I tried Elegant Salmon Clarkia last year and loved it - it’s in the color pallet of many of your choices. This year I’m also trying a very different variety called Grace Shell Pink Clarkia.
Here in 9b PNW too. Got most of my cool flowers planted early fall, still couldn't get them all in so still seeding the rest this week. I will be starting sunflowers middle January to flower April with the short days, I will try to transplant earlier January to see how it goes. I love to see what others are growing 💗
I appreciated hearing your insights! I’m in 8b but way further south 🙂. I’m getting ready to start my Lisianthus (second year growing them). I planted several varieties of Poppies and some Asters a few weeks ago along with some Ranunculus and De Caen Anemones. At this point, some are up but it’s a little challenging to distinguish the seedlings from the winter weeds 🙃 so we’ll see!
This is my first year flowering. I am doing ok, but i have alot to learn. I have lived on this farm all my life and only grew vegetables,now i have a passion to start flowers. O am excited and scared. Lol
I greatly appreciate all that you share, thank you! I have a specific color bouquet in mind that I’d like to create, how does one time it properly to ensure flowers bloom at the same time? I prefer a softer palette and just wonder if it’s more of a headache to time it just right? I’ve always been a Gardner, but this coming season will be my first year with a cut flower farm.
I have built a calendar over the years that tracks when I have certain flowers available. Not everything will bloom all at once because they need different conditions so it’s hard to say. Generally though, you can base it on how long the seed needs from planting to bloom and count backwards for when to start everything. You’re seed packets could show you
You are so lucky to receive seeds. I am in Canada and am in a bit of a panic about not getting seeds because of the postal strike. The courier services are backed up and cannot give delivery dates.
Love your seed haul video. I will be ordering my seeds soon. I also had issues with procut white lite. Loved the white knight. I also had issues with the procut plum, love the color, but the neck was not strong. I ended up not putting them in my bouquets. Any suggestions on how to have a stronger neck?
It is so frustrating when that happens! I don’t know that you can change it other than harvesting at the right time and hydrating them properly. Sometimes it’s just the variety
This was fun. Curious: how old are your snaps? What conditions would you want to plant them out? I have healthy 2 week old seedlings and thinking about the garage for them with lights. 45 days, 35-40 at night
I’m already dreaming about next season’s seeds. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve never grown them. I’ll have to check them out
Thanks for keeping the excitement up for next year
I can’t wait!

The TH-cam channel Regenerative Gardening with Blossom and Branch has videos about starting Lisianthus from seed that I found very helpful.
It sounds like you’re off to a great start!

If you have a passion for it, it’s worth some anxiety to see your dreams through

@ will give it a try, thank you!

Oh no! I hope that gets sorted soon!
