- A couple of seed orders have arrived for my cut flower farm! Let's look at what flower seeds I have coming in and why I'm growing them (ie. what will they offer for design or what purpose will they fulfill). This one is sprinkled with some helpful tips about growing flowers!
Thank you to Pacific Floral Farm for allowing me to use her photos for this video! You can find Pacific Floral at:

I'm in awe of florists - I'm a grower trying my best to make farmers market bouquets. In Australia we're starting to wind down, just cranking the plants for one more flush or two! I'm looking forward to this video. Thanks Marie 🎉
I just wanted to let you know that I freaking love your channel.
I am a flower farmer that has a passion for learning how to create arrangements and can’t find many people in our community that helps me grow like you do.
You are so right about all the different climates and even in the same area your soil can be quite different so yes, its trial and error for your own little patch. As for seeds collecting… seriously, I have been waiting to start this for a year now, and have just secured my half acre! I have plenty of seeds and plants to grow! I have grown sweet pea in containers very successfully, also dahlias, Queens Annes Lace has done well also! I have many pots all doing great, well not the Zinnias, so small. But we are having a very hot summer and they like heat but not this heat. My Celosía died! So not everything successful. The past year, I have been growing in pots while I waited to find a block of land for my small flower farm. Your videos continue to excite me and I cannot wait to share my flower journey and probably will have questions as I go along!
Always enjoy a discussion on new seed options. I’m leaning more to direct sowing, nigella, poppy,larkspur,in autumn,I have mild winters, hot summers. The pink Maltese cross is lovely, grew well from seed, will be beautiful in event work. I am also choosing more perennials and have my best success with seed starting in autumn to overwinter the cool flowers. Thank you for your channel.😊
Thank you for the informative video. I am also supplying flowers for a wedding in August from my small yard in Oregon. They like bright flowers, so I'll be growing zinnias, snapdragons, dahlias and for filler, Coleus - Electric Lime. I have visited my relatives in Langley many times.. love the area.
I always love a seed haul! I’m very intrigued by the pink Maltese cross - I’ve only seen the red ones before. I might have to hunt that down!
Nice info on cutflowers again... i love your bloom contents. Nigella, has been far the easiest for me to grow here in Denmark, seams like we have about the same climate, they selfseed a lot. But I would definetely direct seed them in autum or winter. They are cold stratificating. Mine grow okay in heavy soil and even better in lighter a bit sandy soil... They germinate early. Good luck on them.
What a fun seed haul video! Helpful too! Thanks for this.😊
@@karenm5681 lovely! Glad it was helpful! I have one more order I’m waiting on, but it’s from the notoriously late-to-ship company 🤣. I’ll share that one when it finally gets here!
@ Can I guess? Is it William Dam? I only ordered from them one time for this very reason.
I can delete my comment if it’s something you’d rather not have in the comment section, just let me know. I was just curious.
You’d be right! 🤣 Amazing quality, amazing prices, just need to order in the summer or fall for things that need to be sown in Jan-Feb 🤣
@ 🤭 Hehehe Yup! I agree.👍🏼
I was so glad to see you did a seed haul because your esthetic is so beautiful ❤. I just ordered some perennials from Jelitto. They had sent actual snail mail about their new foxglove (which I did order) but am also excited about trying some more advanced ones such as eremurus from seed, a few kinds of limonium, and a new one to me called trollius that remind me of really unique ranunculus. Your friend’s wedding will be amazing! I grow the collomia from seed and they are so beautiful. I don’t know why they aren’t more popular. Kind of a phlox relative
Collomia grandiflora. Although I see there is another type of collomia with purple flowers that is sweet too
Like always great video!
@Marina.mimi133 yay! Glad you enjoyed it!
I remember you talking about bee balm as good greenery/filler flower. I bought mint lemon bergamot, have you grown this specific one? I hope I didn’t get the wrong one 😭
@Marina.mimi133 I don’t have that one (yet); but that one looks amazing and is also a perennial and supposed to be a great cut flower! Probably smells better than mine! 🤣
