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!

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!

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.

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.. 😊😊😊😊😊

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!!! 😁

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'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!

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.

Thanks for a great video! Anne

Wow learned so much I am 76 years old and now I get it she explained it so well.

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 💚

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. 💕

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!!

Really, really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much. I want to learn as much as I can. Looking forward to growing cool flowers. ❤❤❤

Just looked back on comments. I must have watched this video last year. So helpful to watch again. 😊

Perfect timing 👌

I'm Texas Zone 9 and just started fall planting with information I learned from you and Lisa MZ. I agree, the fall planted plants don't come as early as one would think. They seem to bloom mid to late spring. Calendula was the earliest- Mar/April. My snapdragons and Dara Majus came in April, then bachelor's buttons and nigella late april, my Scabiosa in May. strawflower in June.

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!

Thank you so much, Danielle! So much information & inspiration!

Thanks for your knowledge. I love my flowers. Zone 5

This is everything I’ve ever wanted!!! You explain this soo well! I’ve been so confused. Thank you!

I’ve been waiting for this video! Thanks for all your videos. I get so much inspiration from you 🌿🌸🌿

I will watch this video over and over! Tysm!! Very helpful! ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been veggie gardening for years looking forward to trying flowers

You nailed this!! Thank you, questions answered decisively!! thank you!!!

I always learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening.

So helpful, thank you!! Excited to try this for the first time this year!

I love your channel! You have a beautiful garden. 🙏🏻🙌🏻

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! 💜

Thank you, great video. I love your garden.

Wonderful information, Danielle! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for such great information!! I love that you went through the book, flower by flower….so helpful!!!

Soooo great!!!

Thank you!! Fellow PA gardener here thankful for your clear advice!

I’m just over here watching this again. Thanks Danielle 🎉❤

Great information Danielle! Thank you.

I think this is my favourite of all your videos you’ve posted. Every minute was filled with valuable information. Thank you!

Watching this again this year even though I watched several times last year! So so so informative.

you are a very talented florist!

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.

Thank you for this amazing information. I think you’ve convinced me to try cool flowers! You’re a natural teacher!

Great information. Thank you for sharing your experience with these cool flowers.

That was such a wonderful personal story and a thought provoking question, not only "why do I grow flowers" but "WHY do I garden"? There must be as many reasons as there are gardeners. Thanks Danielle for your deep honesty and generosity in sharing all your expertise.

Great info Danielle and much needed! You clarified what I was thinking about for a while. Thank you!

super helpful reminder for fall sowing! thanks!

Thank you for such fantastic and clear information. You are such a pleasure to watch!

Thank You from Poland 🙋‍♀️I try your topic this year

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 !

Thank you! This was very informative and helpful. I went immediately outside to fall sow some seeds.

Amazingly comprehensive!! I love Lisa’s cool flowers book. Thank you for reminding me that I should reference it once again!

Excellent video thank you again from 🇮🇪

Such a wealth of information loveed it!

Have been waiting for this topic since you mentioned in spring that you fall sow. I am in zone 7b and need to get started on seeds. I so appreciate your generosity to share, a heartfelt thank you!

Excellent information, it was a masterclass for sure!

Wonderful video. So much info. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos and the music you play with them.

This video was SO helpful for me. Ordered the book and thank you for this!

This is SUCH a useful video! Packed with so much information and it is very much appreciated :) thank you for this!

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.

Fantastic video!! You did an awesome job! You are a natural teacher!! Thank you for all the information!

Thank you! You answered so many questions I have about this topic! I’m 8b, south GA. I am looking forward to growing some of these that I thought wouldn’t grow here.

Thank you so much for this video!! I bought the Cool Flowers book a few weeks ago and have been reading it off and on. It's nice to see the content in a video format :)

Thanks for this video. I’m so interested in this topic. Keep up the great work, Danielle.

This was so helpful and absolutely timely! I was able to watch just as I was planting my cool flowers. I would love to see the progress of your cool flowers over the fall and early spring to see what the plants look like as the progress. Thanks!

thank you for all this information. Knowing how to listen to nature and learning from it. This is the reason I follow your channel.

This was so helpful since I'm in 6b zone also. Thank you so much! I really appreciate you giving your experience with the individual cool season flowers.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Great video. I have Lisa’s book but your explanation of the cool flower list was incredible. Thanks so much.

So beautiful & Thank 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 the details!! I will plan on getting her book! I am revamping a garden to include cut flowers💐

Wonderful video. Love your input on this book. I purchased it over the summer and need to dig in. So glad you’re better too. Take care!

Thank you soooooo much, this is so helpful 😍😘!!!

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to go through all this useful information.

Excellent tutorial Danielle! Just started preparing some of my beds for sowing. Very helpful advice, thank you! Would love to see more:-) 💐

Outstanding instructional video.

So much great information! Thank you for sharing! I love Lisa, and would highly recommend her books too!

Thank you so much for this detailed rundown of cool flowers! In our area, delphinium acts as a vigorous perennial with heavy flushes in spring and fall. I’m in a challenging mountain climate - zone 4/5 with almost zero rain in summer, with temps over 100, but 3-4 feet of snow in winter, with a very short growing season in summer. I’m learning how to extend the season with frost cloth, and use irrigation to grow in summer, and have had surprising success with annuals! Thank you for all of your tutorials- I’m playing with how I can adapt your advice to this area! Again many thanks!!

You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge! I am not a flower farm grower, just a home gardener trying to get into cool flowers and I love your videos. I followed along with my copy of Lisa’s Cool Flowers book!

Thank you for this! I just collected larkspur and nigella seeds and can’t wait to apply what I have learned in your video.

Great information. Thanks! 🌸

Thanks so much for all the info. I did purchase the book Cool Flowers on your recommendation and it is a book worth having. 🐝🌼

Very helpful. Thanks for all that you share!

What a great video!

I am watching this video for the third time and pouring over the Cool Flowers book as I am writing out my plan and getting a bed set up for cool flowers! This video is so helpful and I appreciate it greatly! It helps too that I am also in zone 6- also in PA!

Thank you for sharing! I'm in zone 8 and will be trying this for the first time this year. I'm so excited to see how it goes!

Loved this

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.

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! 😊💕

Thank you! I’m in 7b and trying cool flowers for my first season! Very grateful for your top five recommendation! I bought a lot of different seeds but now I know which to prioritize!
