- Trials Manager Lindsay shows how to easily start dahlias from seed by either sowing seeds directly into the garden (mild climates) or starting seeds early indoors for later garden transplant (cold winter climates). She shows you exactly how to use both methods and then how to prepare your planting bed and care for young dahlias in the garden.
I'm growing dahlias from seed for the first time. They are starting to get their first true leaves, and I needed more guidance. This video was perfect, and I loved seeing all the finished steps. Thanks!
Very nice beautiful....this is the best of what the Internet was meant to be
So nice to see Renee sponsored videos! I’m a Santa Cruz mountain native and love showing support for such a wonderful local company! Keep these videos coming. I’d love as much content as you have time and desire to make! Please show us around the Felton test garden. My secret desire is to volunteer helping at the garden, I need visuals for my plant nerd fantasy. 😂❤❤❤
We get a lot of requests for a trial garden tour video. Thanks for the reminder!
love he fact that you actually show us the finish product , great job!
Just found you. Thank you for sharing your method of growing Dahlias from seed! It was very helpful; and the fact that you went from start to finish was really helpful. They're so beautiful! I planted my seeds indoors and for some reason they didn't germinate. Trying again next week.
Came to say that, I also just found her channel! ❤
@@copicgirl8057 some other ones to follow is Sarah from Bloom and Gray; she does amazing arrangements. Different from anyone here in the states. Also Nicole from Flower Hill Farm. If you like big personalities; she's the one to see :)
Excellent video!
Just sowed 100 in seed trays. Fingers crossed 😂
I understand the importance of thinning. It just kills me, though. 😂 I always have to find a new spot to plant the ones I so ruthlessly ripped out. 😬😬😬
Very helpful video! Thank you for showing the different stages and how to grow from seed. It makes it soo attainable asa beginner. 🙂
Love the video. Great tip with the baskets!
This was so helpful. I love how you explain and demonstrate. Thank you!
The strawberry baskets are a great idea. I'll have to try that. Thank you.
Very nice video. Easy to understand, and thorough.
nice practical and simple methods, great video, explained well, I look forward to growing my dahlias here in north queensland, australia, kev
I am so incredibly inspired. You are such a great teacher. I have learned so much!!
thank you, this is what i needed. I miss gardening with my mom !!
I love growing dahlias from seed too 🌸🌷🌺this year I grew probably like 30 plants next year I will definitely grow even more 😊
Just ordered both of these dalyas seed packets and both of the strawberry seeds that you have this morning thank you
That was very helpful ❤ thank you ❤
Love the idea of the baskets. Planted sunflowers and rabbits eat all the tops … done
Thanks for the video! It's very informative👍
Great info, thanks.
Thank you Mrs. Collected my first ever Dahliaseeds this autumn and was wondering, if I could sow them next spring......
Thank you
Great idea with the strawberry baskets I lose a lot of seedlings to Robbins and rabbits
excellent videos, where do you get your seeds, all the seeds I gotten dont germinate??
Thanks! This will be my first experience with Dahlias. The pkg says Unwin Dwarf and there’s a Rainbow Mix, but the directions say to plant at only 1/4” deep. I suppose 1/2” and 1/4” aren’t that much different and it is a bit if a guess anyway when plunging my finger into the soil?
I'm new here and I want to plant some Dhalias, I am from Florida, do you think the weather is nice ? I was thinking to let them grown in pots in my balcony, it has a lot of sun.
Thank you for the video, is so informative. My seeds dahlias don’t like nothing like yours. I love I. CA zone 9b. I stated them about a month ago, the sprouting, but they don’t look like yours. I might be thinking the seeds are from other plant.
Would like to have some of those little baskets, where to find them? I have a problem with snails eating them very early mornings, that would help to keep them out... your little doggie is so cute following you around.
Will these grow in zone 9a Houston, Texas?
How long from seed to planting in the ground? I started about 15 seeds earlier this month and I only have one that germinated. First true leaf is making an appearance. Dump the others and start over?
May I ask what zone are you growing in? Thank you.😊
So helpful and exactly what I needed as a first time Dahlia grower!! Thanks so much 🫶🏾
After the plant matures does it create tubers or is this a different species of Dahlia?
If i started my seeds late , can i skip the larger pot and put them into the garden once they’ve sprouted?
Like like❤
how long between the plantings? is it 6 weeks for each time? So it takes 3 months to get into the ground?
Subscribed. Excellent video and editing. What are the benefits from growing from seeds vs tubers? Aside from the amount of seeds
It's more cost effective to buy packs of seeds as opposed to tubers.
For me personally, I harvest the seeds from dahlias I've previously grown and then resow them the following year and its always a surprise as to what the flowers will turn out like, which is good thing in my eyes.
If however you want a particular type of dahlia and a good chance of success then buying tubers would be best option.
I bought a packet of mixed Dahlias seeds about 8 years ago. Haven't bought any since and every year I sow more.
I never lift my tubers come winter and so a lot die off and never return. I think however if I get some this year I really like I will try storing the tubers over winter. Sorry for long comment. 😂 hope that helps!
Did you pinch the seedlings at any point before they went to the garden?
Great video. Do you pinch your baby dahlias and when.
@terributler215
Usually around 12-15 in
Which seed company was that
how tall do the Dahlias get that you directly sowed?
0:24 my dahlia is not growing as much as others I have in another garden
how long from seed to first bloom?
When is the best time to start dahlia seeds?
How long do they take to have bulbs and flower
Three months before they bloom.
Hi Renee, where do you recommend buying dahlia seeds ? Thanks
I bought my seeds from BOTANICAL INTERESTS
My dahlias die once I repotted . Not sure why?
What zone are you?
Wow those look just like zinnia seeds 😮
also is it true when dahlias are grown from seed that you never know what your going to get?
That’s true! You basically will create a totally unique flower!
Why would you not just plant up the ones you pulled up??? Seems such a waste. I think I could never do that! Poor little plant baby, it wasn’t the biggest so it didn’t deserve to live! 😪
This is a common practice for all plants growing from seed. Growing multiple seeds insures you have a higher probability that one will grow. So, essentially thinning out is not a waste, it’s an assurance of a higher percentage or closer to 100% success that one will survive and be stronger.
Weaker seedlings produce weaker plants so its better to leave the stronger ones to produce genetically hardier/more vigorous plants
Lol
🥴
You can plant them up, no problem. I plant up all of my seedlings, unless it's obvious they have issues. But I try not to oversow that much either.
