I am with you on all of these! Except, I love agrostemma and my florists do too so I did more this year. My first succession went out a full month bf my last frost - it’s super hardy. I’m going to try it in my high tunnel really early next year. Nigella…also love it and also have trouble with stem length. I think certain varieties are longer - two different areas self sowed for me and those in a little shade grew taller. Something for me to experiment with.

Ahh so good to know that agrostemma can go out earlier. I'm also feeling validated I'm not the only one having issues with Nigella stem length. Maybe in future years I'll give it a shot but for now... gotta make room for other stuff ;-)

I really enjoyed it, and it will help me a lot on this journey of trying to start my small flower business. thank you both! and for that reliable summer perennial,Tara, try Rudbeckia, lots species of them. 'Henry Eilers' is my fav, R. triloba grow crazy like many other species as well. Hope this helps! @wildbirdfarm

Sunflowers! We are zone 6b in high elevation. We have only done one market but have gardened for years. A few years ago, we created a flower space for our teenage daughters, and they chose a variety of sunflowers amidst other things and boy how we love them! This last year many varieties self-seeded and are growing beautifully! We took a few bouquets to market last week thinking they would just pretty up the table and help us sell vegetables, and they were our highest profit item! Watching more of your videos and considering expanding a bit more next year in the flower realm.

Sunflowers are for sure a really amazing and profitable flower especially at a market. Love that you are jumping into flowers while selling veggies. Flowers are technically the most profitable crop you can plant per square foot but... we have to eat too! :)

Which kind of veronica you recommend for cutflowers? Juli perennial: Solidago / Eupatorium maculatum ‘Atropurpureum’ / Liatris spicata 'Kobold' / Achillea filipendulina 'Cloth of Gold' / goosneck (Lysimachia clethroides). This yeari'm trying the purple gooseneck(Lysimachia atropurpurea).

Ahhh I love feverfew but haven’t been able to use it. I’m hoping to get a fall flush after cutting them down since they were covered in thrips. Our florists love feverfew too. We have many growers growing them similar to yarrow and there’s always a demand. And thank you ☺️

@@bareflowerfarm They also require a Solicitor’s License and Solicitor’s ID Cards, $50 each for the first two years and $20 to renew every two years thereafter, and a mandated state fee of $4 for the Solicitor’s License. It really doesn't matter what the traffic is when you consider the costs to sell combined with the pricing pressures of that particular sales channel.

I would love to see a video on interplanting successes to maximize a bed profitability. For example, planting lilies with Sea Holly is really interesting. And do you keep your lilies as perennials? Or do you have to replant every year when intercropped like this?
@bareflowerfarm6 күн бұрын
We actually have a Facebook group called Interplanting for Flower Farmers where many folks are interplanting. There's less profitability embedded and more just seeing what works and doesnt. The lily/ sea holly combination worked but my stock/sea holly combination and so I think alot of us are trying to figure out what crops can go together. I'll try to get as many success/failure stories for a year end video!

Sweet peas, 1/2 my crop was desimated, but I've sold both retail and wholesale with the 12 plants that survived. Snapdragons and yarrow and surprisongly oregano! This perenial herb pits up 20-24" stems continually and saved my bacon for retail filler throughout June.

I just started seeds for perennials and some that I love that have super long vase life and are minimal effort (except for corralling) that I’m increasing are delphiniums, Veronica, fama scabiosa, baptisia, and trying eringium thanks to your videos. I am still developing my market so the key to all of these for me is that I have to also want them in my landscape so they have that value for me as well. I also love daisies and have in the past bought the fancy ones from retail. They grow into absolute bushes. They have a more limited bloom time but work so well. So last year I planted Crazy Daisies from seed (bloomed second year) that were just as pretty and this year I am trialing a selection of painted daisies called Dunetti Daisies. Excited to see what other’s experience is in comments

Another one that I forgot to mention. A couple of years ago ago I grew Collomia Grandiflora which is a native dianthus. I ripped out the plants at the end of the year but they are perennial. So I had a few seeds left in the packet and grew them out this year to renew my seed supply. They are peachy and easy to grow and I think florists would love them

I love the choices and actually have all that you listed, except i happened to accidentally buy short flowering veronica lol! i havent actually grown daisies though, I'm curious to hear how the painted daises do! Very interesting on the Collomia Grandiflora- I've never heard of that! I think alot of the various dianthus including heirloom carnations are worth exploring due to their perennial nature and excellent vase life!

I´m in my first year, but I´m puting in lots of Sea holly, Echinops, perennial Babys breath, yarrow, Astrantia and Astilbe. I have also ordered 50 plants of 5 different Baptisia, Sedum Autumn Joy and a dard leafed variety, planted 1500 lillies in the ground this year as well. Different species with different bloom time. So I hope I get at least something good next year 🙂

Wow!! That is quite the plants you're putting in especially lilies! I dont have that many perennialized lol!! Astrantia is on my list.
