Best Foliage Shrubs for a Cut Flower Garden // Northlawn Flower Farms

- Today I'm sharing the best foliage shrubs for a cut flower garden! Foliage is the backbone of the cutting garden, and most arrangements are comprised of at least 50% foliage and filler, so it’s important to have shrubs specifically for foliage cuts that are easy to grow, reliable performers in the vase, and ones that can handle being cut on all season.
Here are my personal favorites that I shared in this video -

Excellent video! Your smile and voice are lovely and your explanations are point on. Sometimes I watch garden videos and they are too lengthy in that they repeat themselves, or the person tries to be entertaining and is instead annoying.This was on topic, informative, to yhe point and enjoyable. Good job! Lastly, I have many of the plants you discussed growing on my property and had not thought to use them in bouquets! Ha 👍
This was wonderful information and exactly what I needed to learn as I’m planning a cutting garden at my house. Thank you for sharing with all of us!
I'm so glad it was helpful Melinda! I would love to see the cutting garden you're creating! Are you on IG?
Northlawn Flower Farms You’re so sweet to ask! We haven’t moved yet, but my IG account is @giftboxstudio. I’ve taken many notes from your garden tours and I’m excited to bring my dreams and garden drawings into fruition, based in large part to what you’ve shared with us. Have a great rest of your weekend!
Very informative! When I began my cutflower garden this year, I failed to think of foliage🤦♀️ I'm adding more shrubs to my landscape this fall but in the meantime, I've been cutting coral honeysuckle foliage. Thanks for the video!
Taking notes. Thank you!!
This was really helpful. Fantastic!
Love your videos! Such joy in what you do!
This was so helpful thank you 💐
Another wonderful learning thank you miss D❤👍🌺
Those bouquets are so so so pretty!!

So helpful! I love your videos, and this is one of my favorites!
What a fabulous idea for a helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
Once again, such helpful information! I already have most of these but didn’t know about HOW to do it. You’ve really inspired me!
Wow so helpful. Thanks 😊
Thank you for all your wonderful videos! Your channel is a master class!
Very informative. You speak very clearly ! Thank you !
Wonderful information, it's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
So much good information!!!!!!
Great info, thank you! Well done 💚👩🏼🌾
Good info. Thanks 🌲🌿
Great video. Thank you.
Wonderful video! Great tips! I am planning now for fall planting and definitely thinking about putting some of these in my landscape this fall . Thanks Again!
So helpful, it really made me think about my shrubs as more than winter interest
I love the list you shared! Added some of these plants to my want list!
Thanks Sarah! I feel like I could have gone on and on and on. Haha! I tried to stick with ones I know last a long time and can take the heat after conditioning. What are some of your favorites?
You sound and look like a pro
I didn't think about using my Forsythia! We bought a house that has several growing outside. I have most of these. Great info!
Great video Danielle! I learn so much from you! You are my #1!❤️
DreamyGarden2000 your kind words of encouragement mean so much to me. I am always nervous to put myself out there. I am always blessed by your comments, and of course your garden is such an inspiration to so many. I feel we are kindred spirits. Oh, how I wish all us gardeners could meet together in the garden and share tea, garden stories, and just enjoy time together. Maybe someday!
Northlawn Flower Farms the feeling is totally mutual! ❤️ I agree, it is so hard to put yourself out there, but you are doing a great job. I am so thankful that you are sharing your garden and your knowledge, I love your style and your wisdom! ❤️
Just watched my first video and my oh my so informative and your very pleasant speaking. Great work! 🌸🌱
You are too kind Amy! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I am in Italy and in few days we might go back in lock down not able to get out of our town. I am preparing my last day with a shopping list at the nursery. Last year at +- the same time I was desperate for bags of dirt. I do not want to be in this situation again. ciao
Presented the information clearly with a smile. Excellent. Thank you for this. I use a lot of mint for foliage. Just be careful where you put it!
Heading to the nursery tomorrow! Thanks for the list! 🌱🌱🌱🌱😀
Perfect timing! Moving to a house that has no real landscaping plants because of deer. Putting up a deer fence so I can maintain my gardening sanity. This gives me a solid list of varieties to work with, thank you.
I'm so sorry about the deer Lyla! When I lived in western PA the deer were a HUGE problem. So many people had to use electric fences for their vegetable gardens. Here I only deal with rabbits, squirrels, and bugs....so....many....bugs. Have you tried the methods of hanging soap, bloodmeal, or urine from certain animals?
Northlawn Flower Farms We don’t close until mid August so not yet but I will!
Can you do a video on conditioning various cut flowers, mint, foliage and etc? Thank you very much!
Last year I tried using mint and forsythia but they were wilted in a couple of hours.🙁
You read my mind! I have recently discovered your wonderful channel, and wondered if you had any advice about foliage for flower arrangements. I am chair of the flower guild at my church, and will recommend your videos to all of our members. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
I appreciate that so much Connie! I do wish I could meet you all in person! I would love to see some arrangements that you and your church members create. I'm on Instagram - is your flower guild?
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm I believe that I’m the only member that posts on Instagram. When I remember to tag (!) you can find some of my arrangements at #holycomforterburlington Thanks for your interest!
Stunning

I love all varieties of spirea too, we planted tiny wine this year. A eastern wa native wildflower called "pearly everlasting" is lovely, I've never tried it in a vase to. Sand Cherry trees are beautiful as well as redbud trees, which offer excellent multi seasonal foliage intrest, and Dwarf burning bush shrub has a square stem and interesting multi seasonal foliage. Flowering almond shrub, mock orange, ocean spray shrub, thornless blackberry, are a few others I've grown on our last property. We live at a higher elevation and have a short growing season. We do live in a douglas fir and pine forest which already has a lot the same native trees and shrubs I planted on the last property. I also have grow or like daphne, service berry, red oiser dogwood, which hazel tree, mulberry tree, Yew.
Thanks so much for letting me know about pearly everlasting. I looked it up and it looks beautiful! I love the serviceberry also - I think it's an underappreciated small tree. It's beautiful in spring, summer, and fall. I may have to add a few more to our property. Thanks so much for sharing your experience - I love to learn from others!
@shelly pfluger, thank you for sharing as I live in eastern wa. I’m on acreage and knew about some of these varieties having grown up in the area but unfamiliar with others. So helpful in my planning of planting our perimeter boarders.
Thanks Danielle, I also love the Ninebark! I need to add some to my landscape since we moved a few years ago and there's none at our new location. Also, since we are getting close to the 8-10 weeks before the first frost, can you review your cool flowers method? I have the cool flowers book but a bit still confused on what should be planted in the fall and mostly need some clarification on whether they should be small plants planted in the fall or seed sown - or those better planted in the very early spring. I am in Zone 6B but in the rocky mountain region. Thanks!
Hi Joyce! I can definitely do that! I'm going to try and make some kind of video when I plant my hardy annuals. I only direct seed fall hardy annuals. You could certainly start them under lights if you prefer - but I have always just direct sown because I don't feel it's worth the extra money on potting soil and running your lights. Larkspur, love in a mist, feverfew, bells of ireland all go in this fall in 6B. Strawflower, dara, sweet pea, foxglove, lambada, dianthus, lissy, and snaps I wait until late winter/early spring and I grow those things under lights until planting them out in very early spring. I will work on a more detailed video - I'm nervous because it is so zone specific - but I will try my best!
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm I know you are always so busy this time of year, so no need to do that video if it's too much right now. I thought maybe if you were doing some fall planting you could go over what you were planting and how you were doing it. Thanks so much for your always great videos and information!
Another informative video! Do you only sell flowers at your stand out in front of your home or do you sell them elsewhere too? Your arrangements are so lovely; have you been trained in flower arranging or is that a natural talent?
Hi J C! I've sold per stem to florists also, but since we live on such a high traffic tourist road I mainly just sell at the stand now. You are so kind about design! I have so much to learn. My background is in horticulture. I don't have any training as a professional florist.
That one arrangement with tulips was beautiful. Is that a recent arrangement? Do you force tulips year-round?
Hi Jake! That arrangement is from this April. I don't force them out of season - do you? I would love to give it a try. Any tips you could share? I've been talking to some growers who grow them in bulbs crates. That sounds interesting as well.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm I've only done it with Hyacinths and they were prechilled so I didn't have to do the whole refrigerator thing, lol.
Have you used Weigela foliage in arrangements?
Hi Amy! Yes! It's wonderful! A full week.
