The dahlias are growing quickly now, so in today’s video I’m covering hardening off, watering, feeding, plant supports and pinching out dahlias for bushier growth and more flowers later in the season. I’m also sharing a few thoughts on planting depth.
This stage of the season always feels full of excitement and possibility, and I hope this video offers a little inspiration and reassurance if you’re growing dahlias too.
Thank you so much for being here 🌿
