- @cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm In this video I share all I know about the ornamental grasses I grow to incorporate into my flower arranging. Using grasses alongside flowers in arranging adds texture, movement and captures the light. They are very easy to grow from seed and look after in the garden. I use them in bouquets, wedding work and just to enjoy as a garden feature.
At the end of the video is a description of the names of the grasses I have talked about.

Amazingly informative! Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Thank you for another video with so much information packed in. I feel like you read my mind with your videos. I start puzzling about how to grow something and up pops one of your videos about it 😊. I hope you are enjoying your weekend ❤
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it and have fun trying grasses this year if you give it a go. I have some hares tail grass germinated at the moment within a week so it’s super easy! Have a great weekend.
Thankyou for educating us on growing grasses I may give it a try this year . Your flower arrangements are fabulous 💐.
Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy growing grasses if you give it a go this year.
Fantastic content. I grew bunny tails and frosted explosion that were great additions to my bouquets last year. I want to make sure I have successions of frosted explosion this year as I could have used much more later in the year. I'm going to try adding cloud grass and quaking grass and if I can find the squirrels tail I'll grow that too. I have some perennial sea oats that have gotten big enough to harvest and those are fantastic.
Perennial sea oats sound fantastic to use. I can never have enough grasses either, I use them so often so you are absolutely right doing enough succession sowings is the key! Enjoy your 2024 growing season!
Definitely going to have a go at growing grasses. Beautiful arrangements 🥰 thank you for sharing 💐
Thanks so much for watching. I hope you enjoy having a go at growing grasses this year. They are fabulous!
Great video so much to learn
Does double glazed windows affect seed germination?
Thank you for watching. I am not sure that double glazed windows would affect germination but maximising light once the seeds have germinated is important so moving them to a place where there is light from all sides like a greenhouse or if they need to remain on a windowsill turning them frequently so both sides of the seedlings are getting the same light.
This was a good one! I heard, particularly with the bunny tail grass, that in a more shady situation, they will produce longer stems. Although. I imagine, more slowly. If this is true, perhaps it could be for the other grasses? What do you think?
Hi, thanks for watching this one. I haven’t come across that before as I thought that they did favour full sun but can tolerate some partial shade. Whether that leads to longer stems in the end I am not sure. Maybe one to experiment with…
Another brilliant video, love your channel.
I have lilies in the ground but leaves look diseased but flowers are strong and big. any idea where I can find info I've hear some need ericaceous soil??
Thank you for watching this one. I have not grown lillies before but understand it depends on the variety and some such as I think ornamental varieties prefer Ericaceous compost. Lillies can suffer from some diseases such as fungal ones. Sometimes I find a good place to start is the royal horticultural society website when I want to find out something.
Thank you. You've given me a couple inspirations! A question for you - What is the scientific name for the phacelia that you grow?
Thank you, it’s callled Phacelia Tanacetifolia
Amazing video. I soil block my seeds. When it comes to plating out, what sort of spacing would you use for individual seeds? Or is it always better to do them in clumps?
Hello, thanks so much for watching. I always plant them out in small clumps about 9-12 inches between them. So I would probably put a few seeds to germinate in each soil block to create a small clump.
Good morning fantastic video what would you recommend seed sowing as normal I always leave it to late
Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoyed it. Now is the time for getting hardy flower annuals started and hardy grasses such as hares tail grass and briza. Late February and March are a good time to get seed sowing started.
