Honeyworth gives two plants per seed! 👌🏼 And the plants gets massive.
Congratulations for reaching over 10,000 subscribers! What an accomplishment!
Thank you!
Thank you Christina. Everything looks great! I’m so excited for you to be able to get your hoop house up! 🌷💚🙃
If you put the tips in water they grow roots quickly, and will get more plants!
Will they flower?
Hi Christina. I've been faithfully watching you since the beginning and so grateful for all you share. Thought I would jump on say I think your green tool is called a dibbler. Looking forward to seeing your expansion this year!
The little pokey tool is a dibbler
Love my dibber, too. 😉 So thrilled for you and your honeywort.Was the joy of my '22 garden season, first time growing it. Sister, you are killin' it. Cheering you on from WA state.
Hi Christina,
Love your plants so healthy looking, all my petunias all at once began to grow. A few days ago I up potted my snaps into 2 inch pots in a few days getting big. My lovebird must have flung a sunflower seed in my tomato's. It's big in a 16 oz cup with a big bud😅. The weather is nuts was 68 degrees. Your a great teacher.
Nice job! 🤩 You will love honeywort! 💜 I’ve been growing globe thistle for years…be sure to cut every ball off before they go to seed…or you will have a thistle garden🫣😆 ask me how I know 😅
oh gosh! I will make sure to do that! :)
I pinched my snapdragons after watching your video last week and they are already showing side shoots after a few days!!!! I was sooo nervous to do it. Thank you so much!!
Awesome!
Love Honeywort. Last year was first time growing and quickly realized it doesn't like the heat. It is one of my favorite fillers. I had vases of just Honeywort everywhere. There are a few varieties available I am planning on trying. Can't wait to see how everything you are planning unfolds. 🌻
Good to know! Did you use it just in the early season for a filler?
@Sunshine & Flora yes here in Florida I only able to use it until the beginning of May when the heat started kicking in. I'm going to plant during fall to see if I can get a longer season out of it. You'll love it. So pretty 😍
I read another commenter mentioning rooting snapdragon cuttings…And yep, sure can! I tried it as an experiment this year and lost one of 12 that I tried. Now I’m trying to figure out where they’ll go, I’m out of room 😂
Yes I’ve seen that!
I’m growing Honeywort too for the first time.
My honeywort did really well in the beginning! Not realizing that they are cool flowers!!
So maybe this year I will start them earlier than before!
They don't like heat in zone 8b!
I have one of the dibbers too. I've started a lot of perennials this year too.
Hi, your little tool is a dibber 😊

Thanks!
That little tool you are using is called a dibber. 😊🌱
I just started my mignonette the other day and I noticed the packet said like 65% germination rate. I thought that was pretty low. I threw some extra seed in so we will see how it goes.
Does seem low!
I use a really expensive chop stick to use as my dibber!
Ha!
Ha ha me too!
Hi love your videos! How many snapdragonsplants do I need for to be able to pick and sell bouquet in the summer? So nervous have planted a lot a mounth ago but they are not growing so well! Now i have added some extra light what can i do more?
Totally depends but I did 3 - 72 trays my first year
How old where your snap dragons when you pinched? What day did you plant them?
They are probably about 8 weeks old. More importantly is how many sets of leaves they have. Some of mine have grown faster than others
Where did you get your Honeywort from? I got mine from Botanical Interests, and I only got 8 seeds. I was pretty disappointed bc I want to grow a lot more, plus the fact that they all may not germinate. I'm currently trying the paper towel method with them, and only 1 has germinated. It was 2 days ago, and there are no signs the others will germinate.😢 They are hard as a rock. I do have them under the light like I did my Bells of Ireland. My bells did so good I forgot about them, and they got too leggy before I could even plant them, so I started a new batch, and planted them but they looked sickly so I jut dumped all the seeds with and without starts on them covered them with soil and now their going gang busters.😅 My snaps are doing great, but they aren't even and inch yet. Some are getting their 1 set of true leaves, maybe even 2 sets, but I'm terrified to fertilize them. I don't want to destroy my hard work. I just feel they should be a lot bigger at this point. I did soil blocks this year, so they are in the tiny blocks. I went crazy and have like 400 plants of rocket, Potomac, madame butterfly, and Chantilly.😮 I'd be heartbroken bc it took 3 weeks to get where I'm at to only fry them. This is all new to me. I'm doing it to just have my own cut flowers. I want a jungle in my backyard. Everything you have is looking awesomeThank you for sharing.❤
Don’t get discouraged - you’ll get there! Trust me - I’ve lots lots of plants along the way! I ordered my homeywort from Johnnys and Floret. I have a lot of seed starting videos - check them out! Also read how to start the varieties on Johnnys website - lots of great info!
Are you planning on potting up these snaps or are they going directly into the ground?
They will go in the ground directly from those trays
Do you have any tips or suggestions for the germination of the Paradiso Mix Echinacea? I planted about 3/4 of my seeds but only got 2 to germinate. Hoping to get some info before I try the rest of the seeds.
I showed how I started them in one of my videos, but I used my grow lights, humidity dome and a heat mat
@@SunshineFlora Thank you - I will watch the other video -- love your videos
are your snapdragons super root bound? when mine get that big i find that they are super root bound in a 72 cell tray. will it hurt them at all?
Not yet
I have never tried honeywort. What did you do differently to get better Germination the 2nd time besides seeding heavily?
When I took it off the heat mat, it started to germinate better
@@SunshineFlora oh like the craspedia! Thanks
Hello Where did you purchase your globe thistle seeds from?
Select Seeds I think??
@@SunshineFlora thank you I'll take a look.
