Dahlias, Zinnias, and Lisianthus, Oh My! September Cut Flower Garden Tour, Zone 5B - Part 1!

Garden Gals and Guys, in today's video I take you along with me for Part 1 of my September cut flower garden tour including my thriving Dahlias, Zinnias, and Lisianthus!
I share with you some of my favorite varieties, as well as, some takeaways from this year so far. All flowers are grown from seed in my cut flower garden (aside from dahlias, which come from tubers) with Lisianthus started alllllll the way back on January 15th. This is my best year yet out in the cut flower garden, so I hope you enjoy this tour and if you haven't yet, plan to grow a flower or two for yourself next year!

    I am finally ready to start this year I am ready to start! I have been watching your videos for a while now. At around 6:30 in this video I found myself smiling back at you and honestly getting a little teary-eyed. I want this in my life! I need it. I have hope. Thank you so much for giving us such fun and informative videos. You're also such a joy to listen to! I live in central Illinois! I am so happy I found you!

    Beautiful flowers! I'm so glad someone has talked about the green "flower" after Dahlia petals fall off! 😁 I discovered this last season and tested them out in the vase and they look good for ages in a boquet! ❤ Dahlias are so beautiful and I think although the dinner plates don't last very long in a vase I can now use them again. When the flower is looking sad 5daya or so later I just pull all the spent petals off and admire them again 😊

    Love your dahlias. I don't think that is Linda's baby - isn't Linda's Baby a ball dahlia. You have inspired me to go ahead and plant my dahlias in my raised bed next season. I have Polka ..love it and waiting for my Sweet Natalie to bloom ( I am not in the US) Cannot wait plus I have Wiz of Oz new this year too which I can't wait for. I grow Zinnias too, love em, just started pinching/cutting them like you say to get longer stems and bushing.

All the flowers look great, even after you came back from vacay. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm off to see part two. Wondering where you got your Dahlias. I looked up some names you mentioned, and I'm thinking you got them from Splendor Oaks?

    Hi Madeline! Thank you! Glad you found me 😀 I got most of them from Flower Farmers or Swan Hill Dahlia Company…I’ve actually never heard of Splendor Oaks! I use the Dahlia Addict site if I’m looking for a certain variety - it’ll give me a list of flower farmers with that tuber in stock. It’s a great tool! Glad to have you here. Enjoy!

    OMG You are so cute and love your joy and enthusiasm! Your garden is gorgeous with flowers. I am a pink girl and love your choices. I have ordered some of the same dahlias as you. I grew two last year and had 30 this year, but 8 died rot etc. That was Linda’s baby you had, I have that one. I am going to try winter sewing, I don’t have room indoors to start seeds. I moved from OH 6a to SC 8a 2 years ago. Very hot for dahlias, but I can leave them in the ground in the winter. Like you flowers bring me so much joy. Great job and continued success! 😊

    Wow! My dahlias are looking very rough this year. They did not enjoy where I planted them this year and I don’t have good irrigation to the spot, so that was my fault. Are these the dahlias you planted in July? If so, wow!! If not, how are those ones doing? I’m wondering because I’m trying to figure if I can plant that late next year and still get flowers in September.

    Hi Kaitlin! They are not, but the dahlias that I planted in July have put on a lot of growth...I think I'll get a bloom or two from them. I don't expect all of them to bloom, but I do expect all of them will have multiplied in tubers, which is great. I'll film an update on them in the next couple of videos because you're not the only one who has asked! I've heard some other people had a rough dahlia year this year as well, so you're not the only one.
