Regenerative Gardening with Blossom & Branch Farm

Күн бұрын

Regenerative gardening course: blossomandbranchfarm.teachabl...
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.

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...

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 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.

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 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.

@Car-jy8pw Жыл бұрын

Hmmm. Might try growing some Veronica. If it’s popular with the bees, it’s popular with me!

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.

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!

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'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?

@Blossomandbranch Жыл бұрын

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!!
