  1. 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!!!

  2. I had considered growing dahlias, but unfortunately they are not deer resistant. I was wondering if you'd ever consider doing a video on deer resistant perennials. I'm currently trying to get perennial lupines, foxgloves, and milkweed started so I can plant them around the perimeter of my garden.

  3. Second dahlia lesson today. Joe gardener podcast went into breading. This was more concise and less breading more practical.

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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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 ^_^

  8. I tried planting a dinner plate one and literally it didn’t bloom or even grow, I gave up and won’t be buying them no more ????

  9. 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!

  10. A vid about Dahlia's? HE'S COMING FOR LAURA'S GIG Y'ALL. lol jkjk can't wait to see the end result of the dahlia patch!

  11. 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.
