Behind the Blooms | A Dahlia Grower’s Favorite Varieties! ✨

Home to some of the biggest names in Dahlias and Bulbs, the Skagit Valley holds another unique treasure… Anne Long of The Dahlia House. Anne’s carefully curated collection of dahlias is a magical ombré of the most chic varieties on the market.

Stay tuned as I ask the most terrifying question of all time… “If your entire dahlia collection burned to the ground… what would you repurchase first.”

Grab a pen and paper because we are diving deep on some of the best dahlias on the market! And get ready… Anne’s Anemone and Ranunculus sale is live now and she’ll be selling from her mother stock of tubers in the spring!!!

All my best,
Kate

You crack me up! Your excitement is contagious!❤❤❤hombre everything! Lol whoever said this video was too long needs to get more of a flower life! I could have watched for 2 HOURS EASY, !!!

You nailed it in one sentence: "Gardeners are never gatekeepers!" This is the love!

[tahoe]

OK, I never, ever thought I'd see a gardener with as much enthusiasm for plants and flowers than Kate, but then we meet Anne who is equally as delightful in her love and appreciation of her precious Dahlias! Making her choose her top 10 was so interesting! I just loved watching her show us how she selects certain attributes of each one to be a favorite. LOVED this video and I wish I could get a bucketful of those beauties!! I might have to take a trip up to Skagit Valley...seems like a magical place. Thanks Kate for introducing us to Anne ❣🥰

Okay - I gotta find out what that cool dark plum anemone form is at 59:15!

[kiriaioulia]

Oh, Hello, I'm back. I got lost on the website. I'm IN LOVE with the Ranunculus Bella Notte Mix. I have to find a spot to grow this, and I have to learn how to grow this, and I am going to dream of this until it becomes a reality in my yard!!!! Will these live in

[richscheben]

Call me an old fart, what is OG? Love you ladies.

[stephaniesharkey]

Very, very pretty but I didn’t notice any bees around? Does she spray? Curious. I leave my tubers in the ground here in zone 8 GA. Also have a thrip problem this yr! Ugg

[MyFocusVaries]

Oooh, I love dahlias. Just the background of your opening chat is so beautiful. Thanks! This field is day trip distance for me, though I don't think I could bring anything back across the border (?) I used to have one. Then I scored some tubers last year at my garden club and my neighbour divided hers, and I got some on clearance at Costco(!) I leave mine in the ground, add mulch in November and wish them well. ❤️‍🩹 (I'll have to watch the rest later after planting garlic.)
