Potting Up Dahlia Tubers For The Best Flowers / Starting Dahlias Early // Cottoverdi

My first dahlia tubers of the year have arrived, and today I’m potting them up. I show how I check each tuber for damage and what I remove before planting, how I choose the right pot size, and exactly how I pot them up so they have a strong healthy start. I also go through all the varieties in this delivery — there are 30 in total — sharing the height and flower size for each one. For the varieties I’ve grown before, I’ve included footage and photos of them in my garden so you can see how they perform in the borders. Finally, I show how I water and care for the pots in the weeks ahead until they’re ready to be planted out after the last frosts. 00:00 My first dahlia delivery of the year 00:46 Dahlia chat 02:07 Dahlia Bashful 02:46 Checking the tubers & removing damaged parts 05:25 Choosing the right pot size 07:00 How I pot up dahlia tubers 08:31 Dahlia varieties in this delivery 09:14 Dahlia Alyshia 09:42 Dahlia American Dawn 10:19 Dahlia Beauty Queen 10:43 Dahlia Berner Oberland 12:28 Dahlia Bestseller 12:44 Dahlia Blues Bird 13:05 Dahlia Bluetiful 13:41 Dahlia Café au Lait Royal 14:05 Dahlia Candy Time 14:37 Dahlia Caramel Antique 14:57 Dahlia Cranberry Classic 15:42 Dahlia Crème de Cassis 16:32 Dahlia Crème de Cognac 16:55 Dahlia Doris Duke 17:16 Dahlia Dutch Pearl 17:26 Dahlia Espacio 17:51 Dahlia Evanah 18:03 Dahlia Famoso 18:26 Dahlia Fuchsia Charm 18:50 Dahlia Henriette 19:06 Dahlia Invitation 19:16 Dahlia Lady Liberty 19:31 Dahlia Marshmallow Baby 19:43 Dahlia Melchior 19:55 Dahlia Milena Fleur 20:44 Dahlia Negroni Sunset 20:58 Dahlia Princess Nadine 21:27 Dahlia Schippers Choice 22:03 Dahlia Skyfall 22:32 Final thoughts & what happens next Frequently Asked About Products I Use (affiliate links): 🪴Secateurs - https://amzn.to/46lOasE 🪴Snips - https://amzn.to/4gDiGBH 🌸Seed Trays – 8 cell https://amzn.to/4sKFaq9 🌸Pot Feet: https://amzn.to/4a2Gop7 🌸Women’s Gardening Gloves https://amzn.to/3IN76TY 🌸Garden marker – https://amzn.to/3upLtCO 🌿Wire https://amzn.to/3KF0Pv5 🌿Vine eyes https://amzn.to/3yWNc7L 🌿Turnbuckles https://amzn.to/3KIUcYy 🌱Compost: https://amzn.to/3yofRii 🌱Mulch: https://amzn.to/4sIbzwp 🌱Slow-Release Plant Food: https://amzn.to/4349NKu 🌱Garden Fertiliser: https://amzn.to/4aMv5AD Thank you so much for joining me and watching - see you all next time.
