Flower arranging course: blossomandbranchfarm.teachabl... Let's look at some of my favorite perennials we use for cut flowers here at the farm in early summer! In this video we take a peek at veronica, perennial scabiosa, new jersey tea, swamp milkweed, and pearly everlasting! Hopefully these will give you some ideas for beautiful perennial cut flowers that will give you blooms during a time when not much else is blooming in the garden!
Stay tuned for more tours throughout the season, and let us know what YOU want to see!

I highly recommend Veronica ‘Crater Lake Blue’ it blooms earlier than the white but the color is gorgeous.
Perennial and SELF SEEDING flowers are GOALZ
The less work the better 😜
I'm in the third year of growing swamp weed for
monarchs .. finally blooms are appearing🎉 I will leave them for them. I do love the flowers.
Thanks for shari g your time with us. ❤
I love the bunny hopping away in the background! 😆
Love the garden tours :-)
I started a meadow garden and I just love the natural growth of some of the perennials and annuals different heights not your usual tall in back the bugs and butterflies love it. ❤Thanks for all your info 🌾🪻🌷🌺🌼
great video! I love all those!
I like the new opener!
Wonderful. Helpful video❤
I have always used mulch and it has worked beautifully. We are now finding it hard to get mulch because the arborists are now selling it to soil sellers or on contract to farmers. I will be forced to now use Geotextile. We are seniors and the weeds are horrible to dig up. Ho-Hum!
Love your videos.
Love to grow milkweed for the monarchs!
I would love to plant some as well. How best to keep it in check? I am thinking about planting some in a spot in our yard to use as a rain garden. I just don’t want it creeping into the neighbors yard...
@@Nikki-mx5my here in my southern Indiana garden, I don't have an issue with it spreading or reseeding.
Great info! I already have a blue veronica - but I'm going to get that Skylar in my garden too!
It looks like you've got a mid-season planting video in the works. I'd love to know what flowers can be sown later in the season (besides Zinnias and Sunflowers). Looking forward to that vid! Thanks for all the great content that you put out.

I will be replacing my veronica teucrium with the spiked speedwell (blue) - need something mixed in with the day lily patches before and after they bloom - I'm so glad I watched this. And the Outside Pride seed company sells the correct Pearly Everlasting as well and I've had excellent results with their seeds.
I grew Scabiosa Fata Morgana from seed this spring and it is blooming its head off; the bees love it. I am going to try the Fama Blue this fall since the Blue Bachelor's buttons have faded away in the heat. I have purple, white and pink veronica, but I really like the lighter blue.
I just sowed 2 different kinds of milkweed this week! I have a bunch of tropical (not native) milkweed in my yard and the monarchs love it, but I'm going to try to replace it all with native.
Hmmm. Might try growing some Veronica. If it’s popular with the bees, it’s popular with me!
Love love your videos ❤ only wish you make them longer. I know for educational purposes short videos are easier obtained..please take us on a farm tour and show / tell about your garden and it’s principles….. and stuff like that 🙏🏽🥰❤️
I’m working on one!! I have to get help filming as I’m a one woman show over here but I will definitely do that, thank you!
@@Blossomandbranch oh my 🥰 I’ll be looking forward to that 🙏🏽❤️
Great video! I know you like Johnny’s but what other seed suppliers do you recommend?
Great information! I would love to try the Skyler. Can you recommend a source for a home gardener?
Hi, what variety of yarrow is on the left of the screen, the orange shade? Tnx...it is beautiful 🥰
Do you grow any astrantia? I have a nice big clump of white astrantia and it blooms for weeks. Holds up well in a vase.
Have you ever seeded the pearly everlasting, or do you usually purchase plants?
Where can I find these? Can I grow them all from seed or do I need to find starts? I'm having a hard time finding Veronica as a seed. I love the idea of using mostly native perennials.
Is it too late this year to plant the variety of milkweed that you have? I also would love a video on how/when to pinch/ harvest celosia. I thought i pinched mine but they are growing on HUGE STEMS. Im finding it difficult to use the celosia in my bouquets. Thanks for the (always) excellent information !!!
Swamp Milkweed, aslepias incarnata, needs 30 days cold, moist stratification to grow. You could stratify them now in your fridge/freezer and try for a fall planting, or winter sow them!
I am traveling to the area in a couple weeks and really wanted to stop by for a weekend market, but I can’t find anything. Is the farm weekend market open?
Did you start the Veronica from seed or order in plugs? The only place I see the seed is Ball in the USA?
Certainly unique plants, since some I have never even heard of. But always fun to check out new plants.
On an unrelated note, yellow lisianthus (light yellow)? Yes or no, if you are on a budget and haven't yet perfected growing lisianthus.
Which by the ways your lisianthus video sure is handy, so thanks for that.
I grew the croma yellow and loved it, it was a very pale yellow!
How can I buy Veronica Skyler? I can only find it on Danziger. I guess I need a wholesale order through them?
Was there a particular reason you mentioned stock seed in the end? Do you grow them as a biannual maybe ... Or just a random phrase? :)
Hinting at what we’re seeding (and an upcoming video)!
I have been looking and looking for Veronica Skyler. Can you steer me in the right direction to find a reputable seller?

What was wrong with the landscape fabric?
Breaks down into microplastics in the soil

Ha I missed that! They’re everywhere here 😜
I'm growing dahlias .. first time. saw a Jap. beetle today ... I dropped it in a soapy bucket.. not as many as a few years ago.. No known predator but in grub form.. Am I correct on that?
There’s actually a parasitic wasp that’s starting to use the Japanese beetles so if you see one with white spots on its back, leave it so it can hatch more!!
