Thank you so much, that's very kind of you - I'm so excited 😁😁😁

What a lovely way of doing the Dahlias. They all look really healthy too. You have a wonderful collection Annette. I've been watching Geoff and Heather's Dahlia collection videos. I admire them for all the work that they put in and they open their garden for the N.G.S. Their collection is amazing as is yours.

Ah, thanks so much 😊

Fantastic variety of dahlias, I look forward to following their progress and see them flowering. I am trying dahlias for the first time, I have managed to get 8 out of 11 growing but lost my 3 cafe au lait because I overwatered the tubers and they have rotted, went in the bin today. Lesson learnt i hope! It’s all still a learning curve for me.

Ooh,nice extras. I do like those 2 varieties. I also use that same company as you. Great company to deal with and always such great choice of varieties. My daughters name is also Natasha. I bought a Phlox Paniculata Natascha, for her. I bought Monarda .Beauty of Cobham' for my late daughter and and I grow Zinnia Zahara and Ammi majus for my granddaughters, Ami and Zahara. Great video. Thank you for sharing and happy gardening 🙂 x

Hi Be, it's so much fun collecting plants with names that have meaning to us, isn't it. I also collect with names of places that we've visited but there seem to be less options here...💚

WOW! Gorgeous varieties of dahlias! I have a plumb- purple-y theme this year with a splash of orange for my dahlia selections. I like the idea of getting cuttings instead of the hassle with tubers. I waited several weeks after receiving them and just planted them all in a raised bed.

Sounds great AJ - love the colour scheme. I really like to mix the dahlias with annuals too so that I can get some interesting combinations. So much fun!

Beautiful collection of dahlias. Can't wait to see them in full bloom. I love dahlias, but they give me so much trouble with insects, especially thrips and spider mites. I have many varieties of flowers, but none give me insect problems, only the dahlias. I've considered not planting them because they are such a problem. But, I still have last years tubers, so I'll try again. Regardless of my dahlia problems, I really look forward to seeing your beautiful blooms later this summer. Thank you for another great video!

Thanks Margie. I've never had insect problems but we do have really bad slug and snail issues when they're younger...it's always a battle! Thanks for watching 😊

I really enjoy watching what dahlias you have chosen ....so many pretty ones. gosh! where are you going to plant them all? 🤩😍😄

Thanks Jayne. They're all going to have to squeeze into my garden! 🤣 Fortunately, there's still quite a bit of space....😁

I just found dahlia electro pink at my local garden center. Now it is a pot dahlia. Dark bronze foliage with shocking pink cactus type flowers.

Hi Olivia, these cuttings were from Halls of Heddon but I believe their order books are closed for this year - mark your diary for the autumn so that you can grab some. 😁

What company do you order your Dahlia cuttings from and do they deliver to Ireland? 🤞Look forward to seeing all your Dahlias, I’m sure they will look gorgeous. Take and thank you.

Hi Sue, I ordered these from Halls of Heddon - do check their website to see whether they will deliver to Ireland. I think their order books are closed for this season. 😊

Hello Annette can I ask the name of the company that supply these dahlias. I have ordered all new tubers this year but a number haven’t come to anything and I like the idea of receiving cuttings much more. Your garden is going to look stunning with all the beautiful plants you have growing at the moment 💐

Hi Katarina, I know what you mean - it's fun to collect varieties with names that mean something to us - last year I chose Richard's Fortune (gorgeous) because my husband is called Richard - I also like to collect varieties with names of places I've visited but there don't seem to be many with place names.

Where do you buy the dahlia cuttings? Those look like some good ones

Can I ask a question. When you get your tubers out of storage and pot them up mine had quite large shoots on them. I followed your previous video from last year and potted up but ive left the shoots out of the soil because theyde be too large to bury. Ya think thatll be ok or with those die. They were white and have now turned red so far.

@cottoverdi

Hi Adam, the shoots would be fine out of the soil, sometimes, if they are too long, I break them off so that they can re-shoot because we don't want leggy dahlias!

ah right thanks for the advice. Really excited because we decided to try Dahlias after seeing this channel and we're seeing it through for a full year almost. 8 dahlias have turned into 25 from deciding 😮 so should be a good summer fingers crossed. Bought 3 more too. Golden Crown, Avignon and a burgundy cactus dahlia. The sun and ice made it as did Karma Sangria so well be in for a show. Thanks again.

Greeting's from Ireland, I don't have dahlia's but my mother loves them and the slug's go hell for leather on them. I keep telling her to put in slug traps to control them but she let's nature take's its course. I'd love to grow them but my flower bed's are full and if I buy one more pot my wife will murder me.
