United States
Приєднався 28 бер 2020
Swan Island Dahlias, in business for over 93 years, is the largest and leading dahlia grower in the United States. We are located in the town of Canby, in the rich soil of the Willamette Valley of Oregon. We hybridize our own new varieties, planting over 15,000 seedlings each year. From those original seedlings, it takes about 4 to 5 years to introduce a new seedling for sale. Each season we introduce anywhere from 5 to 15 new varieties that are featured in our catalog and at our farm. We grow over 370 varieties on almost 40 acres that are open to the public during the blooming season and host the largest dahlia festival in the United States featuring over 400 dahlia arrangements during the six-day festival. We are very proud of the farming tradition our family brings to the business we’ve owned and operated for three generations. We are dedicated to bringing the best and highest quality dahlias the world has to offer now and in future generations to come.

123👍Wow !! Great presentation, GOD BLESS YOU DEAR , HAVE A NICE TIME Amazing dear pretty sister, very beautiful , wonderful coverage , greetings from HONG KONG @richscenic
Love Outrageous. Do your tubers release into Australia?
How about Europe?
Good video. Good energy. Quick to the point and clearly understandable. Visual was good aa well. Kudos to you and the videographer. 😊
Incrediball looks like a red Diva! I love Diva😍😍
I'm looking forward to trying some of these exciting new varieties! In addition to beauty, Swan Island dahlia introductions have the best names!
Great work ❤
Thank you so much for your video! Question: I am dividing my tubers after summer and it looks like I sliced through the bump where the eye lives, maybe damaging the eye. Is it still good to store? Or did I ruin it?
Direct sunlight and how often do you water
Can you clarify when tubers cannot be dug, divided, and then immediately replanted? I am in central Florida and planned to dig them up in February to divide and replant.
Nvm. I rewatched the first 5 minutes and got my answer 😂
The dirt in my area is red clay. Should I still use this in my pot mix?
Great video. Very informative, thank you! I have a few questions: 1. You said the tubers that you take the cuttings from are discarded. Would they not be able to grow a proper plant after you take the 10 cuttings? Would cuttings past around 10 not provide viable plants? 2. You mentioned a few times that you don’t sell the cuttings but use them to build up stock. Would these cuttings not form a full plant with its own tubers? How would they help you build stock if these aren’t the plants you sell? 3. When pinching the tops of your “lanky” plants, would you not be able to use the pinched off stem to propagate into a new plant? Thanks again for this info. Will definitely be trying this myself!
Hi! Can you explain more why mushroom compost is not recommended? I have read a couple blog posts by a master gardener in central Florida where she said she grows in all mushroom compost + fertilizers.
❤😊❤
my daliah has very thick stems that have a lot of space between the leaves I would like to know where to cut these plants. Your video is amazing !!!
Amazing information!❤❤
Great information,however it would have been more user friendly if the taking was done by both of you.l meam Erick looks like he knows a thing or two about Dahlia, s...otherwise ,well done.😊
Thank you.
That was not 18 to 20!inches but more like 12!!!
Ahh but perhaps it was … hmm
Good info - could be presented in half the time 🎉
My dahlia started to bloom but then stalled and never fully opened. There are several buds that never opened. Any idea why they didn’t open?
So when you are doing this fertilizing, are you spraying?Just the bottom of the plant.Or are you spraying this fertilizer over the whole plant
maybe a silly question, but could a little piece of buddy tape, or saran grafting tape on top of the stem hole help with rain problem? We get daily rains for half a year, don't want to kill the precious flowers... thank you.
I'm getting ready to fertilize my dahlias in my raised 8x4 bed! Is the 1/2 cup sprinkled around the plant still appropriate for that bed size? Oh in the Dr Earth Flower Girl fertilizer? Thanks!
Will you replant the toppings?
Excellent video💚💚
Adorable!!!!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in my dahlia bed coaxing them on! 😍
Nobody tells the same things.... 20 videos, 20 ways to do.
companion planting not pesticides....
stop it! stop it now. killing the bees is not worth you making a living this way. get a conscious. I'm not buying any plants from you and I'm telling all my friends and they will tell their friends
Can't you just use Miracle Grow and dilute it 1/2 strength? Would that not work?
fabulous video.thanks
Excellent video. Well done!
I've seen 10 vidéos about that and nobody says the same thing . Not easy for an amateur.😁 But i'll try your way to do. Thank you.👍👍👍
Thank you
Love, love the tags. A good reason to buy new tubers from you! Thanks.
Thank you
I’m grateful for your videos. This video is so helpful. I dug my tubers last fall, it was so cold and my soil is clay. I didn’t divide or get all the soil off before storing them. They’re starting to sprout and I need to divide them. Some are big and full of tubers I wasn’t sure how to go about cutting. Thank you.
Great video!
Thank you. I have been seeing posts on waking them up and I have never done that. I thought maybe I should be to get an earlier start. I questioned the practice which brought me to you, I have been so successful with just keeping them waiting until the temperatures settle to plant them right in the ground.
Thank you. Swan island, how much of the fertilizer and how often do you fertilize your dahlia per 10,000 square feet?
hi, dear what kind of fertilizer do you used to feed your dahlias and how much per 10,000 square feet and how often?
Excellent video. Thank you from the U.K.
Others commented that it seemed like you were scolding. I happen to appreciate you being crystal clear. There is a lot of information out there and you earned my trust. I will do what you suggested. Yes, ma’am!
I have a quick question which I haven’t been able to find the answer anywhere. I grew all of my dahlia from individual seed this year. Ever seed grew and has formed their own plant. Now I have found that 3 of my plants have 2 very different colours growing on their actual plant. One in particular is a bright red dahlia but on the same plant I also have bright single petal yellows. Does this regularly happen??? Many Thanks Theresa Australia
You didn’t give chance at least this guy can say something . Next time don’t have people in videos if they don’t say anything you made him like a clown 🤡
Very helpful. Thanks.
Does it matter whether or not you keep them in a place that does or does not get light?
