I am in Dallas, TX. Where is best place to purchase cut flower seeds?
I have such trouble with Zinnia’s, the leaves dry up and look awful also they only last one day in a vase before drooping. 😕
Roses, dahlias, snapdragons, zinnias, cinnamon basil, hydrangeas. I’m also growing some foliage plants.
You are wonderful Amanda, i love all your videos! I learn so much every time.
I am a new gardener. I know nothing about growing flowers. I just brought so many flowers from baker creek. Wish me luck
Not a flower, but coleus is a fave. They do flower 😄, come in so many colors and leaf shapes. Great as filler and striking en mass in a vase. So easy to propagate 💚🌱
I live in zone 9a. I love to grow sweet peas, bachelor buttons, sunflowers and YES, zinnias in the summer!
Great video. You're getting me excited to start some indoor sowing. Thanks for all the inspiration ❤
Totally agree with Zinnias!! Can't get enough of them!! I grew sunflowers for the first time last year, ive got BIG plans for them this year!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Hi, Neighbor! I'm in Cedar Hill, TX (Zone 8b). I'm a beginner. I love the idea of growing cut flowers for myself and for gifting them. I can't wait to get started. I have a 12 ft x 3 ft space that receives full sun for 6-8+ hours. Do you think it'd be more budget friendly to grow in multiple large pots, or in ground with a brick border? (We plan on moving within 5 years after my husband retires.) BIG THANK YOU for sharing all of your knowledge and tips! 🥰
You are so uplifting. Thank you for these great words of advice. I can’t wait to begin my cut flower garden journey this year!💗🌻
Agree bring in my 1st grouping for a vase was a game changer!
Thank you for making it sound easy. I’ve been growing the starter cut flowers you mentioned for years and have just decided to go all out this year with some more challenging ones. I live in Plano, TX and am so happy to have found your channel recently for hyper-local cut flower gardening techniques!
I was so glad to hear that you feel the same way I feel about netting and stakes!! I also grow everything clothes together so they can support each other
Well now i understand!!! As a former florist, the interest is certainly natural. I am also a former floral designer, specializing in wedding bouquets. The cut flowers now make sense. Great pictures!! ⚾️
Great video!
Good content … Any suggestion where to buy seeds at wholesale price for bulk purchase
I was so happy to find this video. I am also in Texas zone 8a and most of the gardeners that I see growing cut flowers are not in our zone or they’re doing it on a massive scale. I just have my home backyard garden to grow in and I love cut flowers and was looking for some direction on how I could get started growing them. Thank you so much for your video. It was exactly what I was looking for!
Hi💏💏💏✌👏👍🎛🎚🎵💎🎓❤🎅all state Texas so super much more
I totally agree with you. That is exactly the reasons for me starting a cut flower garden. I used to decorate my local church with fresh flowers and I needed them to last at least 5 days or more. This changed my attitude about growing flowers. By the way, I am a female not a male as the name suggests.
A gateway drug for cut flowers!😂
Bought zinnias, sunflowers, sweet William, cosmos seeds. Wish me luck. Thank you. I'm from southern california
I love growing flowers in my yard for my enjoyment but would love suggestions for a few woody perennials that I can use for filler. I love in zone 9b along the texas gulf coast and haven’t had much luck finding information for things that would do well in my zone. Any suggestions or can you point me in the direction for good information? Thank you!
Very informative, thanks!
