I really enjoyed these dahlias. I particularly liked the color combinations and the way you combined them with other flowers. I live in the US, so there were a number of dahlias that I don’t think we can buy here. It was fun to see those new varieties. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden.
Great you are organic, mee too! I use coarse gravel and spread it liberally around dahlia when I plant them into the ground. Apparently slugs don't like " walking" over rough surfaces. So, it is more of a deterant. But,snails still attack. And slugs too. I noticed that if I regularly mow the lawn, slugs are less present, as they don't like sunlight and exposure to heat and dry soil. Also, slugs like some dahlias more than others! Labyrinth has proven not to be their favourite. And when they go into a full blown commando munching attack, and dahlia is struggling to grow, I take a spade, and gently lift the whole dahlia root, and place it into a very large pot. I completely saved my Molly Raven and Creme de Cognac this way, and not only did MRaven prosper in the pot, but, I never had such a big, abundant, happy, leaves-untouched dahlia in my life! I regularly give liquid feed to my dahlias. Anyway, I hope my experience helps your followers.
That's so good to know and thank you for your wealth of information. I only feed my dahlias when I plant them and then not really very often through the season so maybe I should start giving them a proper feed next year. I will try that. Thank you. 😊
I got Catlin's Joy on the basis of your recommendations, and love it. For the mixed border it is not too high so doesn't need much support. And has purple, very rigid stems, great for the vase. It is so helpful to know which of your dahlias you found floriferous, performed well over a long season, have long strong stems which hold the flower head up well, too, and those which don't really need much staking. I'm off to Wisley flower show this coming week and will be avidly perusing the offerings in the dahlias show tent, for her more ideas for next year.
Oh, I'm so glad to hear that Laurel - Caitlin's Joy is gorgeous. Gosh, I've avoided Wisley all year because of the traffic from the road works. Hope you have an easy journey and loads of fun! 😁🌸🦋
This is a fantastic video. Here in SoCalifornia 9b, in spite of weeks of 100+ temps and shade cloth my dahlia standouts are: Kelvin Floodlight. Wizard of Oz. Linda’s Baby. Arabian Night. Bashful and Thomas Edison. Your dahlias are breathtaking.
Thanks, Monica and thanks for sharing. I love Arabian Night and Thomas Edison too but I lost mine a few years ago. Bashful looks incredible - one for my list next year 😁
I only just started loving Dahlias, ordered my first batch the collection of Dahlias as peonies from Sarah Raven but now have other inspo from your ones!
Gosh, so many dahlias!! Well done. It's paradise here. I have used a quilt for the first time tonight. During the day it is 30C which is perfect but windy and the sea is wavy.
@cottoverdi Yes, it feels a bit like October, yesterday it was even 25C but today 28C with no wind and in Corfu 19C.Such great difference but it is the rain in Corfu which makes it cold.
Wow, what a huge variety of dahlias. I can see what you are trying to accomplish as far as colour combinations and size, so that they all get to be seen and work well together. You definitely have enough to not worry about saying goodbye to quite a few not so good dahlias. Gardening is a process that is forever changing. I love the collarette and waterlily type dahlias. I have Richard's fortune too and was so happy with it when it flowered last summer. Well done on keeping up with such a beautiful and interesting garden.😊
Thank you so much - yes, some dahlias just have to go. If I don't absolutely love a plant then I have no hesitation is ripping git out and adding it to the compost heap! 😁🤣
Thank you soo much, gorgeous variety of Dalia’s ❤, very interesting hearing your thoughts on each one, I have now got a list of at least twelve to buy 😂
Thanks Annette for another great video 😍will refer back to this when ordering more tubers😁glad your feeling better it’s a great tonic to get back in the garden. I must get more dahlias as they look great when other plants are starting to go over for the Autumn 😀your garden is amazing🌺🌸🥰
Absolutely stunning dalias. Guess what, after 3 months of hell, 40C , it rained last night, thank God. Now it is 31C but it drops at night and early morning to 26C. I'm glad you recovered and feel ok. 12.00 I love it that you say "for ages" . Nowadays people especially young ones, say in ages.
@cottoverdi I am sweating like mad and all my tshirts went in the washing machine. I wore them clean and in 15 minutes had to go for a wash. Hot flashes ,although I am a slim person and I do yoga. But ftom 2pm till 8pm we lived with the air-condition on. I don't know what the electricity bill is gonna be like. I swam 42 times though, once or twice a day . Very brown legs,haha.
I’ve heard a lot of people say their dahlias are blowing open very quickly this year. Must be something with the growing conditions this summer. I really loved your tour.
Lovely tour and beautiful assortment of dahlias and garden! You have inspired me to add more 😊🌸. I hope you are feeling much better soon! I enjoy all of your videos!
Thoroughly enjoyed your dahlia tour today, such gorgeous blooms and very thoughtfully inter planted with so many other beautiful flowers! Seeing how you mingled other plants amongst your dahlias is making me rethink my beds for next year!
Hi Annette, so glad you area feeling 100% now. I have many of the Karma se ies dahlias. I find they do so well, evenn in pots. My latest acquisition for this year is Karm Gold and Karma Amora. I love them- very floriferous upstanding plants. I have Richard's Fortune. It flowers its'socks off and so pretty. I have American Sunset and I tried to get American Dawn this year, but couldn't find it for sale anywhere. My favourite purchase this year was Fairway Spur- an enormous dinner plate variety. My mambo was my first dahlia to flower- my hubster loves it- his favourite of my dahlias! I grew Otto's Thrill for the first time thi year, together with Emory Paul, They are both gorgeous, both with enormous, blousy beautifully coloured blooms. I bought Salmon Runner this year and it has turned out to be good buy. Lovely upright plant and plenty of flowers. Happy gardening 🙂
Loved your dahlia tour Annette, so great to see them all. Your garden looks beautiful. Hope you feel great again soon. Missed you the last few weeks. Kind regards Joke 😘
Beautiful dalias youcan obviously grow them so well, i planted them from seed indoors and placed outside after several wks, never made it the snails went after them like crazy , the survivors just withered away... I haven't given up on them thats just my 1st atempt.
I'm so sorry to hear that Barbara. Try waiting until the plants are a good size before you place them outside - that way, they are more protected and can withstand the onslaught better. They may get munched but will usually be able to grow more leaves.
Thank you Annette! Hope you’re feeling much better! Lovely dahlia tour, it’s such a treat that you show each one, with photos and your own experience with it. Do you try to grow a certain number of each variety every year?
Thank you so much! Well, every year I find more and more dahlias that I want to try. Most I keep, others get binned. So at the moment, we seem to be growing more varieties each year. With the plants that I like, I tend to grow in groups of 3, so it depends how many flower beds I want that particular one in, as to how many I grow. Does that make sense? So I may keep 3 clumps of tubers or 6, 9 etc. I don;t tend to go over 9 or 10 at the moment because we don't have sufficient space until the other flower beds are created. There is, of course, the problem with finding space (and energy) to store them and then grow them on in spring. We planted 364 dahlias this year and I feel that is the absolute maximum we can manage. So if I want new varieties next year, some varieties will have to go and I already know which ones I will not be growing again! 😁
Good morning Annette. I’m still struggling after having covid a few weeks ago. Hope you feel better soon ❤ the garden is beautiful as always and I can’t wait to add a few dahlias to my garden next year. As always thank you for giving us the names of these beautiful flowers ❤
Hi Juliana, I'm so sorry to hear you caught it too. It's so draining. I think it hit me harder because I had a horrible infection on my finger the week prior so I was already under the weather. This will pass (that's what I keep telling myself!). So glad you enjoyed the video 😊🌸
Your dahlias are gorgeous! I have some of the same ones, but yours are prettier than mine! I love mine, but I moved to the south in the USA 3 years ago and it is challenging to grow them here with the heat and humidity. By the way I lived in Thetford in East Anglia for 4 yrs when I was young. Our son was born at Lakenheath RAF. I am from the USA and loved our time in England, long ago! Don’t know if you are familiar with where I lived. Anyway you do an amazing job with your videoing and names of your dahlias. Thank you for all your hard work! ❤
Thanks Cheri. That's so funny - I'm sure yours are gorgeous 😁 But I can understand that they probably don't like the intense heat. I haven't been to East Anglia (yet) but I'm sure it's a beautiful part of England. Thank you for your kind words. 😊🌸
Lovely video!! I also got some mistakes in my dahlia bed this year, my bed is very small so its pretty frustrating but hopefully next year i will get the look i want! 🥰
And here is a very nice,sad song about September. Θυμήσου το Σεπτέμβρη, Κώστας Καρράς the singer. Thymisou to Septembvri, Kostas Karras. Remember it was September that I told you I love you. It really reminds me of the men I loved and makes me cry but it nurishes my soul.
Hi Shirley - they are doing really well! All have grown a good amount of foliage so I'm super excited for the flowers - I will do an update soon to show everyone - thanks for the reminder!
Thanks Sherrill. We tend to use a 7-7-7 fertiliser when we plant them and then we mulch with well rotted farmyard manure. That's all they get - we don;t tend to feed them once they're planted. The pots get a slow release fertiliser when we plant them and then, this year, we have been a bit slack and have only topped up once with a tomato feed. Hope this helps. 😊
Hi Andy, I have about 10 Bright Eyes in the front garden! I just didn't include them in the video because I felt it was too long.... Will try to add them to the end of another video. they are such good performers. 😊
Hi Roseanne, I go out at night with my torch and collect them up and then dispose of them But I also use a nematode spray at least once each season but it only helps with the slugs not the snails. Good luck with these pests!! 🐌
Babylon bronze maybe not producing well, because of a bad tuber? I had babylon last year, it was producing flower after flower, I couldn't keep up with it. I did give liquid feed. So, I think variety is ok, just maybe a bad tuber? Mine later died in winter, and some tubers I noticed, only just survived, but were like invalids performance wise from spring onwards, and were struggling to grow and progress, producing very little flowers. So, nowadays I think maybe bad tuber, or not enough sunlight. Some dahlias are ok with part shade, and keep producing and producing, and some are simply not at all happy with any shade and struggle.
I think your dahlia which you said wasn’t peaches and unknown is “Gitts perfection”. Also your Rosemary blush isn’t the right colour. Think it has reverted back to Rosemary Dawn.
Thank you so so much Ken. Yes, it does look like Gitts Perfection - well done for that ID. Also, I cannot thank you enough for spotting my error with Rosemary Dawn - it's too late now to correct the video but I'll add the correction to the Description text. Once again, thank you.😊
No worries, I ordered Rosemary Blush from Halls of Heddon this year but it reverted back. When I contacted them they said they have had lots do this and won’t be supplying it next year. Shame as it’s a beauty.
Have you ever watched this man called John who makes these videos about looking after plants? He wanders in gorgeous gardens but he kicks the plants. So weird!!!
Gorgeous, to see all those exhuberant Dahlias!!! Please, don’t tell in front of the flowers, that you don’t like them, and that they will be discarted. Plants are very sensitive beings, and they suffer by being “bullied”🥲
Wow you have out done yourself this year with the dahlias, your gardens look amazing!💐👏
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that you can see beyond the mess and gaps 🤣😁
You made my heart sing, Annette, with your lovely dahlias. I think there must be dahlias in heaven, hmmm?
Thank you so much! 😊
I really enjoyed these dahlias. I particularly liked the color combinations and the way you combined them with other flowers. I live in the US, so there were a number of dahlias that I don’t think we can buy here. It was fun to see those new varieties. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden.

Thank you so much for sharing the name of each dahlia bush ! 😊❤🥰💯🙏🙏🙏
My pleasure Bertha, and thank you so much 😊
Thank you!😍
We had the same problem in Sweden, with snails and slugs!
😬🐌🤣 Sorry to hear that Hannah. 😊
I’m going to need to rewatch this to see if i can pick a favorite.😍
Oh, fab! 😁

Thank you so much Carol. Yes, finally feeling more like myself! 😊
I only just started loving Dahlias, ordered my first batch the collection of Dahlias as peonies from Sarah Raven but now have other inspo from your ones!
Fantastic! I am always finding new dahlias to add to my collection 😂
Gosh, so many dahlias!! Well done.
It's paradise here. I have used a quilt for the first time tonight.
During the day it is 30C which is perfect but windy and the sea is wavy.

You are so welcome Janet, and thank you. Yes, dahlias really are such fab plants when the rest of the garden is looking a little weary. 😁
Gosh, your garden is lovely! Hope you're feeling 100% again very soon.
Thank you! 😊 So glad you enjoyed the tour 🌸
Absolutely stunning dalias.

btw the big pink dinnerplate could be the cafe au lait royal, looks like mine.
Thanks Joke, someone has mentioned that it could be Gitts Perfection, which is a possibility since it has that creamy centre. 🌸
Great job, thank you!
Thank you too! 😁🌸

Wow, wow, wow. Your dahlia collection is outstanding. So beautiful. Have you ever started any dahlias from seed?
Thank you so much! No, not yet - there are always so many that I want to buy 🤣🌸
Lovely video!! I also got some mistakes in my dahlia bed this year, my bed is very small so its pretty frustrating but hopefully next year i will get the look i want! 🥰
I hope so too! It really is frustrating when it wrecks the colour scheme! 😁
Great video!!! Will now be ordering Galloway cottage ❤

And here is a very nice,sad song about September. Θυμήσου το Σεπτέμβρη, Κώστας Καρράς the singer.
Thymisou to Septembvri, Kostas Karras. Remember it was September that I told you I love you.
It really reminds me of the men I loved and makes me cry but it nurishes my soul.
Ah, that's a lovely sentiment 🌸
Thank you for sharing with names, very helpful. I am so curious how your mid-Summer planted Anemones are doing?Thank you
Hi Shirley - they are doing really well! All have grown a good amount of foliage so I'm super excited for the flowers - I will do an update soon to show everyone - thanks for the reminder!
@@cottoverdi very exciting, thank you for the update
Beautiful dahlias..incredible how many varieties you have ❤ what fertilizer do you use?
Thanks Sherrill. We tend to use a 7-7-7 fertiliser when we plant them and then we mulch with well rotted farmyard manure. That's all they get - we don;t tend to feed them once they're planted. The pots get a slow release fertiliser when we plant them and then, this year, we have been a bit slack and have only topped up once with a tomato feed.
Hope this helps. 😊
What's the dahlia in the thumbnail? The pale pink with magenta variagations.
Love watching your garden tour!
Hi there, Thanks so much. The dahlia in the thumbnail is called Strawberry Cream - someone has told me that in USA it's called Strawberries n Cream. 😊
Wow, your dahlia’s are so beautiful! Do you think they thrive better in the garden or in containers?
Thanks so much Linda. Definitely much much better performance in the garden borders than in pots.
Great video, thanks for sharing with us! Question: What is the big pink dahlia at 1:08 (on the left over your shoulder)?
Hi there, that's a rose! It's Harlow Carr (David Austin). I love them and the fragrance is fabulous 😁
No bright eyes this year ? I missed out on getting some but gone with others from the happy days family in purple to bounce with my Karma Lagoon
Hi Andy, I have about 10 Bright Eyes in the front garden! I just didn't include them in the video because I felt it was too long.... Will try to add them to the end of another video. they are such good performers. 😊
Thank you for the update very much appreciated x
Can you please let us know the name of the purple amaranth? Would love to grow it.
I think it's Velvet curtains but I didn't sow it so I'm just trying to match it up with the seed packets I have from the past years 😊
What did you use to combat the slugs and snails?
Hi Roseanne, I go out at night with my torch and collect them up and then dispose of them But I also use a nematode spray at least once each season but it only helps with the slugs not the snails. Good luck with these pests!! 🐌
💕💕
😊🌸 Thanks

Hi there, thank you for your advice - yes, maybe I should replace the tuber and try again next year. 😊🌸
Which of those are cold colour?
Hi Monika, I think that Teesbrooke Audrey might be what you're looking for. 😊
@@cottoverdi yes, this is the only one i actually have but i m looking for bigger one
Try Sweet Love or Karma Propero - these are cooler pinks I think. Josudi Andromeda is a cooler white with purple.
I think your dahlia which you said wasn’t peaches and unknown is “Gitts perfection”. Also your Rosemary blush isn’t the right colour. Think it has reverted back to Rosemary Dawn.
Thank you so so much Ken. Yes, it does look like Gitts Perfection - well done for that ID. Also, I cannot thank you enough for spotting my error with Rosemary Dawn - it's too late now to correct the video but I'll add the correction to the Description text. Once again, thank you.😊
No worries, I ordered Rosemary Blush from Halls of Heddon this year but it reverted back. When I contacted them they said they have had lots do this and won’t be supplying it next year. Shame as it’s a beauty.
Oh that's a shame - it was so lovely!
Have you ever watched this man called John who makes these videos about looking after plants? He wanders in gorgeous gardens but he kicks the plants. So weird!!!
🤣 That is very odd indeed! No, I've never seen this.
Gorgeous, to see all those exhuberant Dahlias!!! Please, don’t tell in front of the flowers, that you don’t like them, and that they will be discarted. Plants are very sensitive beings, and they suffer by being “bullied”🥲
🤣 Sorry!
