Chelsea Chopping Perennials for Extended Flowering on the Flower Farm

If I didn’t live 4k miles away, I would be the lady with no impulse control buying up ALL your GORGEOUS bouquets. I’m getting you coffee because your videos are useful, inspiring and a joy to watch. I’ve made and used LAB, broad forked to great benefit, purchased and used worm castings, eagle-eyed microbes, and started a tiny 25’x35’ cut flower garden from seed. You mentioned your compost pile. A video on that would be oh sooo interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experiments, and all that goes along with that... Take care and have a happy day.

I had heard about the Chelsea Chop, but I had not seen it performed until this video. Good to know.

[@mindyrutkowski3124]

Thank you for the video I have just found your channel and I LOVE it!!! I can’t wait for the update on the lupines.

I have been puzzling from the other side of the world about what happens in Chelsea to call it a 'Chelsea chop'... rather relieved that it is the flower show!!!

[@itsmewende]

I always love a good experiment. Seeing how your plants do after being chopped, will be a great one.

[@TheGerswords]

I chopped lady’s mantel last year and they had a lovely late flowering worked really well.

[@jo-annpotter9389]

Yes! Chelsea Chop, pinch growing tips for bushiness, deadhead daily…plants respond well to abuse 😂

[@silencedflower8441]

You could have taken all of those sedums clippings, strip the bottom leaves and pop them right back into the ground. I just did a ton more of them. Do it every year and keep spreading them out.

[@lagrobler9412]

Those sedum cut offs also root very easily in water or even just pushed into the ground.

Phlox is great for the Chelsea chop, love your content, so helpful!! ❤️

[@daiseegray9110]

I’ve never done the Chelsea chop. Interesting 🌼🐝

[@kimiwaffles]

Loved the video!

[@alissaeyre8302]

I had my ladies' mantle rebloom last summer, after cutting it back, so you should be successful with that one! I think I'll try doing my lupine and see what happens! Thanks for the video.

[@deborahjohnston267]

That was interesting to watch. Chelsea chopped a small clump of Euphorbia - literally Chelsea week - so waiting to see how that works out.
Only have 3 young Mollis - started last year - so good to see how you tackled that. Think propagation first for me on those.
Hope it works magic on your lupins!

[@janetissabelle]

How did the alchemilla mollis experiment pan out? Would love to know,thank you.

[@suzannecerrone7110]

Hi Sarah. I have Chelsea chopped perennial mums and asters and have had great success. With the mums, it helped tremendously in keeping the stems from flopping over. It is amazing how the plants rebound like they were never even cut! A question, for a newly planted Lupin, if I leave the flowers on, will it reseed for more plants? TY

[@gardengirl7446]

Love alchamilla mollis! Please let us know if this works! Do you grow feverfew?

[@helenachase5627]

I succession sowing is overrated. But I live in zone 3b so we are lucky to get one flush. The smaller seedlings can be my succession sow. I do pinch them off as I'm planting because it's easy to do then and they have fewer roots and are stressed at that time

[@suewilson2550]

Loved the video. Just a thought, have you tried using a auger through your planting holes? Might save your back a bit. X

[@AJWGBFX]

I just got a garden auger this week to plant carrots started in compost filled toilet roll cardboards. Magic. I was using a small bulb planter, but it didn't quite have a big enough diameter. Bulb planters also make smoothed, compacted walls which can cause roots to circle. The auger churns up and down so the walls of the hole are not compacted.

🥰🥰💐

[@marialetaban6531]

Hi could you please show your astrantia plants? Thank you

[@helenevans3494]

Hya. I chelsea chop perenial phlox and nepeta ( cat mint).

[@achnix3167]

Could you support yourself completely just with flower business nowadays?
