I love the name “Saving Grace”! I think God approves of that one! Love love your channel Danielle! I grew seed dahlias this year and didn’t think about saving those seeds but now I am! ❤
Thank you so much for showing the seeds from the Dahlia's! First time I'm saving them and this is so helpful! Love the name,"Saving Grace"! Have a great day!
I just got a surprise too this year with a reblooming iris, that I didn't know rebloomed when I bought it. Also thanks tremendously for turning me on to the book cool flowers!!! Got it from the library and am planning to buy my own copy, been experimenting with winter sowing, hardy annuals, etc. THIS BOOK IS INVALUABLE for this subject. Thanks again!!😀
GLAD I WATCHED I'M GOING TO SAVE MY DAHLIA SEEDS . YOUR GARDEN IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I'M SAD THIS TIME OF YEAR BUT, WATCHING VIDEO'S KEEPS ME GOING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING.
That is very complete information, thank you🙂🌺 I always dig up clumps of Snowdrops in the area where I live ( Holland) and set them in my garden.🌼 They always flower🙂
I’m so glad you mentioned that snowdrops often don’t bloom the first year. I planted them for the first time last year and was disappointed with only foliage.
This is a fantastic tips and trick video! I already have my flagging tape in my cart and writing the name on a paper plat is pure Genius. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love the nake "Saving Grace'' I had a lot of single dahlias this year from Seed as well. None that beautiful light pink, but I had one that was a pretty purplish pink with lighter tips, & one salmon-y pink one I really liked!
Thanks for all the autumn tips. I didn't know about cutting back peonies so that is very useful. I am going to do that right now! I live in England so,as you say, we can buy Snowdrops in 'the green '. I guess that means we don't have to wait the extra year to get flower like you sometimes have to do with the bulbs. 😊
Can’t wait to see the snow drops come up great place to put them thanks for sharing your seed col😊lection ideas ❤ Karen from Port Macquarie NSW Australia 🐳🌊🦇🐨🦘👒🧤💐💌
Oooh, good to know about the snow drops. I planted a whole bunch last year and remember thinking I wasn't very impressed the spring. Maybe I'm in for a great surprise in a few months!
I have loved the seed dahlias this year and will definitely be looking for different types for next year. I do mulch up my oak leaves but I have to pick up acorns before I cover the beds...some are actually starting to sprout. Love “saving Grace” dahlias! So good to know our God saves!
Ok wait what!!!! I have always thought that my mower doesn’t chop leaves small enough WHO KNOWS THIS !!! I feel so silly not to think of that lol THANK YOU !
I plant some snowdrops every year- they are so cheerful just when we need it in mid and late winter! I think mine have always bloomed after I plant them in the fall, but I have so many small bulbs tucked away in every corner that I might not have noticed if they didn’t bloom their first year!
Great tips on labeling the dahlias and how to save the seeds. I have received some seed company emails recently and it is very surprising to see the cost of some of the seed, so anytime you can save your own is even more important. Had a question, do the tuberous dahlias also produce seeds on their flower heads?
Danielle- I’m hoping you can help me w my snowdrops. I’m in central NJ / 7a. Every fall (for years) I plant these bulbs and get approximately 10% success. Very discouraging for a plant I love. I plant the bulb about 3” down. I think I’m doing the right thing. You are now famous for your soak the amaryllis bulb before planting technique. Do you think I should try soaking the bulb before planting this fall? Do you think I should dig up a small area to see if they are still there (I planted 50 this past fall) and viable? Any advice, I’d appreciate.
Hi Danielle, Love your videos and your channel! I have a quick question about digging dahlias. I’m in Michigan zone 6. I’m confused this year as we have had some light frost but nothing major. Some of my dahlias have turned about 70-80% brown but have a bit of green foliage in the lower parts and some have turned fully brown. This happened about a week ago. The weather has warmed up quite a bit and is going to remain so at least for the next week to 10 days. Should I dig up my brown and partially brown dahlias now or leave them for later?
Hi Danelle, I learn so much from you. I was looking for a way to contact you with some questions, but am not seeing any contact info other than the comments so… I would so appreciate (and maybe others would too) some information or clarification for when to order what. For example, you turned me onto lilies - but should I be ordering and planting them in the fall or the spring - or does it matter? I live in mountains of Colorado, 4B, and my lilies (first time I’ve tried them) bloomed SO late so the leaves never had a chance to turn brown before we got our first hard frost (and snow). Will the lilies come back next year as a result of that? Should I be ordering more now? The ground hasn’t frozen solid yet - but not far away - should I be planting lilies now? Another question - you got me so excited about amaryllis so I ordered some, and they arrived! I don’t want them all blooming at Christmas - so do I put them in the dark somewhere, or the fridge and ‘hold them’ so I can stagger their blooming? I heard on a podcast to plant them in a small pot and stick them somewhere cold and dark - so I shouldn’t just leave the bulb to sit until I’m ready, but plant it now? Our growing zones are so different, but I have applied so much that I’ve learned from you!
Hi Deborah! Thanks so much for writing me. Your lilies should be fine and will come back next year. Lilies can be planted in the fall or spring. I have always planted mine in very early spring. I order them in December from Longfield Gardens and they ship according to the zone where you live - so I would think yours would ship in April. The head writer at Longfield also lives in zone 4 and I know she plants lilies in the early spring also. I plant them immediately when they arrive. You may want to try Asiatic lilies - they bloom earlier than Orientals. I'm so glad you are trying Amaryllis! Do you know if they came from Holland or the Southern Hemisphere? Southern Hemisphere bulbs will bloom in about 6 weeks. They will be marked Brazil, South Africa, Peru, early blooming, or Christmas blooming. Bulbs that come from Holland take longer to bloom. I've had some take 12 weeks. So if you plant a Peru bulb and a Holland bulb on the same day they will bloom at different times. They bloom according to their country of origin. I have held bulbs until March in their brown paper bags in the basement and the addition of our home. They are very forgiving. Cool (not cold) and dry is best. They should not go into the refrigerator. If you have the choice, I would hold Holland bulbs instead of Southern Hemisphere bulbs. If you have an unheated basement or a room that stays colder that would be great. I don't pot them up if I want to hold them. I hope that helps!
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens Hugely helpful! Thank you. I think I have a mix of Amaryllis bulbs - from different parts of the world, so I’ll check on them. I also had a few last year that I have in storage now - put them there in September and hoping they’ll bloom again - all an experiment of sorts and I love the exploration and the learning. I tried all the different lily types this year so I could have them blooming throughout the season. I think the challenge this year was that we had weeks at a time this summer with really cool temperatures and everything in my garden was unseasonably late. Because I find you so inspiring I also tried Gladiolous this year - and ordered them from Longfield Gardens. I really enjoyed them - but now have another question for you about Gladiolous: for every corm I planted I didn’t end up with that many flowers- maybe only half? And, their foliage has not died back. I have some snow on the ground now and hoping it will melt off in the next day or two. Should I just dig them up then or should I treat them as annuals since the leaves never got a chance to dry back and feed the corm? Really appreciate your reply - thank you!
I have a question. I dug up my dahlia tubers and they all looked wonderful. After the frost and they died back I dug up the tubers and cut the dried foliage off. I then sprayed the dirt off and placed the tubers still intact on a rack and kept the room at 50°. Within 24 hours my tubers went from being firm to being spongy. Can you tell me is this normal and are they viable to plant in the ground next year? Love your channel thank you in advance.
Hi Danielle, love your channel. I have a question (that can be answered by anyone 😊) If all of my bulbs planted from last year are up already, what do you recommend? The daffodil foliage is up almost 6 inches. Do I just try and mulch as best as possible? Thanks in advance for the help!
Hi Jillian! As long as it's just foliage (not bloom stocks) above ground, they should be fine. Here's an article from Longfield Gardens about this - www.longfield-gardens.com/article/what-to-do-when-bulbs-come-up-too-early
Never mind--I found it online. Looks like it's weather-related, though I could be more careful about how much I water. Maybe drip irrigation would be best?
Your channel is a hidden treasure. Thanks for all you do.
Great tips! Now I have to plant tulip bulbs around my peonies, never thought to do that! The timing will be perfect! 🌷
I love the name “Saving Grace”! I think God approves of that one! Love love your channel Danielle! I grew seed dahlias this year and didn’t think about saving those seeds but now I am! ❤
This was fun and informative to watch.Always like learning new things about plants

Thanks for showing us the fall clean up. I especially liked seeing the tarnish bug and the info on peonies. I also cut back hostas and phlox.
GLAD I WATCHED I'M GOING TO SAVE MY DAHLIA SEEDS . YOUR GARDEN IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I'M SAD THIS TIME OF YEAR BUT, WATCHING VIDEO'S KEEPS ME GOING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING.
That is very complete information, thank you🙂🌺
I always dig up clumps of Snowdrops in the area where I live ( Holland) and set them in my garden.🌼 They always flower🙂
would enjoy a tour of your larger shrubs in your landscape. love the way they break up your yard in different rooms
Thank you for sharing about tarnish plant bugs

Love October Splendor iris and I have it in my garden, too. It's a favorite! Great tip about the peony foliage, thanks!

PEONY LOVER HERE 🤗🌸💕
Lots of things to do in the garden at this time, I'm doing the same!

Does the book you mentioned, Dahlia Breeding for the Farmer Florist, talk about growing dahlias from seed?

Does Grace like the soy sauce olive oil mixture? 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃
Do you store your tubers in perlite? in brown bags or boxes?
We're you mulching daffodils ? or which flowers?
Carols shade garden for snowdrops in the green. She is a authority on snowdrops. Located just outside Philadelphia.
Yes. That’s the only place (Bryn Mawr) that sells “ in the green” that I have found in US LIMITED quantity- must purchase early…too expensive for me.
My queenie now 😅
Hi, so my dahlias are huge and long petals, so I trimmed all the petals and put it in a paper bag. Should I not cut it off from the stem?
Do the dahlia seed pods have to be totally brown and dry to pick for saving?
How do you make the olive oil and soy sauce trap?

Did you get your problem fixed with the short pay at your stand that you mentioned earlier this year?
I have a way to see who is underpaying, but it's still happening.
I have a question. I dug up my dahlia tubers and they all looked wonderful. After the frost and they died back I dug up the tubers and cut the dried foliage off. I then sprayed the dirt off and placed the tubers still intact on a rack and kept the room at 50°. Within 24 hours my tubers went from being firm to being spongy.

Hi Connie! Could you send me a picture or video on Instagram so I can see them?
Are you saving seeds from the Dahlias you grew from tubers as well?
I'm hoping to save some! I have been cutting them so heavily that I don't have any seed pods yet.
Hi Danielle, love your channel. I have a question (that can be answered by anyone 😊) If all of my bulbs planted from last year are up already, what do you recommend? The daffodil foliage is up almost 6 inches. Do I just try and mulch as best as possible? Thanks in advance for the help!

Wow, thanks so much! I am very grateful you responded. You have inspired me greatly in the garden!
Will cut back my peonies, thanks! Lovely , effortless presentation, as always.
I have the same problem with my peonies. Is there any way to prevent it? It doesn't effect the blooms but I'd like to do more, if I can.
Can you spell the name of that disease?
Never mind--I found it online. Looks like it's weather-related, though I could be more careful about how much I water. Maybe drip irrigation would be best?
Grace is so so sweet. What is her breed?
Thank you Sue. She is a silver lab.

Hi, I am interested to do a collaboration with you for Yitahome growth light. Let me know where can I talk about it. I don't have your email Id.
