Seed grown Dahlias vs store bought?? The results may surprise you

#gardening #flowers #dahlias #bees Everyone loves Dahlias. They are absolutely beautiful and come in so many shapes and sizes. However, I feel that seed grown dahlias win because they are more beneficial to pollinators and have such a variety that you simply cannot reproduce in the stores.

    Hi, Dave! Hope all is well! Have you or, do you do bee keeping as well? Also I think it is so interesting when Isaac and I go metal detecting we find so many old flower gardens that still thrive 100s' of years later where people once lived! It's just fascinating what lives on over time! Keep doin what you do buddy! Chad- #bluecreekdetectors

    I have several mason bee houses for the natives but haven’t tried honeybee colonies yet. My gardens are so full of natives if I got honeybees they would outcompete them so it would actually be a negative for the natives. So I let other people raise the honeybees. Thanks for checking out the channel !!

    I think store bought flowers lack the energy and nutrients to really flower and provide pollinators food. I've noticed they take a year or 2 to recover, if they live. That's why seed grown is better.

    ​@DaveTheHillsideGardener not currently. My girlfriend has a whole bunch of flowers she is bringing from her old place though, there might be some in there.
