I'm still quite the newbie gardener so comprehensive advice like this is invaluable to me. I've always liked Dahlias and felt like they were too ambitious for me, but I impulsively bought one recently that I absolutely love. Hearing that they get on well with Salvias (Nemorosas are another personal favourite) is great to hear but I feel like I've rung the dinner bell for the entire local slug population 😂 Thank you for the tips - the advice will definitely be put to good use.

Deadheading roses is such an ordeal for me! I'm always worried about doing it wrong n hurting the rose bush. I wish a very well and detailed, illustrated book existed on the subject. I too love sweet peas and cosmos. They seem to be so forgiving and easy going for a beginner like me.

I will definitely cover it, but my understanding is that you can never hurt a rose by dead heading it. Pinch off the dead flowers with your finger or snip with secateurs down to the first place where there are 5 leaves (as opposed to 3). I also dead head a row of roses with shears, just clipping along. They have always come back!

1) I'm in zone 8a US. My macrophyllas are in bloom in May and the first half of June. If they need a good pruning, I always prune them no later than October. If I waited to prune in March I would have no blooms.I have made that mistake before. 😭I'm sure that it is fine to just nip the very ends in March as you explained. 2) Proven Winners emphasizes that the paniculata hydrangeas, especially the largest ones like Limelights, should not be pruned any further than 1/3 of the stem. You need to keep 2/3rds of the old woody stem to help hold up the huge blooms in wind and rain. Naturally, I made this mistake as well with my 6 paniculatas. Thank you for this video. I LOVE all of your videos.

I bought some, always thought they were beautiful. I live in Canada so I think I will probably have to dig them up in the fall . Thanks for the tips

Fabulous video, thank you. Steven was a delight to listen to and could not be clearer. I hadn't come across Cannas before but will be looking into growing some.

Very interesting. I'm a novice and had been gifted dahlia bulbs and had no clue what to do. Fingers 🤞. I planted one last year but didn't know to dig them up so left it. It had rotted away but just seen new leaves are sprouting so hopefully it'll grow again

What a lovely video. Very informative and such beautiful gardens. I've never grown dahlias before, I fancy giving it a go as I'd love to be able to cut flowers for a vase over the summer.

Thank you, and it is really worth trying them. Just make sure you protect from slugs and snails when they first come up until they get big enough to ensure that a few nibbles doesn't damage them.

@@TheMiddlesizedGarden Thank you, I will do! I discovered the sheep's wool pellets a few years ago when slugs ate half of my sweet pea seedlings and now I use it around everything, just in case!

Steven Edney is such an engaging speaker; I do hope you can speak to him again next year, eg some more highlights from his long border, his pick of long flowering perennials, or whatever; it's bound to be rivetting!
