Growing specific color palettes can be a great way to grow a cutting flower garden full of blooms that make beautiful bouquets! In today’s video, we give not just ONE, but FIVE different cut flower garden palettes and show the blooms that we used!
We source most of our seeds from Johnny’s Seeds, chrysanthemums from Bluestone Perennials, and dahlias from Arrowhead Dahlias.

Thank you so much for this video! I love your content so much ❤
Thank you for sharing these! I have realized that I am not as much of a creative person, but more of a copier of things that I like. I also love when you give the information on native plants and invasive species. The color of the flowers was more true when you had the flower on the table, as I think the light coming in the windows darkened it when you held them.
Beautiful flower arrangements!
LOVE ALL THE COLORS!! So gorgeous
Great information as always! I have never thought of growing goldenrod because I thought it was a invasive plant? It is quite beautiful!
I appreciate all of the time and forethought that went into making this video. Thank you!
I'm curious why you said you can't start mums from seed? I bought some seed this year from a reputable seed supplier and had over 90% germination.
We have similar taste in flowers! Chrysanthemum Homecoming is on my wishlist along with Chiffon. BTW, it's Queeny LEMON peach. 😉
This is brilliant, thank you
Love your style!
This was so helpful and fun! Starting my first cut flower garden. I live in Colorado too so appreciate all the drought tolerant native recommendations!
Great information!
You are so informative!! This was an awesome video, thank you for all your time.
Thanks for a really informative video. I have phlox Crème brûlée, Maides Blush and Moody blue this year and find them easier to germinate if you can cover with black plastic or a black lid of some sort. One of the varieties I had only 2 seeds germinated, had forgotten to get it pitch black, put a lid on and 3 days later (today, remembered to check when I saw your video 😬) there were 10 more germinated -yay!
Wow this was probably my favorite video I've watched of yours! So many great ideas! Thanks ❤
My phlox didn't germinate. I'm going to mush up the soil blocks and put them in a bag to see what happens
I hate to waste my seed dollars and I got mad and threw some out today
Amazing as usual ❤
I really enjoyed this video. All the plants are just beautiful – some of my favorites.
I love this video! I tried to have an entirely white garden but someone fell in love with blues and purples too so they suddenly appeared in my gardens. Very thorough and beautiful video!❤ Thank you so very much
I Love your channel so much! 💖
Regarding wool pellets for soil blocking, is it necessary to use them in pellet form? Is that for convenience or can sheep wool be cut up by hand and used the same way?
It means so much to me to learn from people like you – so enthusiastic to share all of these wonderful skills. Thank you! 🐿
Hello from England! Great video thank you, such beautiful flowers. I grew Zinnia’s and Phlox crème brûlée for the first time last year and they were amazing, even when we had the heatwave. I must try Lisianthus next. ❤
Hi, great video, I was wondering what you do about picking flowers with bugs in them, is there a trick that you use ?
Super cute! Thanks for the information. It made my day!
I hope when it gets time to take chrysanthemum cuttings you’ll show us how to propagate! I have several of the varieties you mentioned on order and can’t wait for blooms
Helpful with good advice. I used to grow in Austin, TX and now grow in Greenville, SC. It’s an adjustment to garden where it rains.
You are such a wealth of information, so easy to listen to, and you have such a lovely aesthetic! As a market gardener getting into flowers intentionally this year, I have really benefited from your videos! And I found you maybe a month or 2 ago!! Thank you for the amazing content. 💚💚💚🌱🌱🌱🌻🌻🌻
Could you make a video about seed saving? The more expensive but gorgeous varieties – I would love to be able to save seeds from as many varieties as possible to save money on the next year’s seed order. I do have organza bags of various sizes…maybe that’s all there is to it…but I bet you have much more wisdom you could share about it! 😊😊🌸
You're my newest favorite channel. I could talk flowers all day 😍
I've really wanted to try the Homecoming mum but have hesitated because most mums don't like our heavy clay soil and winter moisture in N MS, Zone 7B, even though I amend with organic matter. The Korean daisy-type mums (Clara Curtis, Sheffield) are the exception; they do very well here. Maybe I'll just put it in a special spot and give it a little pampering. Do you have a list of the flower varieties you mentioned? There are a couple I want to try next spring.
Thanks. I forgot to add in that we have extremely hot, humid nights in the summer, which doesn't help. All my beds are amended, too; I don't plant anything into straight clay. The single daisy flowered mums do much better than the traditional mum types for some reason.
I absolutely love this video! I tried to start lisianthus this year for the first time. Not one germinated. 😢 I did not try soil blocks though. I will try again next year with soil blocks and see how I do. I’m in Montana zone 4a. I think I will try the rest of the peachy pink color blend though! Love your videos!!!!
I appreciate this video. Every time I shop for flower seeds online, I tend to go overboard and order basically anything that catches my eye. 😂 This gives me a list and has everything that matches for a cohesive colorful bouquet.
So interesting.
I loved all these blends! Thank you for putting this together for us 💐
This is such a great video. I’m sure it took a lot of time to prepare. Thank you!
Thank you for this inspirational video! The pictures of the bucketed color-themed flowers took my breath away😍 I’m heading into my cut-flower gardening year 3, and this year’s goal is to create a color palette I like and enjoy growing for the future years. How handy this video comes along! (Not a creative person either, echoing the other comments😂
This was one of the most informative and useful cut flower videos I've seen. Thank you so much for making it. It's a game changer.
