I grew my first dahlia last year and now I'm hooked. I've got two seedlings in starter trays now hoping for more. I saved them from mine and like you said it feels like Christmas I can't wait to see what I get. I'll have to love them they'll be my first.
Would you PLEASE consider Doing a video of just what u feed / use for soil and compost? It is SO RARE to find a great video like yours from our area! Thanks from Georgian Bay!! Love the descriptions of why you consider some blooms and not others, so educational.
That 10 foot tall one is absolutely stunning. Nice color and obviously nice, thick stems. Crazy how it got that tall. I thought only Sunflowers and Sunchokes got over 10 feet.

I live in Ontario, Canada (the Niagara Region). I was wondering if Kelvin Floodlight Dahlias are the type of perennial where I can just plant it & forget about it. I've been watching videos that talk about *removing the tubers*. I don't know what a tuber is, but I'm not planning on planting them in pots. I plan on planting them in the backyard. So, can I simply plant the bulbs,and let nature take it's course? Or are there any special maintenance requirements?
I live near Oshawa so feel I could grow some Dahlias, do you have any videos on how you do it all from spring right through to fall. I have watched British shows but of course their weather is not like ours. So this way I would know when to do what. Thanks
Hi Dorothy. Yes we can do a video like that. I would suggest you join us at the Canadian Chrysanthemum and Dahlia society. Membership is free this year. Just send an email to ccds.membership@gmail.com
Michael what zone are you in ....are you also in Ontario? On GEORGIAN bay the Japanese beetles just decimated my beautiful David Austin roses ...but strangely don’t touch my dahlias... I thought it was because dahlias aren’t exactly fragrant, you don’t find that they manage to get in with the bottoms of your shade cloth up off the ground? ....you have some wonderful plants -What Canadian exhibitions do you show your flowers at? I am zone 4B and would need a greenhouse to grow flowers the size of yours ! ...our season is so short. Thnx so much giving the names, your video is much appreciated!
Hi again. I suggest you join us at the Canadian Chrysanthemum and Dahlia society. Membership is free this year and we can answer all the questions you have above. ccds.membership@gmail.com to get added to our membership.
Hello Michaels greetings from NI when you say a good feed of pot ash what would I be looking to buy ,at the min I have a lot of buds but the stems are short and not strong. Also I hear the NI accent there where do you hail from ,lovely plants by the way.Ta
Hi there. This is Lori, owner of this channel. You’re looking for fertilizer with a higher middle number. Tomato fertilizer is a good example of what you could be applying to strengthen the stems. I also make comfrey tea (think I have a video on my Facebook page on how this is done) which is high in phosphate as well.
I have around 100 Dahlia's. Do you ever have problems with the foliage dying from the base leaves and gradually continue upward? I constantly remove them but by the end of summer they are pretty stalk like at the base to maybe the middle. Is this normal?
Oh i have this problem too! I was really hoping he answered you. Commenting so hopefully he sees your question now. This was such an educational video!
@@ThatBrickChic I started to get it this year in July/Aug again but I think it is overwatering. I stopped watering around Sept and they never looked as good as they do now.
Side note on this even though it's way late, I found it happened to me with too small of a pot plus lack of consistent watering, either too wet or too dry. Like us, plants get stressed and that's all it is. Keep em fed and watered, you'll have some happy dahlias
It’s not necessarily about the fertilizer. First you need to get a cultivar that produces big flowers. Not all dahlias will do that. Second you need to only let 3 blooms grow on the plants. All other branches are removed.
Yes, the dahlias in Michael’s garden were quite tall but if grown in full sun, they wouldn’t be that tall. The screen Michael grows under shades the plants a little.
@@singingmeadowsfarm Thanks, I was wondering if I have a chance of growing dahlias like he does. I am in NS so it is close. I will give it a shot and see how I do.
No August is not too late to perform your dahlia crosses. Note that the seed pods will require several weeks to mature. I also have cut the pods with several inches on stem, put in water and allowed to mature inside. Sometimes this will work.
Hi Chuck. It means that when we take the top of the plant off or stop it to get the side shoots to start growing, we only allow 5 or 6 branches to grow. We will only allow one bloom on each of these branches. This is how we get the best size blooms. Note that this is how we grow we show only. In the garden, you're not as worried about size.
Цветок называется спартакус елоу. Также есть спартакус оранж, спартакус боухумиан. Заказывают в интернет магазине. Но сейчас , наверное, поздно. Эти цветы раскупают заранее.но можно попробовать.
As soon as I saw the pic I was like I need those in my back yard lol. Those with giant sunflowers omg.

Good luck Caleb. I'm sure they'll be beautiful.
@@singingmeadowsfarm Thank you I got so excited I went out and bought a whole pack of seeds.

Hello. Yes we will consider doing a video on feeding your plants. Thanks for the suggestion.

Lovely! Would you show us how to trim a dahila?
Hi Sarah. Yes, we can do that.

Where do you get the seeds from because they are impossible to find at Home Depot
My dalia plants growing taller but stems r leaning .should I need to gv support or cut of taller stems..pls reply
Sorry for the late reply. You should support the stems. Your plant is probably a naturally tall cultivar.
I have around 100 Dahlia's. Do you ever have problems with the foliage dying from the base leaves and gradually continue upward? I constantly remove them but by the end of summer they are pretty stalk like at the base to maybe the middle. Is this normal?

@@Industen - oh interesting. I am in Edmonton and we are usually so dry mid-August into fall. I probably am over watering too. Thanks for the info!

How did you get such a huge size of dhalias ? Plz share about the fertilizer you apply.,
It’s not necessarily about the fertilizer. First you need to get a cultivar that produces big flowers. Not all dahlias will do that. Second you need to only let 3 blooms grow on the plants. All other branches are removed.
I wish I had some but I am growing them from seed so they probably won't bloom this year.
I think you'll find that your seedlings bloomed in their first year.
Is the sun's rays harmful to the plant?
Why the cover?
Is it possible to root the branch with water?
The cover helps to keep the colour on the blooms. In the hot sun, they fade. Dahlia cuttings root very easily in potting soil.
They are great but too tall developers dwarf variety ? when do you sell the tubes.
Yes, the dahlias in Michael’s garden were quite tall but if grown in full sun, they wouldn’t be that tall. The screen Michael grows under shades the plants a little.
What is your location in Canada. You have beautiful dahlias. I am going to try a lot more this year. Hope to do as well as you are.
Michael is located near the great Toronto area in Ontario.
@@singingmeadowsfarm Does he have a instagram? Beautiful garden!
@@singingmeadowsfarm Thanks, I was wondering if I have a chance of growing dahlias like he does. I am in NS so it is close. I will give it a shot and see how I do.
@@heirloomheather i am not sue whether he is in Instagram,but he is on facebook & this his page .facebook.com/Dahlias-by-Michael-424401614396798
is it too late is auguest to cross for seeds this is my first full year of growing.
No August is not too late to perform your dahlia crosses. Note that the seed pods will require several weeks to mature. I also have cut the pods with several inches on stem, put in water and allowed to mature inside. Sometimes this will work.
Why do you cover the plants with shade? Prevent from sun or from frost ?
He mentioned to protect from japanese beetles
In the video it’s covered more for insect control and a little to protect from the sun.
How can l get the tubor or seed of the dahlia that appears on 22nd second. Please help me
If you're in Canada. Michael sells tubers. See Dahlias by Michael on Facebook
What do you mean when you say 5 up or 6 up
Hi Chuck. It means that when we take the top of the plant off or stop it to get the side shoots to start growing, we only allow 5 or 6 branches to grow. We will only allow one bloom on each of these branches. This is how we get the best size blooms. Note that this is how we grow we show only. In the garden, you're not as worried about size.
What's the name of the tall yellow one? Thanks
That’s Mary Margaret Rowe.
Now r u a northern ireland man
