Although originally a native of Mexico, dahlias have become a British classic. A few years ago though, they fell out of favour with gardeners who thought of them as an old fashioned, gaudy and time consuming plant their great granddads grew on their allotments.
Fortunately after decades in the doldrums, they are enjoying a revival due to their vast colour range and fantastic flower power – those with single blooms are also a magnet to bees and butterflies. This has made them a real crowd pleaser and popular garden plant.
We visited Sarah Raven’s cutting garden in east Sussex where she grows an incredible range of dahlias.

Hi Sarah, I have just taken over the chores needing done in our gardens due to my wife's illness! I see my neighbours gardens full of these glorious colourful flowers which I would like to grow and show in my gardens! When is the best time to plant Dahlias seeds and holy hock seeds? I live in Scotland, so the temperature will differ from down south! Many thanks!
Great information thank you so much🥰✨👍🏽 Beautiful garden
Absolutely fantastic video
I just planted 20 tubers in my flower bed, and it's supposed to rain everyday for the next week in Texas. What should I do?
Just had 10 small plants from you. They look really healthy. Just potted them on can't wait to get them in the ground
Absolutely stunning garden can someone name the white trumpet flowers at 7:58 ? I'm obsessed!
Zero useful information. None. Planting bulbs. Pinching initial shoots, staking, Fertilizing. Would be a good start
Anybody knows the name of that orange semi cactus with red stripping at the end of the video?
