Great information! I winter sowed a lot of these perennials and they are all blooming now in 5b. I will continue to grow these plants.
I love to hear that!
... From Québec ... Thanks so much ...
Thanks for watching!
New visitor here from Canada 😊 Enjoyed your video.
Welcome and thank you!
Great information. Thank you!
I think a lot of times when perennials plants are said to only come back for a few years it really means that they like being divided. I divided my 3rd year delphiniums this year and got about a dozen plants from each. I think feverfew, yarrow and dianthus also benefit from this but haven’t tried with scabiosa. Rather than being ‘shortlived’ they just don’t like being crowded. Just my observations of course. And of course this does set the plant back a year. Just love your planting list and looking forward to trying Sea Holly after watching Jesse’s (bare) videos
That’s a great point! A dozen delphinium plants is awesome!!!
Thank you, thank you for your detailed information
Grateful for your knowledge and recommendations
You are very welcome - thanks for watching!
I started gardening for my landscape. And never wanted to cut any of my flowers 😛 so this year I started a cut flower garden and I’m totally smitten 😊 I have yet to cut a bouquet because things are short or wonky or someotherthing 😂 but I did grow everything from seed.. strawflowers(thick thick stems, yarrow(will it flower this year 🤷♀️) ammi (seems short, bit filling out.. no flowers yet) seed dahlias (25 mixed.. so far they are red or white) gomphrena (plants are about 6” tall with a single flower in the center.. can’t really even see it unless your looking down at it) celosia (6-8 inches tall pampas plume mix.. that are mostly fushia) scabiosa (getting ready to open) feverfew(short.. but sweet flowers 😌) and snapdragons (not even sure what went on with them.. they are like spaghetti noodle thick with bitty blossoms) I also grew a bunch of winter sown perennials and cool flowers (that mostly failed 😣) I have seeds ordered for sowing this month.. lots of perennials.. yarrow, hollyhocks, scabiosa, rudbeckia, echinacea, gaillardia, honeywort, viola, phlox, mint. Love your list!
Growing from seed is an accomplishment in itself! Some of those perennials will come back bigger and better next year!!
Great info. Thanks for sharing 😊
The problem I am having is where to plant all the new seedlings that will replace the existing ones until those can be removed in a couple years. 🤪
Oh ya, that is a problem. I would say interplant those little seedlings and give them some shade this summer but not if you’ll keep the older plants more than through this fall. I’d tell my husband I need to dig up more grass 😂😁
I would like to try perennial pin cushion flower next year. I’m hoping I can find a nursery pot.
Great idea!
I really want to grow Cobaea scandens, but the seeds are SO persnickity. I've tried for 4 years, and have failed to get ant germination. I've knocked the seed coat, soaked, planted them on their edge, planted partly exposed, different soil mixes, etc. I hope this will be the year at least 1 sprouts!
I grew these two years ago for a trellis. I nicked and soaked the seed and I had 5 or so starts. My problem was they bloomed so late in the season I only saw about 5 blooms. Good luck!!
@@wildbirdfarmdoes soaking seeds in peroxide work? Some channels promote this.
I’ve only soaked in water; I haven’t tried that.
I have plugs of sweet William and delphinium coming in sept for the first time...whats your spacing recommendation for these types?
For a commercial cut flower row, you can do 12 inches for both easily. Sweet William can go closer but you may get smaller bloom heads. In landscape, I’d give them 12-18 inches.
Do you net your sweet william?
@@kelleyspiller5330 I don’t net mine. If you are in a warmer climate and get really long stems outdoors, you may want to!
Great video....new subscriber ....watch your video with Jesse at b.a.r.e. flower farm.....🥀🌺🌻

Sea holly is beautiful but smells horrible.
Does it really? I grew it from seed last year and it is blooming now but I don't notice any smell.
I agree it isn’t my fav smell. I don’t notice it too much if it’s just one stem in a mixed bouquet.
@@cejanuary9378 I'm always looking for dog poop in my garden but it's the sea holly lol
My seaholly hasn't bloom yet but I planted it near another plant i noticed stinks when it blooms, Ascot rainbow euphorbia. Smells like pee
@@lfay8177 my Sea holly didn't bloom the first year. This year it is blooming like crazy.
