I've been gardening organically for many years but found so much useful information from your videos. Happened to grow more flowers this past year and now I'm hooked! I found your video on the pumpkin fairy houses and am going to make these with my granddaughter when she visits next week. Thank you for these wonderful videos, and your garden is just amazingly gorgeous!
I’m not a flower farmer but how you covered this topic is the most descriptive of any channel I follow. You could teach several of the growers here on YT as I’ve watched their comments on many of the flowers you covered. Thank you so much!
This was one of the most comprehensive and instructional videos on cool season flowers I have ever seen. You are a natural teacher Danielle and I took notes all the way through. I'm in a temperate climate in NZ and I Fall seeded quite a few things earlier this year which are racing away now spring is here. I took your advice about putting my Larkspur in the freezer and I noticed last week I've had success with germination. Thanks so much for such a wonderful tutorial Danielle. Take care :)
I live in Dekalb county Alabama 7b. I live on top of Sand Mountain which is a fairly flat plateau with hilly areas. We have the enjoyment of not having to cut on air conditioning as early as those who live in the valley's of NE Alabama or southern Alabama. We usually have a constant breeze up until last of June or first part of July. We get plenty of rainfall here but we have had droughts on rare occasions. Our humidity hits around late June or July and it's a regular thing to have thunderstorms pop up then. I have always direct sown my sweet William. Actually I direct sowed my sweet William over 15 years ago and I have never had to sow it again because it self seeds prolific here for me. I have direct sown more in other flower beds from my first original bed of seed. Once I direct sow it I never have to sow it again. Bachelor buttons also I direct seeded at a previous property and they would self seed prolific. Balsam (touch me nots) and four o clocks all do the same once direct sown. Foxglove will do the same for me but it has to be in a part shade to dapple shade area with loose soil. Aquilegia likes same conditions as foxglove for me and is also prolific selfseeder. At my previous property I grew the opium poppy and was shocked how well they grew for me. Our soil here is slightly acidic but we don't have that thick red clay like most of the areas of Alabama. Our soil is a darker clay that is easily amended with compost. I have no issue over wintering my big elephant ears right in the ground. I just place an upside down flower pot over the area where the bulb is buried. I never knew you could leave dahlias in the ground here until a friend of mine grew some and said they come back every year for him. I will be moving soon and my new garden is going to have a lot more plants that I have stayed away from because I did not want to dig them up every fall. God bless hope this helps someone.. 😊😊😊😊😊
I am curious, how do you find weed control with all your self seeding plants? Are you flower farming? I wonder if it is more weeding work than turning the bed in, and replanting, whether direct sown, or transplants, w mulch film. I have not tried either on thus property. I am planning to grow cut flowers for income, and I am thinking about past experience with some of the flowers you mentioned. Foxglove, Black Eyed Susan many varieties, Coleus, Forget me nots, even a little Snapdragon.
Its funny that you mentioned the Bells of Ireland smell. I love it and the closes thing I can relate the smell to would be "apple mint". That's the best way I can describe it.
Was going to gush about your great advice but I see everyone is as impressed and inspired as I am, so I'll keep this short as possible. I planted 8 linear feet of Sweet Pea seeds outdoors in the fall( zone 9B, Bay area California), They grew very slowly and spindly through the winter and I could not get them to climb the trellis. After an unusually wet winter here, they took off in April and are now a thick wall 7-9 feet tall loaded with so many beautiful blooms that I can' pick them fast enough to slow them down. Yesterday I picked 300 and it didn't make a dent. Our home smells lovely. And the Orlaya I planted in the foreground pairs perfectly in the vases with their umbrella like white blooms. I would send you a picture of my "flower wall" but I can't figure out how to attach one. I haven't seen the blue and black Nigella flowers that I planted with the Orlaya although they are the same height as the Orlaya but no flowers yet. Oh, and the Tetra Giant Snapdragons that you said would grow bigger and stronger in my area have exceeded their package height of 3-5 feet tall with flower spikes 3/8" in diameter and 5-6 ft tall.... Beautiful! The Cool Flowers book is now available on Amazon so I am waiting for delivery. What a great resource and thank you for the knowledge and inspiration to attempt growing in a way that I never would have thought possible.
Excellent video, Danielle. I'm in Zone 9B Southern California, and I'm excited about the idea of being able to Fall plant these flowers. I really appreciate your positive, supportive approach.
Suggestion for Sweet William, try a winter sow. I use a milk jug, start in February and have great success here in Northern CT, also a zone 6B. And like straw flowers, the Dollar Store sells packets of "Tall Double Mixed Colors" 4 for $1!
After my first year through cool flowers, the information you’ve shared is invaluable! I am in your zone, 6b, and your experiences are exactly as I have seen in the flowers I have grown. Thank you for taking the time to work through the details of Cool Flowers. 🌸 Just as you noted, it is especially helpful to gardeners to hear the experiences from a different zone. I really enjoyed this video!!! 😁
That peachy digitalis image at the beginning of the video is just... no adjective worthy to express how impressive. You captured in one image the essence of the fruit of digitalis, I see abundance, rich rich color and exquisite beauty. Well done capturing that image.
I've been waiting all season since you talked about cool flowers the last time! It almost feels like the start of the growing season when most think it's the end 😊 Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos and I bought the book!
Hi Danielle, and others, Im from New Zealand, Southland . Iv never been able to Subscribed before, as i watch you on my T.V , But now, i can watch you on my pink little apple. and T.V , I love what you show, and ask peoples , what do you think. I know this morning, you were showing your mum and dad, place, tell your dad, Tell, or ask dad, has he ever seen Rod Steward Train collection. His is not like your dad, His is inside, but, man, Id love to see it, in person one day, But i still think your dad is pretty cool as welI, love how his is and runs around his garden. I havent had time to watch it yet, by the start of the program, I see , where you get your love for gardening,
Danielle thank you for all this good information as I will use it. You have me so excited about my Gardens. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. 🙂💚🦋
I'm in Zone 5b (Southern Michigan) so have missed the date to get cool flowers going here but will be organized for next. I winter sow all the flowers that Danielle talked about in February successfully in containers on my deck and then transplant to my garden in the Spring. I've been happy with this method but it would cut down on a lot of work to sow directly in the garden in the Fall, and of course have earlier blooms with lovely established roots systems in the Spring. Great video, Danielle! So very informative and love how deep you dived into the subject!
@@letstalkgardeningwithrobin HI Robin. I have had good results winter container sowing in my Michigan Z5b climate with everything from perennials, biennials, herbs and veggie seeds. I always start my fave perennial seeds like poppy, columbine, Nigella, larkspur, snapdragon, rudbeckia, etc in this way. In the last few years I have tried herbs and veg and am now doing tomato varieties that I can't find in the nurseries with great success. The seeds just sit there protected in their mini greenhouses til the weather permits sprouting. My fave containers are deep so I use two Costco roasted chicken lids together and the large salad green containers. I have found that tomatoes like to be transplanted pretty soon after they get going and I order the cheap cloth grow bags online. Its been some time aince i watched this video so maybe you were looking more for direct sowing advice? I haven't done much direct sowing yet ( except after last frost date of annuals) but nature does with some of my perennials anyway. I think if you don't mind the messy look of containers on your deck or kind hide them, using containers is perfect in our zone. It gets us gardening without all the time & expense & space needed for an indoor grow station. I always think of it as an experiment so I'm willing to try any seed this way. The investment is small, it's fun, and I'm always left amazed at how often I have success. Hope this helps and good luck!
@@april091965 Thanks for the information. I understand how to winter sow but wonder when exactly in our zone do you start your snapdragons? March? April? or now in February
Absolutely informative and comprehensive! I’m taking notes and pulling out my cool flowers book too!!! Thank you too for sharing your top 5. These are the exact things we need to hear and learn! Thank you Danielle 💚
I'm so glad you made this video! I literally said "YES!" I've been researching cool flowers ever since I heard about it from you and I got the book, "Cool Flowers" from my library, but I'm a visual learner so this is great. I also watch Gardener's World and they were talking about this same topic. It's amazing... I'm definitely gonna give this a go this fall. Thank you so much for all the information and inspiration you give us on this channel 🙂
You are a fabulous educator!! I love how forthcoming you are with your experiences, I learn so much from your videos. Watching from central FL zone 9b, this is my first cool flower season trial. You have given me the inspiration, thank you!!
I'm in zone 9A and grew a few of these flowers last year and they did great. The bachelor buttons looked amazing. I am growing several of the flowers listed in the book this year for the first time and was very excited when Danielle said how easy nigella is to grow and am looking forward to see those.
Love this Danielle! I fall sowed some larkspur, pincushion and bachelor's buttons last year and they were 4 feet tall this year! I was so surprised and pleased that they did so well! Thanks for always giving us such great advice! 💜
After watching this video, I now understand why I didn't have any luck with the Sweet William this year. I definitely will give some of these cold hardy annuals a try next year... I think I am probably too late for zone 6a. Thanks for the informative video.
Really enjoyed your video Danielle ! I am trying cool flowers for the first time this fall in Central Texas (zone 9--quite a bit different than you in Pennsylvania!!!!) but have been listening to lots of videos and doing some reading so I hope I select the correct flowers to start with my first year. I agree with Jacinta Higgins who commented a year ago about you being a natural with teaching and coaching gardeners. Keep up the great work! 🌷🌻🌸🌺🌼🥀
Was looking for some ideas to plant fall bulbs. This lady has so much info. She seems to have a degree on the subject. She is such a gorgeous lady too. Wow!
I watched your last year year’s video about cold hardy annuals and this fall I’m direct sowing a few of your favorites. Last year, I didn’t know about sowing these seeds in the fall but my spring sowed and dara bloomed so beautifully in the summer. So amazing. Thank you for the information. I love your videos very much.
I am an in zone 10b, we do not have any frost ( actually it happened once in 40 years) so cool annuals and tender perennials are a great idea. From some experience and mostly from what I have read some of these flowers can bloom into late spring if they bloom before Christmas. My self sowers will grow in size and wait until March to bloom. Johnny seeds has some information… they called it the Persephone date (I think) the last day we have 10 hours of daylight. So, in frost free areas latitude matters. I would use this date as a frost date, since we don’t have one. I hope this is helpful to zones 10-11.
Thank you for this very informative video. Your gardens are absolutely beautiful. I truly enjoy touring your gardens online and look forward to your garden for 2023. Keep up the great work!
I live in 5A/5B in the mountains so I have missed the Fall planting as we are still putting the garden together. SO very thankful for you and your videos.
Great information! Thank you so much for this video! 💝 I'm in 5b and had an accidental fall sown bachelor's button pop up in my garden this summer. That one plant was so much hardier than all my other bachelor's buttons. It produced twice the amount of blooms and didn't need staking. 🤩
@@tomjones2157 sadly no. I didn't look into how to harvest seeds from bachelor's button. But It did make me realize the benefit of fall sowing for hardy annuals. This summer, If I did things right, I should have a few plants that were started last summer as well. 🤞
Your bouquets amazing. To be honest, some on yt are great flowergardeners but they do not have an eye for florist art. From glimps I see you have a beautiful home interior as well as an elegant garden. You are something else. Keeping standards high.
I live in WNY Great Lake region. 6a. I found your video last winter. I started flowers indoors for early spring.. I planted in a new bed under a old tree. They didn't do so well.. everything is stunted.. then the rodents came in and chopped some and chomped leaves off.. The straw flowers ate very tall but a good foot from grown leaves are missing.. I didn't find it worth it for me. I planted fox gloves a few years ago that said it took two years and got them glowering the first year.. same with lupine. I have a Lupine flowering now in August. It was under cover in m lettuce patch ... I did have about 11 ranunculus grow beautifully this year thanks to you videos on them !
I live in north central Texas letting larkspur, poppies and dill self seed when I pull them out, except the dill is Winter hardy too. I leave dill for the catapillars too.
Great video as usual! I was failing of growing Bells of Ireland for a couple of seasons but was never giving up on them. So I was so determined to to have them in my garden and what I did for the last two seasons was putting the seeds that require stratification on wet paper towel then fold it and place them into the ziplocked bag and freeze for a couple of weeks. After a couple of weeks I place ziplocked bag on the counter away from direct sunlight and check them every two to three days. After usually five days sometimes a week 95% of seeds germinate and you can carefully plant them. I'm telling you that method works excellent for all the seeds (even for those that do not need stratification just do not place them into freezer). The seedlings are happy and healthy. Besides no worries on wasting potting mix and space under the growing lights.
I was looking for a comment like this thanks😊 . I figured they might need a little coaxing out of their shell when she was explaining the seed to me. So don't cold stratification just paper towel trick no light!
I was also hoping to find a post like this, I am so determined to have them in my garden. I did a similar trick with lavender and rosemary seeds. I put them into damp soil seed tray then into the freezer for a couple of weeks and it worked! Very high germination rate. I also tried Cypress vine many times with no luck until I saw someone clip the end with nail clippers then put them in damp paper towel. I tried it and it worked! Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences, I hope mine can also help spread the joy
Hi I’m in The UK I have a Balcony on the Seafront so wind is a Huge issue the Plants get Burnt by the Wind there’s not really the room for A Green House the little Pop up Tunnels get blown away and damage Neighbourhood Cars this was my first year Growing Flowers I invested in all Perennials I’m just just Putting them all to bed with lots of Mulch and Taking Clones of my Favourite Plants in my indoor Garden 😅Thanks for all of the Knowledge !
Thank you so much for sharing! I’m not a flower farmer but I adapt this for my home garden. I did buy the book a while back because you recommended it. I enjoy watching your videos so much.
Danielle, being in Glen Rock Pennsylvania-southern York County near the Maryland Line- I SOOOOO very much appreciate your generous sharing of all the garden knowledge you acquire. I thank you.
In Boise Idaho I have Delphinium as a perennial. We are quite dry, but use sprinklers for watering from mid spring, summer and into fall. We have very little rain. It stays perennial and I rarely lose any plants over the winter.
Fan.tas.tic video at the perfect time for my WA state Zone 6b garden. First frost Oct 15ish. Just put my toe into the water of cut flowers this year. Was a little late for cool flowers but am ready this fall. Woo hoo! Can't wait to DO THIS! 💪🏼👏🏼👊🏼😎
It's so nice to have you to learn about cutflowers from. I've been veggei & flower gardening a long time, but not with cut flowers or more specifically cool flowers. & our climates are similar whereas a lot of other channels have much different climates. We get an average of 66 inches of rain per year, have cold winters & hot summers also.
You are AMAZING!! I'm a 3rd year flower farmer and I use your videos as a tool when I struggle or need a refresher. I'm collecting seeds in the next few weeks, if I have any corn cockle I'll send it out to you. I'm in Z5 and I LOVED it, it added an amazing airy element to my bouquets. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge Danielle!
Great video - really interesting to compare to how I do things in the UK. You're growing, what I would class as Biennials, in the same way as Hardy annuals and it clearly works out just fine for you. I sow Biennials like Dara, Foxgloves and Sweet Williams in late June, grow them on in pots and then plant out in October once they are substantial young plants. I also sow some Hardy Annuals in September but they go into a cold frame or unheated green house to over-winter and then get planted out in spring. I'm pretty sure if I planted out my hardy annuals in October whilst they were still very small they'd all get eaten by slugs and snails or just rot over winter in my heavy clay soil.
Great video! I am inspired to try more cool flowers. I have gardened for years on a terrace in downtown NYC (7b) but recently bought a second home in the Hudson Valley (6b). I love Sweet William and it re-seeds all over my 7b terrace. I took a clump out to the 6b garden and am crossing my fingers! Dill and nigella also re-seed on the terrace. I've tried winter sowing poppies on the terrace and they have germinated fine but I don't have enough sun to keep them going. Never, ever had any luck with delphiniums -- those beautiful stands in English gardens are so seductive! No luck with sweet peas either, but maybe that is lack of full sun for more than a couple of hours a day. I am placing a seed order today for some of the flowers you discussed to make a cool flower cutting garden on the 6b property. PS, I am retired, kids are grown and I can finally spend more time gardening which is why I bought a place in the country. I used to work very long hours and would do the terrace gardening by floodlight at night after dinner, homework supervision, responding to client emails, etc. Thanks again for the very informative videos.
Loved this! I now know what people are talking about when I hear. Cool Flowers!Thank you,I’m ordering my book tonight. Hope I still have time to plant some! I’ve been planting perennials I got on sale from a big box store.
Nice necklace.! I just pulled my book out the other day to get started on what I want to direct sow, I'll be following your lead. I'm in 7 on the shore in Maryland, which we should be moved to 8 in my opinion. I'm going to try over wintering everything, I seen Jenny Love over winters her Dahlias, I think she's zone 5, thinking I should be ok.
I absolutely love watching your videos, they always pop up and I just realized I wasn’t subscribed 😮 you’re in my zone, your weather is very much like mine (Missouri 6B), and I appreciate you so much!
Very good to see you're back doing your videos. One thing that I was confused about after reading Lisa's book was her term "sowing" which to me meant sowing seeds into the soil but I think she also uses that term when she plants the small plants such as in the spring. Always appreciate your information. I am in zone 6B but in the Rocky Mountain region. I did have Lambada that self sowed from some last year that were in a container and they came up this spring in a very dry, gravel pathway in the raised bed area so they are hardy and might self seed in other areas too. This spring also planted some sea holly, they are doing well and hope to see them bloom next year.
Thank you for all the detailed information! I realize I’m a couple years late in watching this 😆 but I just came across it while doing searches as I start my own little flower garden endeavor. I appreciate your honesty and knowledge of the subject matter, thanks again! 💚
Love your videos! I know you are very knowledgeable and help me and others a lot. Also you are correct about Dill. As a Texas Master Gardener, we were taught to encourage planting Dill and Fennel as a host plant for caterpillars/butterflies. I sporadically plant seeds or transplants throughout my garden. They are great plants to help provide safer shelters and nourishment. Thank you again for taking time to make your videos. Stay safe and well. 😊💐
Thanks so much, Daniella. I've watched lots of videos on fall-sowing, and I have a number of books that describe it (including 'Cool Flowers') - but your video somehow connected all the dots for me, and has given me the confidence I need going forward. I'm itching for Autumn - after three years of not being ready or able to fall sow my hardy annuals (beds not prepped, busy with newborns, etc), I have a good feeling that this is the year! I have my first patch of Feverfew flowering in my New Zealand garden right now, and will be watching with interest to see how it behaves when I treat it as a perennial going into next season. As far as Foxgloves go, I only grew the Dalmatian variety this season, which, like the Foxy series, doesn't require vernalisation. They are beautiful, and I am planning to try some 'wilderness zones' on our property, to see if two years of sowing lots of Foxglove varieties will self-sow and sustain itself into the future.
Yay, I’ve been looking forward to this video. You encouraged me to grow more from seed this growing season which really diversified my garden. Fall sowing cool weather annuals is a new concept for me. I’m excited to give it a try, thanks for all the helpful information. Great video!
Hey, Danielle, thank you so very much for sharing with us so much great information on "Cool Flowers". I live in Billings, Montana, a zone 4B. Our first frost is usually September 10th or 15th and our last frost is May 15th or 25th. We are an arid climate. We do not get much rain or humidity. We can get down into the -20's in the winter and over 100 in the summer. I started growing flowers last year for the first time to make bouquets for neighbors and friends but would like to try selling them at a farm stand like yours along my fairly traveled road outside my house. I can't imagine sowing seeds her to overwinter. I would love to know if anyone has had success overwintering in a zone 4b. Thanks so much for your beautiful smile and your love for gardening. I have been encouraged so much.
I have watched your garden develop for years. Your a professional. I have a large flower garden out front that gets a lot of attention. Zone 9b and it's 105* degrees out. Next year there are flowers I will stop growing because of the heat. Many flowers self seed for me and chartreuse feverfew is one. I am looking forward to the fall planting.
Thank you so much for all of this amazing info. Love the ending how you showed how you sow your seeds. I bought Lisa’s book lol. Thank you Oh. I’m just a home gardener but have never grown from seed and never really had a cut flower garden. But hope to get it going in my new Texas home 🌸
You were asking about delphiniums: I live on Vancouver Island, off the West Coast of Canada and north of Seattle, Washington Delphiniums pretty much grow wild here at side of the highways, along with daffodils and other 'garden flowers'. We are in either zone 7 or 8 depending on how far north on the Island. And it rains, it pours, throughout the winter months as well as the occasional snow event depending on how far north on the Island. Thought you would like to know.
I missed this soooooo important video that I needed as I quit my job of 20 years and a bad case of shingles from the stress of it all. I bought the 📖 last summer per your suggestion. This video is what I needed to fully understand it before. I have a hard time Lisa's channel as it is very focused on flower farming. 🌼 Thank you so much!

This was one of the most comprehensive and instructional videos on cool season flowers I have ever seen. You are a natural teacher Danielle and I took notes all the way through. I'm in a temperate climate in NZ and I Fall seeded quite a few things earlier this year which are racing away now spring is here. I took your advice about putting my Larkspur in the freezer and I noticed last week I've had success with germination. Thanks so much for such a wonderful tutorial Danielle. Take care :)
😊p😊
HI , Jacint , Im also from New Zealand , Southland , Danielie a cool lady,
Wow learned so much I am 76 years old and now I get it she explained it so well.
Thank You from Poland 🙋♀️I try your topic this year
I live in Dekalb county Alabama 7b. I live on top of Sand Mountain which is a fairly flat plateau with hilly areas. We have the enjoyment of not having to cut on air conditioning as early as those who live in the valley's of NE Alabama or southern Alabama. We usually have a constant breeze up until last of June or first part of July. We get plenty of rainfall here but we have had droughts on rare occasions. Our humidity hits around late June or July and it's a regular thing to have thunderstorms pop up then. I have always direct sown my sweet William. Actually I direct sowed my sweet William over 15 years ago and I have never had to sow it again because it self seeds prolific here for me. I have direct sown more in other flower beds from my first original bed of seed. Once I direct sow it I never have to sow it again. Bachelor buttons also I direct seeded at a previous property and they would self seed prolific. Balsam (touch me nots) and four o clocks all do the same once direct sown. Foxglove will do the same for me but it has to be in a part shade to dapple shade area with loose soil. Aquilegia likes same conditions as foxglove for me and is also prolific selfseeder. At my previous property I grew the opium poppy and was shocked how well they grew for me. Our soil here is slightly acidic but we don't have that thick red clay like most of the areas of Alabama. Our soil is a darker clay that is easily amended with compost. I have no issue over wintering my big elephant ears right in the ground. I just place an upside down flower pot over the area where the bulb is buried. I never knew you could leave dahlias in the ground here until a friend of mine grew some and said they come back every year for him. I will be moving soon and my new garden is going to have a lot more plants that I have stayed away from because I did not want to dig them up every fall. God bless hope this helps someone.. 😊😊😊😊😊
I am curious, how do you find weed control with all your self seeding plants? Are you flower farming? I wonder if it is more weeding work than turning the bed in, and replanting, whether direct sown, or transplants, w mulch film. I have not tried either on thus property.

Its funny that you mentioned the Bells of Ireland smell. I love it and the closes thing I can relate the smell to would be "apple mint". That's the best way I can describe it.
I still don't know why you don't have more subs. You are so knowledgeable, especially to us beginners.
Thanks , you have made it reassuring of what I am planting this fall
Was going to gush about your great advice but I see everyone is as impressed and inspired as I am, so I'll keep this short as possible. I planted 8 linear feet of Sweet Pea seeds outdoors in the fall( zone 9B, Bay area California), They grew very slowly and spindly through the winter and I could not get them to climb the trellis. After an unusually wet winter here, they took off in April and are now a thick wall 7-9 feet tall loaded with so many beautiful blooms that I can' pick them fast enough to slow them down. Yesterday I picked 300 and it didn't make a dent. Our home smells lovely. And the Orlaya I planted in the foreground pairs perfectly in the vases with their umbrella like white blooms. I would send you a picture of my "flower wall" but I can't figure out how to attach one. I haven't seen the blue and black Nigella flowers that I planted with the Orlaya although they are the same height as the Orlaya but no flowers yet. Oh, and the Tetra Giant Snapdragons that you said would grow bigger and stronger in my area have exceeded their package height of 3-5 feet tall with flower spikes 3/8" in diameter and 5-6 ft tall.... Beautiful! The Cool Flowers book is now available on Amazon so I am waiting for delivery. What a great resource and thank you for the knowledge and inspiration to attempt growing in a way that I never would have thought possible.
Excellent video, Danielle. I'm in Zone 9B Southern California, and I'm excited about the idea of being able to Fall plant these flowers. I really appreciate your positive, supportive approach.
Suggestion for Sweet William, try a winter sow. I use a milk jug, start in February and have great success here in Northern CT, also a zone 6B. And like straw flowers, the Dollar Store sells packets of "Tall Double Mixed Colors" 4 for $1!
After my first year through cool flowers, the information you’ve shared is invaluable! I am in your zone, 6b, and your experiences are exactly as I have seen in the flowers I have grown. Thank you for taking the time to work through the details of Cool Flowers. 🌸 Just as you noted, it is especially helpful to gardeners to hear the experiences from a different zone. I really enjoyed this video!!! 😁
You put it so well 😊
Thank you for the information. Also thank you for the photos of the bouquets they are beautiful and so artistic.
I’m a first year gardener and had SO many questions. Thank you so much for this video. 💕
Really, really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much. I want to learn as much as I can. Looking forward to growing cool flowers. ❤❤❤
That peachy digitalis image at the beginning of the video is just... no adjective worthy to express how impressive. You captured in one image the essence of the fruit of digitalis, I see abundance, rich rich color and exquisite beauty. Well done capturing that image.
I've been waiting all season since you talked about cool flowers the last time! It almost feels like the start of the growing season when most think it's the end 😊 Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos and I bought the book!
Your content is TOP NOTCH! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Perfect timing 👌
Hi Danielle, and others, Im from New Zealand, Southland . Iv never been able to Subscribed before, as i watch you on my T.V , But now, i can watch you on my pink little apple. and T.V , I love what you show, and ask peoples , what do you think. I know this morning, you were showing your mum and dad, place, tell your dad, Tell, or ask dad, has he ever seen Rod Steward Train collection. His is not like your dad, His is inside, but, man, Id love to see it, in person one day, But i still think your dad is pretty cool as welI, love how his is and runs around his garden. I havent had time to watch it yet, by the start of the program, I see , where you get your love for gardening,
Danielle thank you for all this good information as I will use it. You have me so excited about my Gardens. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. 🙂💚🦋
Thanks for your knowledge. I love my flowers. Zone 5
Thanks for a great video! Anne
I'm in Zone 5b (Southern Michigan) so have missed the date to get cool flowers going here but will be organized for next. I winter sow all the flowers that Danielle talked about in February successfully in containers on my deck and then transplant to my garden in the Spring. I've been happy with this method but it would cut down on a lot of work to sow directly in the garden in the Fall, and of course have earlier blooms with lovely established roots systems in the Spring. Great video, Danielle! So very informative and love how deep you dived into the subject!
I am also in 5B but here in CT. I am winter sowing for the first time but not sure which flowers to start when? Any help is appreciated.
@@letstalkgardeningwithrobin HI Robin. I have had good results winter container sowing in my Michigan Z5b climate with everything from perennials, biennials, herbs and veggie seeds. I always start my fave perennial seeds like poppy, columbine, Nigella, larkspur, snapdragon, rudbeckia, etc in this way. In the last few years I have tried herbs and veg and am now doing tomato varieties that I can't find in the nurseries with great success. The seeds just sit there protected in their mini greenhouses til the weather permits sprouting. My fave containers are deep so I use two Costco roasted chicken lids together and the large salad green containers. I have found that tomatoes like to be transplanted pretty soon after they get going and I order the cheap cloth grow bags online. Its been some time aince i watched this video so maybe you were looking more for direct sowing advice? I haven't done much direct sowing yet ( except after last frost date of annuals) but nature does with some of my perennials anyway. I think if you don't mind the messy look of containers on your deck or kind hide them, using containers is perfect in our zone. It gets us gardening without all the time & expense & space needed for an indoor grow station. I always think of it as an experiment so I'm willing to try any seed this way. The investment is small, it's fun, and I'm always left amazed at how often I have success. Hope this helps and good luck!
@@april091965 Thanks for the information. I understand how to winter sow but wonder when exactly in our zone do you start your snapdragons? March? April? or now in February
@@letstalkgardeningwithrobin I start my snaps now, in Feb.
This is everything I’ve ever wanted!!! You explain this soo well! I’ve been so confused. Thank you!
I will watch this video over and over! Tysm!! Very helpful! ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely informative and comprehensive! I’m taking notes and pulling out my cool flowers book too!!! Thank you too for sharing your top 5. These are the exact things we need to hear and learn! Thank you Danielle 💚
I'm so glad you made this video! I literally said "YES!" I've been researching cool flowers ever since I heard about it from you and I got the book, "Cool Flowers" from my library, but I'm a visual learner so this is great. I also watch Gardener's World and they were talking about this same topic. It's amazing... I'm definitely gonna give this a go this fall. Thank you so much for all the information and inspiration you give us on this channel 🙂
You are a fabulous educator!! I love how forthcoming you are with your experiences, I learn so much from your videos. Watching from central FL zone 9b, this is my first cool flower season trial. You have given me the inspiration, thank you!!
I'm in zone 9A and grew a few of these flowers last year and they did great. The bachelor buttons looked amazing. I am growing several of the flowers listed in the book this year for the first time and was very excited when Danielle said how easy nigella is to grow and am looking forward to see those.
Love this Danielle! I fall sowed some larkspur, pincushion and bachelor's buttons last year and they were 4 feet tall this year! I was so surprised and pleased that they did so well! Thanks for always giving us such great advice! 💜
you are a very talented florist!
I'm in Philadelphia and surprisingly my dollar store seed delphinium came back this year ! I'm a hobby gardener
After watching this video, I now understand why I didn't have any luck with the Sweet William this year. I definitely will give some of these cold hardy annuals a try next year... I think I am probably too late for zone 6a. Thanks for the informative video.
Thanks for this video. I’m so interested in this topic. Keep up the great work, Danielle.
Wish UA-cam gave us a Love option because I love this!!! Thank you so much.
Really enjoyed your video Danielle ! I am trying cool flowers for the first time this fall in Central Texas (zone 9--quite a bit different than you in Pennsylvania!!!!) but have been listening to lots of videos and doing some reading so I hope I select the correct flowers to start with my first year. I agree with Jacinta Higgins who commented a year ago about you being a natural with teaching and coaching gardeners. Keep up the great work! 🌷🌻🌸🌺🌼🥀
Thank you soooooo much, this is so helpful 😍😘!!!
I have referenced page 138 so often it's a little worn!
Was looking for some ideas to plant fall bulbs. This lady has so much info. She seems to have a degree on the subject. She is such a gorgeous lady too. Wow!
I watched your last year year’s video about cold hardy annuals and this fall I’m direct sowing a few of your favorites. Last year, I didn’t know about sowing these seeds in the fall but my spring sowed and dara bloomed so beautifully in the summer. So amazing. Thank you for the information. I love your videos very much.
I am an in zone 10b, we do not have any frost ( actually it happened once in 40 years) so cool annuals and tender perennials are a great idea. From some experience and mostly from what I have read some of these flowers can bloom into late spring if they bloom before Christmas. My self sowers will grow in size and wait until March to bloom. Johnny seeds has some information… they called it the Persephone date (I think) the last day we have 10 hours of daylight. So, in frost free areas latitude matters. I would use this date as a frost date, since we don’t have one. I hope this is helpful to zones 10-11.
thank you very much, that was very helpful!
Very helpful to this 10a gardener!!
I’m just over here watching this again. Thanks Danielle 🎉❤
No worries about being negative your being honest and that's what us newbies need. Thank you
So interesting and helpful, I was watching this with my “ Cool Flowers” book in hand!
Great information. Thank you for sharing your experience with these cool flowers.
Great informative video. Thank you.
Thank you for this very informative video. Your gardens are absolutely beautiful. I truly enjoy touring your gardens online and look forward to your garden for 2023. Keep up the great work!
I live in 5A/5B in the mountains so I have missed the Fall planting as we are still putting the garden together. SO very thankful for you and your videos.
Great information!
Thank you so much for this video! 💝
I'm in 5b and had an accidental fall sown bachelor's button pop up in my garden this summer. That one plant was so much hardier than all my other bachelor's buttons. It produced twice the amount of blooms and didn't need staking. 🤩
Wow did you take seed from this hardy one??
@@tomjones2157 sadly no. I didn't look into how to harvest seeds from bachelor's button. But It did make me realize the benefit of fall sowing for hardy annuals. This summer, If I did things right, I should have a few plants that were started last summer as well. 🤞
thanks for all your expertise info. Your arrangements are exquisite.
Your bouquets amazing. To be honest, some on yt are great flowergardeners but they do not have an eye for florist art. From glimps I see you have a beautiful home interior as well as an elegant garden. You are something else. Keeping standards high.
I live in WNY Great Lake region. 6a. I found your video last winter. I started flowers indoors for early spring.. I planted in a new bed under a old tree. They didn't do so well.. everything is stunted.. then the rodents came in and chopped some and chomped leaves off.. The straw flowers ate very tall but a good foot from grown leaves are missing.. I didn't find it worth it for me. I planted fox gloves a few years ago that said it took two years and got them glowering the first year.. same with lupine. I have a Lupine flowering now in August. It was under cover in m lettuce patch ...
I did have about 11 ranunculus grow beautifully this year thanks to you videos on them !
Heard 6b and subscribed… northern Maryland here .. used to be 6b.. but now typically 7a. Happy planting.👋
I love your channel! You have a beautiful garden. 🙏🏻🙌🏻
I live in north central Texas letting larkspur, poppies and dill self seed when I pull them out, except the dill is Winter hardy too. I leave dill for the catapillars too.
Bells of Ireland are my arch Nemesis! I understand!!
I'm not giving up
Great video as usual! I was failing of growing Bells of Ireland for a couple of seasons but was never giving up on them. So I was so determined to to have them in my garden and what I did for the last two seasons was putting the seeds that require stratification on wet paper towel then fold it and place them into the ziplocked bag and freeze for a couple of weeks. After a couple of weeks I place ziplocked bag on the counter away from direct sunlight and check them every two to three days. After usually five days sometimes a week 95% of seeds germinate and you can carefully plant them. I'm telling you that method works excellent for all the seeds (even for those that do not need stratification just do not place them into freezer). The seedlings are happy and healthy. Besides no worries on wasting potting mix and space under the growing lights.
I was looking for a comment like this thanks😊 . I figured they might need a little coaxing out of their shell when she was explaining the seed to me. So don't cold stratification just paper towel trick no light!
I was also hoping to find a post like this, I am so determined to have them in my garden. I did a similar trick with lavender and rosemary seeds. I put them into damp soil seed tray then into the freezer for a couple of weeks and it worked! Very high germination rate. I also tried Cypress vine many times with no luck until I saw someone clip the end with nail clippers then put them in damp paper towel. I tried it and it worked! Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences, I hope mine can also help spread the joy
Hi I’m in The UK I have a Balcony on the Seafront so wind is a Huge issue the Plants get Burnt by the Wind there’s not really the room for A Green House the little Pop up Tunnels get blown away and damage Neighbourhood Cars this was my first year Growing Flowers I invested in all Perennials I’m just just Putting them all to bed with lots of Mulch and Taking Clones of my Favourite Plants in my indoor Garden 😅Thanks for all of the Knowledge !
Thank you so much for sharing! I’m not a flower farmer but I adapt this for my home garden. I did buy the book a while back because you recommended it. I enjoy watching your videos so much.
Every time I listen I learn something new! Thank you
Just looked back on comments. I must have watched this video last year. So helpful to watch again. 😊
Loved the video! I think Bells of Ireland smell like Irish Springs Soap!
Good morning from Warrington PA.
Thank you so much, Danielle! So much information & inspiration!
Danielle, being in Glen Rock Pennsylvania-southern York County near the Maryland Line- I SOOOOO very much appreciate your generous sharing of all the garden knowledge you acquire. I thank you.
In Boise Idaho I have Delphinium as a perennial. We are quite dry, but use sprinklers for watering from mid spring, summer and into fall. We have very little rain. It stays perennial and I rarely lose any plants over the winter.
Excellent video thank you again from 🇮🇪
Fan.tas.tic video at the perfect time for my WA state Zone 6b garden. First frost Oct 15ish. Just put my toe into the water of cut flowers this year. Was a little late for cool flowers but am ready this fall. Woo hoo! Can't wait to DO THIS! 💪🏼👏🏼👊🏼😎
It's so nice to have you to learn about cutflowers from. I've been veggei & flower gardening a long time, but not with cut flowers or more specifically cool flowers. & our climates are similar whereas a lot of other channels have much different climates. We get an average of 66 inches of rain per year, have cold winters & hot summers also.
super helpful reminder for fall sowing! thanks!
I’ve been waiting for this video! Thanks for all your videos. I get so much inspiration from you 🌿🌸🌿
What a great video! Your arrangements are absolutely stunning. You are such a talented artist, both in terms of floral arrangement and photography.
thank you for all this information. Knowing how to listen to nature and learning from it. This is the reason I follow your channel.
I don’t know how I missed this video, but it’s so helpful!!! Thank you so much!
You are AMAZING!! I'm a 3rd year flower farmer and I use your videos as a tool when I struggle or need a refresher. I'm collecting seeds in the next few weeks, if I have any corn cockle I'll send it out to you. I'm in Z5 and I LOVED it, it added an amazing airy element to my bouquets. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge Danielle!
Great video - really interesting to compare to how I do things in the UK. You're growing, what I would class as Biennials, in the same way as Hardy annuals and it clearly works out just fine for you. I sow Biennials like Dara, Foxgloves and Sweet Williams in late June, grow them on in pots and then plant out in October once they are substantial young plants. I also sow some Hardy Annuals in September but they go into a cold frame or unheated green house to over-winter and then get planted out in spring. I'm pretty sure if I planted out my hardy annuals in October whilst they were still very small they'd all get eaten by slugs and snails or just rot over winter in my heavy clay soil.
Great video! I am inspired to try more cool flowers. I have gardened for years on a terrace in downtown NYC (7b) but recently bought a second home in the Hudson Valley (6b). I love Sweet William and it re-seeds all over my 7b terrace. I took a clump out to the 6b garden and am crossing my fingers! Dill and nigella also re-seed on the terrace. I've tried winter sowing poppies on the terrace and they have germinated fine but I don't have enough sun to keep them going. Never, ever had any luck with delphiniums -- those beautiful stands in English gardens are so seductive! No luck with sweet peas either, but maybe that is lack of full sun for more than a couple of hours a day. I am placing a seed order today for some of the flowers you discussed to make a cool flower cutting garden on the 6b property. PS, I am retired, kids are grown and I can finally spend more time gardening which is why I bought a place in the country. I used to work very long hours and would do the terrace gardening by floodlight at night after dinner, homework supervision, responding to client emails, etc. Thanks again for the very informative videos.
Wonderful video. So much info. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos and the music you play with them.
Loved this! I now know what people are talking about when I hear. Cool Flowers!Thank you,I’m ordering my book tonight. Hope I still have time to plant some! I’ve been planting perennials I got on sale from a big box store.
Great insight! Dara self seeds here in zone 5 but the rabbits love it! Hope you and the family are on the mend!
Amazing info! I live in Alberta, Canada. My Zone is 2b/3. But I love the info! Learnt a lot about new flowers! Thank you! 😊💕
Nice necklace.! I just pulled my book out the other day to get started on what I want to direct sow, I'll be following your lead. I'm in 7 on the shore in Maryland, which we should be moved to 8 in my opinion. I'm going to try over wintering everything, I seen Jenny Love over winters her Dahlias, I think she's zone 5, thinking I should be ok.
I absolutely love watching your videos, they always pop up and I just realized I wasn’t subscribed 😮 you’re in my zone, your weather is very much like mine (Missouri 6B), and I appreciate you so much!
I am in 7b…same as Lisa but sweet peas still defeats me.try try again.
I think this is my favourite of all your videos you’ve posted. Every minute was filled with valuable information. Thank you!
Very good to see you're back doing your videos. One thing that I was confused about after reading Lisa's book was her term "sowing" which to me meant sowing seeds into the soil but I think she also uses that term when she plants the small plants such as in the spring. Always appreciate your information. I am in zone 6B but in the Rocky Mountain region. I did have Lambada that self sowed from some last year that were in a container and they came up this spring in a very dry, gravel pathway in the raised bed area so they are hardy and might self seed in other areas too. This spring also planted some sea holly, they are doing well and hope to see them bloom next year.
Thank you for all the detailed information! I realize I’m a couple years late in watching this 😆 but I just came across it while doing searches as I start my own little flower garden endeavor. I appreciate your honesty and knowledge of the subject matter, thanks again! 💚
Love your videos! I know you are very knowledgeable and help me and others a lot. Also you are correct about Dill. As a Texas Master Gardener, we were taught to encourage planting Dill and Fennel as a host plant for caterpillars/butterflies. I sporadically plant seeds or transplants throughout my garden. They are great plants to help provide safer shelters and nourishment. Thank you again for taking time to make your videos. Stay safe and well. 😊💐
When I lived on the farm we had delphiniums and they were preannuals. Zone 3 🇨🇦. Bachelor buttons and sweet williams always reseed themselves here.
Thanks so much, Daniella. I've watched lots of videos on fall-sowing, and I have a number of books that describe it (including 'Cool Flowers') - but your video somehow connected all the dots for me, and has given me the confidence I need going forward.
I'm itching for Autumn - after three years of not being ready or able to fall sow my hardy annuals (beds not prepped, busy with newborns, etc), I have a good feeling that this is the year!
I have my first patch of Feverfew flowering in my New Zealand garden right now, and will be watching with interest to see how it behaves when I treat it as a perennial going into next season.
As far as Foxgloves go, I only grew the Dalmatian variety this season, which, like the Foxy series, doesn't require vernalisation. They are beautiful, and I am planning to try some 'wilderness zones' on our property, to see if two years of sowing lots of Foxglove varieties will self-sow and sustain itself into the future.
Yay, I’ve been looking forward to this video. You encouraged me to grow more from seed this growing season which really diversified my garden. Fall sowing cool weather annuals is a new concept for me. I’m excited to give it a try, thanks for all the helpful information. Great video!
Thank you!! Fellow PA gardener here thankful for your clear advice!
Hey, Danielle, thank you so very much for sharing with us so much great information on "Cool Flowers". I live in Billings, Montana, a zone 4B. Our first frost is usually September 10th or 15th and our last frost is May 15th or 25th. We are an arid climate. We do not get much rain or humidity. We can get down into the -20's in the winter and over 100 in the summer. I started growing flowers last year for the first time to make bouquets for neighbors and friends but would like to try selling them at a farm stand like yours along my fairly traveled road outside my house. I can't imagine sowing seeds her to overwinter. I would love to know if anyone has had success overwintering in a zone 4b. Thanks so much for your beautiful smile and your love for gardening. I have been encouraged so much.
I have watched your garden develop for years. Your a professional. I have a large flower garden out front that gets a lot of attention. Zone 9b and it's 105* degrees out. Next year there are flowers I will stop growing because of the heat. Many flowers self seed for me and chartreuse feverfew is one. I am looking forward to the fall planting.
Thank you so much for all of this amazing info. Love the ending how you showed how you sow your seeds. I bought Lisa’s book lol. Thank you
Oh. I’m just a home gardener but have never grown from seed and never really had a cut flower garden. But hope to get it going in my new Texas home 🌸
You were asking about delphiniums: I live on Vancouver Island, off the West Coast of Canada and north of Seattle, Washington Delphiniums pretty much grow wild here at side of the highways, along with daffodils and other 'garden flowers'. We are in either zone 7 or 8 depending on how far north on the Island. And it rains, it pours, throughout the winter months as well as the occasional snow event depending on how far north on the Island. Thought you would like to know.
Excellent tutorial Danielle! Just started preparing some of my beds for sowing. Very helpful advice, thank you! Would love to see more:-) 💐
I missed this soooooo important video that I needed as I quit my job of 20 years and a bad case of shingles from the stress of it all. I bought the 📖 last summer per your suggestion. This video is what I needed to fully understand it before. I have a hard time Lisa's channel as it is very focused on flower farming. 🌼 Thank you so much!
I always learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening.
