My town has a designated spot where a club plants a bunch of dahlias (and digs them up to replant again after the ground thaws) I hadn t ever really heard about these daisy-relatives until moving here and seeing a near-festival every late summer/early autumn, but they re now probably my favorite thing to look forward to around my birthday s time of year, moreso than leaves changing color or the weather starting to crips up but the sun s still gently warm. My mom can have spring and tulips, I ll lay claim to dahlias! XD

My mom passed away a few years ago and dahlia's were always her favorite. She would go to the special dahlia display at our state fair every year to add on to her collection. Sadly after she passed and my dad moved to a smaller house I was living in a condo and the only plant I could save from her garden was her favorite rosebush, but last autumn my husband and I moved into our forever house and this spring I am planting dahlia's.

This is awesome! Thanks, Kevin.
Growing up on a farm in MI in the 70 s, an old man (former owner of the farm ) would come out each summer and plant his dahlias in our garden. He taught us a lot about gardening - always said, Sing to your plants! Later I realized he developed two of those 57, 000 varieties!

I have to laugh at myself because last year I had Dahlais and1 grew exceptional! I never realized that they were tubulers, and that in my St Louis zone 6b, I needed to dig them up! I did manage to save some seeds and they have sprouted! Beautiful. Great video presentation. as always!

Thankyou for the history of dahlias very interesting, I grew dahlias for the first time last year and I'm completely hooked now, overwintered mine indoors as I have clay soil in the UK.

I can't seem to find where to buy dahlias at the website in the description? Maybe it's because I'm on mobile. Seeing the giant boxes of dahlia tubers that you have makes me jealous haha.

Hearing someone say eight homologous sets of chromosomes in a random video makes my geneticist heart happy. I worked on polyploid crop research until recently _

It's mind blowing to me that no one can create a true blue Dalia! I hope someone can. I bet it would be gorgeous!
I might need to grow some Dalia's.

Dahlias are my favorite flower but my area is one zone too cold for me to perennialize them, sadly. I loved the info in this video, thank you!

I ve grown my fair share of plants. There is something about Dahlias that just never gets old. My favorite is the Bishops children cultivar

Fantastic job covering all the key points of dahlias. They are the quintessential flower/s in my opinion and they are highly addictive.

How do you store them over winter? Do you put them in dirt, sand, straw, or nothing? Sorry if this is in the video and I missed it.
