This year’s dahlia patch is going to be EPIC! Join me as I share tips on how to plant and support your dahlias no matter how many you are growing. Since I’m growing these flowers for my wedding later this year, I’m taking extra care in making sure they are properly supported. I don’t want any summer storms to damage them!

I planted my cafe au lait two weeks ago. Can’t wait to see them bloom! Hope you had a lovely sunny day! ❤from Jersey Channel Islands 🇯🇪
Hi! What are the flowers in the foreground in some of the shots please? (With small orange globes)
Can't wait to see all the Dahlia's bloom.
My dahlia's are already blooming away for a week or two.
So lovely, your bouquet will be gorgeous. I use tomato cages for support, it doesn't take long for the foliage to hide them. Couldn't help but notice the foxglove, it is my favorite after all, those long stems much have looked stunning 😊
So exciting!
Your Dahlia bed will be lovely! I learned a lot today about growing them . Thank you!
So excited for you! I wish I was into gardening at the time of my wedding because I would have loved to grow my own wedding flowers. I would have only needed enough for my bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets and boutonnières. Now I can grow them for my little sisters wedding. Can’t wait to see your bouquets!
My climate is similar to UK and my dahlias are blooming already 😍
Looking forward to the video where you army crawl under the net ! Im sure youll figure it out! Looking forward to seeing them all blooming en-masse! I left mine in last year and two are coming back…in clay soil in yorkshire! I cant believe it!
Do snails and slugs attack them when they're that big??growing them for the first time this year….in pots…were already attacked by black aphids…dealt with those with black soap…fingers and a paintbrush….and cut some flowers shoot that were going black…..so i thi k they might be happier in the ground….but i'm afraid of slugs😂good luck with yours,will be following the progresses …i've started to give mine a very diluted organic tomatoe feed….
I am using some similar netting this year for the first time. So far so good. 😊
So exciting,can't wait to see those lovely colours
It's heartening to see yours are a similar size to mine (I'm also in the Midlands), as mine have been getting battered by slugs and I thought they were behind! I've put holly and recycled wool around them this weekend to try and keep the slugs off them and help the really chewed specimens to recover! I'm so excited to see your wedding flowers, it's amazing that you're taking that on as a project.
Ohhh strange, I have two dahlias both in bloom already, must be earlier blooming varieties.

Fantastic work I'm sure you will have an avalanche of blooms. Thanks for the tips on location and downside of straw near dahlia plants. Your so lucky to have the space. I have to compete with my other half on garden spaces 😂😂
You are AMAZING!!!
Thanks Katrina, that's inspired me to pop up to my allotment and give my dahlia's some love! A bit of staking
Beautiful garden 🪴🌱
I've got 140 dahlias, various varieties as usual, in the ground this year. One early variety is beginning to bloom now. Like you said dahlias bloom until late autumn and first frost. Dahlias are so gorgeous and I'm never disappointed with them. Good luck with yours. Cheers!
You can always add a few more stakes and cut down the middle of support net to add a pathway.
Excellent Katrina, that main bed is going to look amazing, looking forward to seeing it in full bloom. We lost quite a few Dahlias this year sadly, so will be restocking next year, so I'll be taking note of names !
Btw, Spear & Jackson make a light weight long reach pruner which I find really useful for deadheading, as it holds on to the cut stem so you can retrieve the spent bloom !
Thank you for sharing your joy and your flowers, insects, birds etc. I realy appreciate it 🙏🦋🌷🦋🙏
Curious as to how you will reach the centre ones, to harvest 🤔
Since you mentioned a summer storm in the video and we've had a couple pretty nasty turns in the weather since filming, i hope they're all ok still 😊
Hi Katrina, your garden is looking beautiful! It's very hot here in Texas and we are coming to the end of the summer garden. It's been a heat wave and temp are around 120 to 106 for several weeks. We are looking forward to our trip this October to the Cotswolds for a week. We love to visit England every year and this year we will spend a few days in Scotland as well. Looking forward to seeing your Dahlia plants bloom. Blessings, Rochelle
