You can find me on Facebook @Cottoverdi and Instagram @Cottoverdi
I love watching when you compare them and love how you talk about them 😊
Thanks Jamie 😁🌸
Penhill Watermelon is my favourite. What a stunning shape and colour!
It really is! 🌸
Such a beautiful display of dahlias.
Thank you Linda 😊
😲 wow - so beautiful Annette Well done you .
Thanks so much Jacqui 😊
The rush I get when I realize one of the flowers I'm admiring in the video is a variety I bought for next year 😍
Hi Annette
Loved the Dahlia tour, my fav I think is Copper boy.
Thank you so much for all your hard work doing these videos.
Glad to see you’re back on top form after being poorly.
🌺💕
Thanks Susan 😊
Lovely assortment of dahlias. The ball shaped ones are exquisite and sophisticated. Copperboy is an absolute stunner! High Fidelity is an exciting 2nd place! Wow!
Thank you so much AJ. It's so hard to choose a favourite because I love so many of them! 😁🤣
@@cottoverdi exactly!!
You have a biutiful treasure I love your videos!! 😊❤❤❤🥰🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Bertha! 🌸🌸🌸
You have such a beautiful collection! Thanks for sharing the names and comparisons between them.♥♥♥
You are so welcome, thanks for watching 😊🌸
I do like your videos, I’m in the Pacific Northwest USA and have similar climate so enjoy seeing what’s going on in your garden. Dahlia growers here have said same thing, dahlias weeks later than usual. Our spring was cool. Thanks for the labels and comparisons.
Hi Marie, thank you and good to know that UK is not alone in our struggles with the weather this year! 😊
Thank you for this informative tour of your lovely dahlias.
My pleasure Karen. Thanks for watching 😁🌸
Gorj! I’m a fan of Caitlin’s joy, copper boy, and breakout but there’s loads you have that we can’t get over here in NZ! I also really like your two mislabels! Especially the ball
Thanks - yes, I'm keeping them both! 😊🌸
I love these comparison videos ! I want them all . Thanks or your efforts 💐
You are so welcome, thank you 😊🌸
Oh Annette your dahlias are so so beautiful! This is a great gift you had for us. Thank you❤
Thank you so much Monique. I'm so happy to be able to share them here 🌸😁
Thank you for all your effort. Delightful 😊
Thank you so much 🌸🌸🌸
Delightful video, and thanks for all the names Annette. Must have a tuber of mirtles folley next year, love that one. And also Hapet Kismet is my favorite.
Yes, Hillcrest Kismet is GORGEOUS! I hope I can divide my tubers this year so that I can have more 😊
❤❤❤❤ Thank you so very much
You are so welcome Helen - glad you enjoyed it 😊
Wonderful video! Thank you so much for doing such an in depth review. It is super helpful and informative!❤
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Lovely!!
Thank you! 😊
Hi, loved this video. I will watch again and make up my mind which I like the best.
I too have been sent the wrong tubers for one of my plants. It must happen quite often. 😊
Hi Pauline, thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I've also been told in the comments that my Paso Doble Dancer isn't right. so annoying to be sent the wrong tubers! 🫤
Very beautiful line-up for compare/contrast. I tried Cornel Bronze and Linda's Baby or the first time and love both. Surprisingly, they actually get along with an orange Jowey ball in bouquets, given the right fillers. Cafe au Lait is also new, and so far produced only a single bloom, hope she will manage a few more before the rainy season starts.
Thanks Heike. Your bouquet sounds so beautiful 😁
Thankyou I will have a look
Brilliant 😊
thank you for sharing, fantastic overview, you've got me excited!!
Well that was a marathon! Love how you collect them together because I loved most of them at the border but I want to try to add something into my flower "patch" I noticed this year I have too much of pink and need to stop and be more confident in adding other colours.i really enjoy "Linda's baby" in that area of colourway. So next year I will try dahlias. Thank you so much for all the hard work putting this together.
Thanks Tracy - sorry it was so long but I have SOOO many and I just don't know how to make it shorter 🤣
It was fine just as it is. So many different looks and colours. I like long videos I have a cup of tea so I'm good. Lol.
Like others have said our dahlias have been skow this year. Weve still got about 6 that are just forming buds.
Weve also had almost no slug damage this year. Weve used nematodes for 3 years now. Year 1 we bought direct and they worked. Year two we bought through zonama (flip it), and weve never had so many slugs. This year went direct again and that combined with slug pellets has been amazing. But weve had leaves munched in the middle and last week i caught the culprits. Silver Y moth caterpillars. Its a day flying moth and they are flying round the dahlias all day along with honey bees and bumbles which were also late to the garden this year. Now theyre here in numbers.
I was waiting for this video and have a lovelly list for next year. Copper boy I already had. It starts off round and then elongates and the petals become bycolour gold and copper. Just looks like gold dipped copper foil. Such an architectural flower. We got an octopus sparkle this year too and its stunning. Also who dunnit. The petals are the same colour as sliced raddish. And we have one called Avignon which is just opening this morning. Little Robert, verrones obsidion, icoon, golden crown, poodle skirt, fire pot and a few more cheap buys from B&M.
Love dahlias so much because they are like garden orchids and just love the format of this channel its helped so much.
Hi there, yes, I still have some that are only just forming buds - it's incredible the difference compared to last year. I hope they bloom before we have frosts! 🤣🌸
Your garden is like a painting! The colours and abundance are glorious. Mine's looking very much worse for wear now and has highlighted to me the fact that my new plantings are mostly for spring and early summer and I've given no thought to later summer and autumn. Live and learn.
The Dahlias are all beautiful. They are so incredible to look at. I love them all. What do you do with them at the end of the season? Do you dig them all up? If so, where do you put them?
Thanks so much Sue for your lovely comments. Yes, we dig our dahlias due to the heavy clay soil and wet winters. I will be doing this over the next few days and will record the process. We store the in sawdust in crates. 😊
Like you, my dahlias in pots did miserably this year. The dahlias in the ground took ages to take off but most are doing well now.
Hi Laurel, that's interesting and relief to know that I'm not the only one! Thank you 😊
Thanks Annette. Amazing and Infornative video as always. Next year I'll get Danique, Brown Sugar, Hillcrest Hizmet to go along with ottos thrills and cafe au lait.
Glad you enjoyed it and found some that you like!😊😁
aww, such a shame your Fairway Spur isn't Fairway Spur. I grew that variety for the first time this year and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I must grow more next year! Two others I'm thrilled with that I grew for the first time this year are Otto's thrill and Emory Paul- love those too. Your Mr Frans is gorgeous. One to add to my list for sure. I had 3 dahlias that were sent to me wrongly, this year. It is so disappointing. Sadly I don't like the ones I received- one is so small like a dwarf dahlia. I will give those 3 away. I so wish I had space for as many dahlias as you. It would be wonderful. Most of mine I have to grow in pots as there is no room n my beds for lots of dahlias. Brown sugar looks delicious. I agree that copper boy looks more rust than copper. I grew Sebastian for the first time this year and I was very pleased with it. Not a really tall dahlia but oh so0 pretty. A pale yellow tinged with lilac and pink. So pretty. Love the colour and the shape of the bloom of High Fidelity- another for my list. Thank you for the introduction. Love your 2nd unnamed variety- it looks like a flower made up of lots of butterflies- very pretty! If you ver find out what it is called then please would you let us know? Thank you 🙂I have Danique and I think it's a lovely plant. The bloom looks gorgeous with the foliage. My plant is quite short too- about 30" I thought it was because I have it in a pot, but maybe not? Break out is a beautiful dahlia. I tried to buy Eye Candy this year, but couldn't find it anywhere. Happy gardening 🙂 x
Hi Be, yes, I seem to have quite a few this year that are not what I ordered but I've been told that it's probably Sweet Suzanne and the good thing is, with this one at least, I really like the mistake! Not so much with Nicholas though 🫤 I like the look of Sebastian - one to add to my list for next year! 😁 I think my Eye Candy was from Halls of Heddon in 2023. 😊🌸
You do such a great job. I have some of the same as yours and I notice mine are slightly different. I am in USA zone 8a. Our summers here in the south are hot and humid. My dahlias really struggle in the heat, but now are happy because it has cooled down. Have you ever experienced gall? I think one of mine has it. I am seeing some growth at the base of the plant. 😢 Thanks for all your hard work. Your selections are amazingly beautiful and inspiring. ❤😊🤗
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊I have had gall occasionally but not often and as soon as I see it, I bin the tuber. It's not worth keeping git incase the gall spread so other tubers. 🌸🌸
Lovely selection of yellow/ orange dahlias. I'm surprised to note you don't grow David Howard, the most wonderful bright orangey flowers with bronze leaves. It is easy to grow and very vigorous without taking over. Plus it has a RHS AGM. What more could you ask for?
Ooh! another one to add to my list for next year. Thanks Diana 😊🌸
By the way, my favorite one was Alloway Cottage from today's video. I wanted to let you know that I've grown Lucca Johanna this year and she is a magnificent decorative dahlia as well !
Hi Jane, Lucca Johanna looks incredible! I wonder whether I can find it over her in UK...😁🌸
I love this video! Thank you so much. I would really enjoy being growing them, but my zone is way too hot! High Fidelity for the win😊
Thanks Holly 😊
Goodness Annette, how beautiful ❤ I do believe you and I were both fooled with Nicolas, mine looks identical to yours. I ordered it either from Brecks or
K. Van Bourgondien. What a huge disappointment in that one!
Hi Jane - gosh that's so annoying isn't it!? The flower that I've been sent is truly horrible and I'm not keeping it. Such a shame because I only chose it because my brother in law is called Nicholas! 😁
Copperboy is fabulous, its colour reminds me of my Cranberry Laura Ashley dupion silk curtains I have in my room.
I lit the Woodstove today, not for heat , I am still in shorts, but to cook. I use olive wood, the best, and our local high quality olive oil and my lemons to cook beef balls with potatoes.
You can't find such good olive oil even if you buy the best in the supermarket.
Sounds like a wonderful meal! Yum 😁
@@cottoverdi Yes, it was.
Brown Sugar is a knock out for me this year. ❤ The others are a bit slow it seems
That's so interesting - I love Brown Sugar too but it has been slow to start flowering even though I have it planted in full sun. 😊
Lovely collection and dispay! Do you need to dig em up or can you keep them in the soil over winter?
Hi, thank you! Yes, we have heavy clay soil and too much rain to leave them in the ground so we have to dig them and store them each year. It’s quite a project!
It's the end of October, and thoughts are turning to digging out the tubers. Frost is late in northeast US, and wondering if I need to wait for the freeze and two weeks in the ground, as most recommend. (I need the space for tulips.) Do you have to dig and store your dahlia tubers in your location? Of course, would love a dig / split / store video.
Hi Louise, no, you don't need to wait for a frost but most people seem to. I find it's often a more pleasant job in slightly warmer weather anyway! 😊
such lovely dahlias where do you get your tubers from
Thanks Linda. I buy from various places depending on who has the variety I want but if you live in UK try Farmer Gracy (although I have been sent a few incorrect varieties by them) and Halls of Heddon for cuttings.
Could that big peachy yellow be Jowey Nicky? I haven't grown it, but it looks familiar from my recent shopping for a peachy colored dahlia that was not too pink or too orange; I chose Nicholas. I can't imagine how you could pick a fave out of that garden! Wow!
Thanks Laurie. I don't know if it's Jowey Nicky but thanks for the tip because it looks gorgeous and definitely one to add to my list for next year! 😊🌸
The yellow one looks like my sweet susanne❤
it is sweet susanne I think.
Thank you so much for identifying it - it's great to have a name for this one because I really like it! 🌸😁 Thank you Katarina
Brilliant - that's so good to know the name, thank you for letting me know 😊🌸🌸
Nice video content
Thanks for the visit 😊🌸
Do you put manure in your dahlias?
Hillcrest kismet is a dream. I would put a sunbed next to them and spend the night there.
I agree - it's stunning 😁🌸
Lovely video, thank you!! But i don‘t think your paso doble dancer is the right one. It has a different shape. ❤
Yes, you are right, I've checked and it's nothing like it's supposed to be - thank you for pointing that out. It's so frustrating when you buy a new tuber and get sent the wrong one! 🫤
Dang, that was a favorite so now I'm wondering what it is really called.
