Walmart. I agree with u on making sure that u r getting a viable root, tuber, etc. That is why u should get them early and potting them up will also give u an early start.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Kathy! Thanks for watching 🌱

[@DanikaBasista]

The tip of putting your flower garden out of sight of your house so that it encourages you to cut more is sooooo true

[@learnandplaywithmsj3359]

Yessssss!!!!! Following your lead when I shop for my garden in a few weeks!!!! Such great tips!

[@HookedandRooted]

Thanks for following Jenna 🌱💚

[@backyardgardenhighlights]

Great start for summer and spring bloom🤩💢👍! I couldn't resist buying them and I have also just got few bareroots and bulbs. 😁

[@HookedandRooted]

Nice!! It's such a great price if you don't want to spend alot on annuals. Hope yours do well for you 🌱

[@privateperson5769]

I love the look of Creme de Cassis ..want it ..the blooms don't seem to be very big - the ones I have seen online, but the colour looks gorgeous.

[@HookedandRooted]

The creme de cassis is beautiful! I love how there is 2 tone coloring to the petals, dark on one side, and light on the other. I also enjoy the smaller size which makes it easier to use in floral arrangements.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

These are gorgeous Steph! I’m soooo tempted to drive to Walmart but I’m holding myself back! I’ve already bought so many! Last year I had a hard time cutting the blooms off my dahlias too! OMG what a fantastic tip about the weight of the package! You are so smart! 💗

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Janey! Thanks so much, yes it works great for checking for "healthy" tubers. Let's cut lots of blooms this year ok? ✂️ 💐

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Hi Steph, I have the Sorbet peony growing in my backyard and it is gorgeous! It's been there for more than 10 years and I love it. This coming fall, I need to divide and transplant some of those peony roots to other areas of my landscape. Today 3-2-2022 I recognized your beautiful property on Garden Answer's front yard videos. Congratulations on being chosen!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there!! Thanks for stopping by. I'm so excited about the Sorbet Peony. Is it the one pictured on your profile photo 📸? Yes I was featured today, thank you so much!! I was so excited 😊 💚

[@greenthumbelina7331]

@@HookedandRooted Yes, that is a picture of it growing in my backyard. I don't know if you can zoom in on that photo or not, but there is a tiny ant on that bloom.

[@IMLovelydove23]

Wow. Nice selection. I got the caladium multi pack of 5. I also just got that same Peony as well. It will be my 1st time groing peony. I hope it does well.

[@HookedandRooted]

The caladiums were beautiful also. I'm still tempted to grab a pack if they are available the next time I head in there. Good luck with the Peony 🌱

[@PEONIAOBSESSION]

we have to wait 3 years to see flowers in the roots of peonies at walmart 😔😭 @Monrovia Peonies my Fav 🌸💕

[@HookedandRooted]

That is correct. The tradeoff is price. Pro: bare roots are very affordable Con: they take longer to bloom.

[@pegbrodeur7350]

Thanks for the tips! I bought some dahlia tubers at Lowe's and Walmart last weekend using your selection method. I had been hesitant to grow dahlias but this will be a budget-friendly way to experiment.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Peg! Oh yay! Glad it helped you pick some out. Good luck! And absolutely, it's such an affordable way to try some things.

[@JP-zn9dw]

Nice selections - one of my best dahlias was from home depot last year. I generally buy online, from costco, and walmart, HD, Lowes. One tip for growers is to buy as soon as they start selling them at the store and opening plastic and storing in a cool, dark location in your house. At the big box stores they can start to grow in the bags or start to mold. I pre-start my dahlias in pots and transplant out when it warms up. I think this gives me earlier blooms. They can get leggy but can be pinched. In zone 7 I start indoors and move to plastic greenhouse. I took a lot of potted dahlias to my son in zone 5 last summer and they did really well. Just found your channel so will go back and look at last year's dahlias. Thank you.

[@HookedandRooted]

Good to hear! I agree with keeping them in a cold dark spot. I have mine in paper grocery bags in the garage by the door where it stays around 50 degrees. I had tried presprouting them by potting them up first week of April in the past, but I decided it was extra work and now I just plant them around mothers day directly outdoor. I may get blooms a couple weeks later, but it's ok. Thanks for watching and for your comment

[@GardenHands]

Walmart for the win! I picked up a few bags of dahlias last year, in addition to dahlias from online sellers and far and away my favorite was Zingaro from Walmart. I failed to overwinter them, but was able to pick up a few bags yesterday. I'm pre-sprouting them and hope to take some cuttings as I have grand plants to create a hedge in my raised bed garden. Great tips on looking for sprouts. I'd also add when looking at the bags of dahlias, loose, wiggly tubers is not a great sign as they've broken off of the stem.

[@HookedandRooted]

I agree! The price is perfect for trying out dahlias. And even for more experienced growers. We could all use more budget friendly options these days. I've grown zingaro from Walmart also! In 2019, its in my other Walmart dahlia vid that I lined above. It was a beauty! Cuttings sound fun! I'm hoping to try from cuttings and from seed at some point also. I'll check out your channel! I agree about the loose wiggly bits, avoid those.

[@clivesconundrumgarden]

Awesome Steph !! Tons of color you have there !! Your garden is going to look amazing soon !! Hope you guys are having a great weekend!! Cheers Jason and Colleen 🌱🌷🏵

[@BrittanyS143]

I grew most of thos! I thought they were gonna not grow as to how dry they were but they all grew so healthy and so many!! Can't judge a book by its cover lol. The huge yellow ones were bigger than my hand and almost bigger than my dinner plate!! There was one that did not bloom like the picture and it was actually prettier than the picture on the package!!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Brittany! That's great!! Such a great surprise when they look even prettier than the pictures!

I just planted my peonies incorrectly.. project this weekend. Thanks for helpful information

[@coloradotulips]

Great reminder that Walmart has really reasonable and beautiful options. I have bought gladiolus at Walmart and run into more thrips infestations. From here on out, I’ll be dipping everything into a bit of bleach or whatever other disinfectants I can find that are safe for that bulb/corm type.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hello! They really do. Its great to have options for lower priced plants. Especially when many families have limited budgets for extras like gardening. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much!! 💓 glad your learning from them. That's my intention to teach some things I've learned, and to have a way of documenting my gardens changes 💚

[@gardeningmadeeasywiththeol3945]

Wow, love the Dahlias you have bought, and they will make a lovely display in your garden. As you probably know, we bought a lot of Dahlias recently for our new Summer Bulbs Flower Bed. As you say, the more you cut them the more they grow. We also have a lot of Peony plants in our garden - they look good in late Spring & early Summer here in The UK. Very Best wishes, Paul.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Paul! Thank you! I can't wait to see them in bloom. Winter is much too long! Spring in 16 days!! I look forward to seeing your dahlias 🌱

Walmart has a very good selection this year!!!

[@HookedandRooted]

It sure did! I was both surprised and impressed by it! Thanks for your comment 😊

[@Weeks25]

I know exactly what you mean about cutting them. I feel better about it when I have plenty but if theirs only one flower on a plant I won’t want to cut it. That’s a good idea about the weight of the package, I never thought about that. I always look in the bag as best I can an I try to go with the ones I can see live roots an shoots on them. Becareful with the crown gall. I found the tubers I got from Walmart last year had about 35% crown gall problem. I have the lavender perfection that I got last year from walmart. It was the last dahlia plant of mine to bloom which was pretty lately.. like a good 2 months after the rest started. It was the healthiest looking plant though. The blooms got huge like a true dinner plate. Most of my other Walmart dahlias didn’t end up being dinner plates but I still love them!

[@HookedandRooted]

Great tip to be aware of crown gall! I'll be on the lookout for that. Oh I'm excited about the lavender perfection! Thanks for watching! 🌱

[@Itsalwayssomethingaroundhere]

Hi! Right?!! I never used tp cut them before. Seemed counterintuitive. But the opposite happened. The more I cut, the more blooms I got. Give it a try!

What a funky pronounce on the word peony. Two-Vowels Together: When two vowels are next to each other, the first vowel is usually long (the sound is the same as the sound of the letter) and the second vowel is silent.
