Hi, my Cocoon friend! Happy gardening day! Last year was such a great year with the types of dahlias I grew. Really loved each Dahlia variety so much and the colors. Dahlias are one of my favorite flowers. If you have not tried growing them, they are so much easier than you may think. So many to pick from and you can even create your own variety when you save the seeds. If you would like to learn how to divide the dahlias, watch this video; kzread.info/dash/bejne/oGefpbCvc6i3mqQ.htmlsi=wu9DFx56HV0WpCGT.

Thank you, they are such special flowers.🌸

I live in zone 9b, how often should I water them? Everyone have different opinions. Some tell me to water them twice a day, other onces a week and every other day. What kind of bug repellent you use. For some reason I starting to have so many different types of insects. First time planting dahlias. Thank you

I live in zone 8b and our weather is less harsh than yours. We get a lot of rain and when we get snow or ice, it does not last long. I garden organic, but the only thing I use for dahlias is Sluggo for the slugs and beer traps. The slugs are bad here. I keep my dahlias clean on the bottom 6-12 inches by removing the leaves and that helps with pests and diseases. Regarding watering, I don’t water them too often, maybe a couple of times a week. We have cooler weather in the 70’s and 80’s. August it gets in the 90’s and I may water an extra time. The tubers hold a lot of water, even if the plant wilts a little, it will come back when it cools off at night by using the water held on the tubers. If you water on excess you can kill them because the tubers rot. Think of them as potatoes, they do not like it too wet or too dry. This article may help you with some of how to maintain your dahlias to flourish. cocoonraw.com/help-my-dahlias-are-not-blooming-my-favorites/ I hope the information helps you. Stay creative!

@@cocoonraw I see, we only get rain maybe February to April. Is getting very hot and is hard to know hot much water. My plants were looking sad , on facebook everyone said need water, i water them more and now I have lots of plants dying from rooted tubes. You know how much that hurts 🥲

@@Meny1973That is the most difficult to understand. Dahlias come from cooler weather, from the mountains in Mexico. They have a hard time with weather above 85 degrees. Dahlias will wilt to protect and conserve the water in the tubers. I wait until morning to see if they are still wilted before watering Most times they spring back up. Overwatering will quickly rot the tubers, so maybe try the morning trick and see if it works.

Where do you got the peaches?
