Dahlia Growing 101: Plant, Support, and Prune (Without Killing Them!)

In this video I will show you how to plant, support, and prune them for massive blooms! There are over 57,000 cultivars of Dahlias! Across these cultivars are all sorts of flower structures, sizes, and just about any color, except blue that is genetically impossible! What this means is I can grow perennial dahlias that look like zinnias, marigolds, and just about anything in between.

IN THIS VIDEO

I bought bulbs from both Brecks (Imported) and Triple Wren Farm (Domestic)

Jacques sitting inside the birdie bed is the ultimate garden plant. 😂

The visual of your garden in the background when you're planting is enviable! So much color and life. I love it.

Is anyone else loving the dogs? Are they rescues? They are so sweet and look so happy, I just love them!

[MonoiLuv]

Jacques, the flower game in your garden is really leveling up! Exciting to see

[karispauly]

Jacques...your garden is seriously magical. I want to come walk through it! Smell all those flowers!

[SundiMyint]

Jacques took off his hat and I had no idea who he was anymore hahaha 🤣 such flower goals in this garden! I have something to work towards now

[courtneycullen]

This is such perfect timing! I just started planting Dahlias today. Power Planter forever!!! Drawing so much inspiration from your garden

Wish I had a neighbour like yourself, we would grow as much as possible! I so love gardening but I cannot manage it all by myself, too complicated to explain. Nothing compares like preparing a bed for seeds, seedlings or bulbs and tubers. It is hard work, good planning and preparation but so worth it. Thank you for sharing, I've been growing dahlias for a long time, there is always something new we learn from each other and so many more varieties to choose from, happy gardening would love to see the blooms. Cheers!!!

I planted dahlias from seed this year and I’m ecstatic because they’re doing so well. I live in zone 5 so I will have to lift them every winter. But I’m so excited because they’re some of my favorite flowers.

[michelleh]

I'm growing 250+ dahlia tubers this year😅 they rapidly become an addiction!

[WollongongSkyWatch]

I love the Birdies raised beds. I grew so many greens in the one bed I couldn't believe it! I can't wait to get my Dahlias in the ground now - thank you for sharing your time and info :)

Thank you for this Dahlia vid, Jaques! I planted my 1st Dahlia called Crazy Love in a huge pot with a stake. It's pale pink lined in burgandy. The middle of the flower has hints of yellow and burgandy. It has sprouted!

I’ve grown dahlias all my gardening life. About forty five years. They are not the easiest flowers to grow. They need the right amount of water . You underwater they dry up you overwater the tubers rot. You have to pinch the plants to get bushier plants. Staking is also needed to keep them from flopping over. They are also susceptible to diseases. One year I had to get rid of all my dahlias, about fifty plants because they all got a fungus. So I had to replace them all. If you live in an area that has cold winters you have to dig them out and store them. If everything goes well you’ll have beautiful dahlias.

No hat Jacques 👏 Great video and beautiful flowers 💐

[ceecee-thetransplantedgardener]

I love Dahlias - my profile pic is from one I grew, in fact. But I had no idea about pinching the top for more flower stems. Cool! In my area, they are annuals - unless we dig up the tubers. And we often do. Great vid - thank you!

[katharinehammond]

Love seeing Tephra and Comos playing who is the friend at the end? As always fabulous video xx

[industrialtumbleweed]

Wow, first person here! I will be growing more flowers next year.

[leannhooper]

I love that you are adding more flowers! I just planted my Dahlias last week. Such beautiful flowers from ugly tubers!

[anapaulacrawford]

I love Dahlias. Got a few of my own . Such a beautiful flower ❤

Dear Jacques, I wanted to tell you how much i love your channel. Second, I come from Bratislava/Slovakia/Europe. After the WWII a lot of Bulgarian people had come to my town. Thay bought gardens and sell really yummy fruits and vegetables on the markets. So since those time all the "old" people from my town, including me, are buying and calling čubrica, čubrica, it has just stayed in out jargon. And yes! I have one on my balcony. Could you please give us some recepcie with čubrica? That would be awesome. Thank you. Love your channel. XX
