3b gardener from 🇨🇦. I will be growing all the zinnias, cosmos (cupcakes are my fav, so dainty and looks so pretty in a breeze), ranunculus, gomphrena, straw flowers, This year I am trying dianthus and lisianthus. I will be starting indoors soon, planting out in late May.
@@FARMERLynds yes! The dahlias suffer through July and August to out in a show in September and October. It’s perfect here for peonies. Plenary of cold and not too much water
The fama blue scabiosa seeds - recommend you cold stratify. I am not an expert flower farmer, but have had really good germination when I maintain these seeds in the refrigerator and place on on a moist paper towel prior to sowing them.
From seed I will be growing apple blossom and cane orange snapdragons, blue, deep burgundy and cream scabiosas, cream zinnias (for the first time), white cosmos, seashell light pink cosmos, black and pink bachelor buttons, white nigella, California poppies for a splash of orange and I want my flower patch to be full of orlaya because I adore them so much. None of those will be used as cut flowers though. I do not bring flowers into the house but I will enjoy looking at them as the flower patch is visible from my apartment windows
I’m in the Texas piney woods area. Celosia does wildly different for me depending on conditions. Last year was not a great celosia year if you know what I mean. Annual scabiosa does great for me, but the perennial has been a bust anytime I’ve tried it. Purple basil doesn’t grow big enough for me. Cinnamon basil or Persian basil are the ones I end up going back to. I know rudbeckia is supposed to be a perennial, but it never is for me, but it self seeds all over the place. I grow Indian summer rudbeckia.
I’m in central Texas zone 8b. Celosia does great here as well as zinnias. Haven’t tried feverfew. Lisianthus does well in pots. I have really awful clay soil. I haven’t done Campanella, blupurem, scabious. Silver dollar got 9 for tall. Haven’t done queenie mix or ballerina. Sunflower do great but lots of bugs want to eat them.
@@lianagilbert61 I’m hoping I can be more successful growing eucalyptus. They take so long to grow. I get seeds to germinate, but it seems after a few months mine fissile out.
What flowers are you growing in 2025?

@@heh3810 sounds so lovely
Cinnamon and licorice basil are my faves, not just for the awesome scent they produce but love their spikey flowers
Procut peach is so pretty ! I grew them for my wedding last year. A nice soft color without being too muted.
@@allthingsmaloney5634 yay! Great news to hear. I am so excited to see them.
Beautiful list! I also like to add some brights to the pastels. New to me this year is Chim Chiminee rudbeckia and giving stock another go
@@mhubertcfi thank you so much! Where do you grow your flowers?
@ I’m in Washington state but not the Floret side. The arid side. We get desert conditions so hot summers and cold winters but very fertile soil
@ very interesting. Are you able to grow the dahlias and peonies?

Thank you so much for the tip! I need to look at the back of the seed packet again. Thank you
I started my scabiosa in milk cartons with the winter sowing method and I had great germination
@ great idea!
Very nice video.I love watching your videos.I learn new things in videos.I watch your videos three to four times. good works..

@@ewadyl6555 sounds so lovely and whimsical
@FARMERLynds along with my perenials it is gonna be lovely if all of them germinate and grow
Plum procuts are a spring must for me
@@ChristaHarrison-o8q I can’t wait to see their blooms.
So nice 🎉❤❤😊
My Celosia from Floret was a bit of a dud also. I will try again this year.
Fingers crossed we both have better luck with our celosia next year
