Seed Talk #54 – 7 Cool Flowers Plus Tips for Growing in Tunnels, Part 2 – with Jonathan Leiss

Orlaya, Foxgloves, Godetia, Anemones & Ranunculus with Jonathan Leiss

Would you like to grow gorgeous godetia and orlaya flowers on taller plants with longer stems? Today, Layne is joined again by Jonathan Leiss of Spring Forth Farm to continue discussing the seven cool-season annual crops his farm will be growing next year and the advantages of growing these flowers in tunnels. Episode 53 (part 1) featured snapdragons and scabiosa ‘Fama’, and today’s episode (part 2) features the remaining five crops – orlaya, foxgloves, godetia, anemones, and ranunculus. Layne and Jonathan cover each crop’s significance, favorite varieties, differences growing in tunnels versus the field, plant spacing, succession planting, general bloom time, the expected number of stems per plant, harvesting tips, and more. Listen to the podcast and learn how to grow and harvest these five beautiful cool-season flowers, whether you grow in tunnels or in the field!
