Many ornamental flowers and cut flowers are TOXIC. ALWAYS do your own research and take responsibility for the plants that you introduce around your kids, pets, and everyone else. Use common sense when handling plant materials: wear gloves, always wash hands, avoid contact with face, etc. NEVER consume any plant which has not been positively identified with complete certainty to be safe and edible. Before planting anything, research to determine whether specific flowers are considered invasive where you live or if there are laws that apply to their planting in your area.

What is "@freshcutky"?
@freshcutky documents the pursuit of my goal of one day owning my own cut flower farm. Along the way, you'll see random projects, cooking, and of course - growing stuff. I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be. There's always more to learn - this is my journey. The purpose of my blog, and other social media accounts (including KZbin) is to share ideas. I do my best to offer information that is useful, but reliance on that information is strictly at your own risk and NOT a substitute for professional advice of any kind. I do not create sponsored content or use affiliate links unless they have been explicitly stated above.

Great video! Everyone is a beginner when it comes to a plant you haven’t grown before.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

That's so true! 😀😀🌱🌱🌱

[@glenncordova3365]

I love the smell of marigolds. Some people don't like the smell of sunflowers. I love the smell of sunflowers too to me it always means late summer and fall in the country. Every child should grow sunflowers. The large seeds and fast growth are great for the impatient. Not everyone has a yard or garden but nearly everyone has room for a pot. I love tithonia (Mexican sunflower) birds love them.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I love watching the birds and butterflies on the tithonia.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Great info. I'm just an amateur gardener, who's had good luck with a few other seed varieties: evening primrose, nasturtiums, and 4 oclocks are a few I would add to the list for beginners.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Yes! Those are great ones to add to the list! Thanks for watching! 😀😀🌱🌱🌱

[@aRatsNibble]

I have sown nasturtium seeds a week ago but it still not germinated yet. Can you please tell me how long it usually takes for a nasturtium to sprout?

[@jeanettemercer5769]

Your channel is real and fun. Thank you

[@hossenfeffer8383]

You are an incredibly talented artist. Your love for flowers and your talent in handling and growing blooms is really admirable. Thank you!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Thank you so much for your kindness. 🌱🌱🌱

[@Mondoshawn]

I love the smell of Marigolds and Cosmos. It is different from other flowers and reminds me of childhood. Im glad I found your channel. I planted cut flowers in my garden for the first time and so far it is so much fun! And there are not so many youtube videos about it.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Thanks so much for watching! Hope you're having a great day! 🌱🌱🌱

[@corlisscrabtree3647]

Thank you

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Happy to hear you're in 6b/7! I'm in 6b, but very close to some micro-climate zone 7's. & I haven't found many knowledgable people in my zone!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I'm right across the river. 🌱🌱🌱

[@ElderandOakFarm]

@@TONYAwiththeflowers Awesome! Maybe we can do a collaboration one day! I'm putting in a big cut-flower garden next year, and recently started a KZbin channel!

[@carag.8460]

I love the smell of marigolds.

[@afaresfors]

ya they kind of smell bad but it's still nice

[@nitnelav1]

Great video! I also like that the varieties you showcased are "cheap and beautiful" and I would add easy. Flowers that can be sown in the garden in spring and bloom that year are the absolute easiest. If you can think of any easy, cheap and beautiful flowers for future videos it would be a great series. And the self seeding varieties means free plants in the future!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

That does sound like a good idea for a series! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

[@maceyloubrown]

Loving your videos!! I’m new at gardening, and I did my first successful growing from seed a year ago. Hoping to improve my skills this year. Thanks for sharing!🦋💕🌱🌈🐝

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Welcome to the channel! Happy gardening! :)

[@CottageGardensonForest]

Love the video. Tithonia common name is Mexican sunflower which is why they have a large seed, grow tall, hollow stems and love the heat. This is my first year with a dedicated cut flower garden and would love to learn more . Thanks for the great info!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I think I already have several videos with tithonia 🌱🌿 Good luck with the garden!

[@falliswell]

I absolutely love the smell of marigolds 😍 also have been loving your videos, so educational!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Thank you so much for watching! :) :)

[@sarahcampbell3646]

I am so excited to find this video and you! I’m here in KY and want to be a flower farmer. It makes me so nervous to saw it out loud!!!

[@makola1970]

Good to hear - how did u get on?

[@gardengatesopen]

Another older vid coming into my regular YT feed!!! Yippeee!!! Hey, this is kinda cool - I had those VERY SAME Goloshes back when this video was made!!! The white ones with Blue flowers in an outline pattern - whatever that pattern is called! Anyway, mine started splitting up the back seam, I couldn't do without them, so I used white duct tape to keep them together!! I tried to make it look "artistic" but really, it wasn't happening!!! And so I tried to order more, and nope! NOT AVAILABLE!!! Auggggh!!! I finally order another pattern, but I'm still mourning that blue & white pattern... So when I saw you wearing them in this video I got so excited!!! So silly!! But fun!!! This is another good video! Enjoyed watching it!! You should think about just remaking all these videos, I mean gardening is nothing if not repetitive!!! We will all like watching you give us this same info every year, just let us follow what you're doing!! We're just followers!!!!!!!!!!! Lead us oh great one of gardening knowledge, and hands-on experience!!! Hahahaha!!! Even if I already know what you're talking about, doesn't matter! I'll watch it, and soak it all in!!! 💐🌸💮🏵🌹🌻🥀🌼🌺🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 Ciao Doll ❤

[@KellyLehman]

Super video. Thanks for the tips.

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

Loved the flowers you included on your list. Hooray for Sunflowers, Zinnias, and Marigolds. Didn’t know anyone dared to use marigolds in bouquets like the tip about combining them with aromatic herbs. Amaranth & Celosia are close relatives, but I think Amaranth is wilder which may explain its hardiness. Bye for now!🌱

[@Hayley-sl9lm]

Lol "gateway" flowers. It's a slippery slope people! Pretty soon you're going to be growing opium poppies!

[@pricedesign8805]

This was my first year planting zinnia & I love them!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Awesome! 🌱🌱🌱🌱

[@verawallace9055]

Same, and I bought mine at the dollar store, one packet with so many different colors, one of my new favorite

[@hobbitlady7568]

I second that on tithonia. They are so easy really and animals don't eat them!

[@GardeninginKentucky]

Great video! I'm a beginner when it comes to growing flowers. I love marigolds in my garden!

[@1phloxy]

Cali Kim has the tiny Zineas.

[@eveny119]

I would also add morning glories which self seeding and can be invasive. Bulbs like daffodils are also easy so are tubers like daylilies.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Morning glories are definitely easy! I have so many volunteer seedlings every year. Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

I grew zinnias and I would bring in the house in a nice vase; until my daughter saw a spider coming out of one. She freaked out. How do you deal with pests?

That is sweet annie. I haven't grown it for a few years, but it's a great option. Thanks so much for watching! :)

I grow all those flowers in my garden. But I never cut any of the flowers. I just dont like cut flowers. I like to see them blooming in the garden. Years ago I gave a huge bunch of cut flowers to a "friend" and they didn´t appreciate it, and I never cut any flowers after that.

[@almahamblin4118]

Just found out about you from Flower Hill Farm and I am trilled. I am in KY also near Lexington in a small town called Irvine. Question please in the bouquet you are holding there is a beautiful yellow flower with a green center what is that called. Thank you

Welcome to the channel! :) :) It is probably 'Prairie Sun' rudbeckia. Thanks so much for watching! :) :)

Love the vids!! these zinnia's are gorgeous!! you put together the most beautiful arrangements. Do you order your seeds/or purchase them somewhere specific? I'm loving the zinnia colors you choose!

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I usually order my zinnia from swallowtail seeds. Thanks for watching!

I adore zinnias, but last year I got that white mildew on them which made me sad. Cosmos in MD for me bloom late and re-seed wonderfully! Marigold for the win to keep pest away!

Yeah, powdery mildew is such a bummer. Sometimes you can't avoid it. 😞🌱🌱🌱🌱

Also can't grow zinnias because bunnies eat those too!! Here at least...I'm not a beginner so I'm good but I have learned what those rascally rabbits eat! ;)

Velour brains. Hahaha Well said.

[@santhapurpruthviraj2174]

I like ur information u shared.. and I want to know more about cut flower production.. pls reply back. I will be thankful to you..!?

[@3menandalady273]

Hey!! thanks for the vids. So helpful! I'm cleaning up a new spot for a polinator bed in my yard over by my veggie garden. Problem is its really RAW land that has never been worked, clay soil, and very rocky and weedy. If I want to grow zinnia's, poppies, cosmos's etc. I notice you put down that landscape fabric with holes in it. Is this how you plant/sow your seeds, and do you find this a good option for weeds? I'm worried after i spend all this time cleaning up the space and amending the soil, I wont know the difference between my seeds sprouting, and actual weeds.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Yes, that's the weed barrier I use. You may not need one depending upon what you plant. For example, cosmos can be planted very thickly and germinate fast. Lots of wildflowers can also out compete the weeds. I would try it one season without first and see what happens. Whenever I don't know what the seedlings look like, I always google them to help know which to pull and which to leave alone. Good luck!

[@velerialangbehn6088]

Pull all leaves off marigolds and this helps with smell. Personally I don't mind.

[@flowerfairy1950]

For some inexplicable reason I have never been able to grow sunflowers!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Oh no! I had a terrible crop of sunflowers last year. The birds ate almost every seed! So frustrating! 🌱🌱🌱🌱 Thanks for watching!

[@eveny119]

Some areas are not good for sunflowers, I think my soil is too moist and rich, plus I overwater. I grew the mammoth ones first time last year, yes they grew and flowered but not over 3-4' tall. One year I grew a pale yellow/white short version that did well.

[@1948nodrog]

eveny119 Think (in fact know) we are too dry! Re nasturtiums, rabbits, possums eat as well as lots of other stuff! Very disheartening. Don't mind sharing; "sharing" being the operative word!

[@Littlebitesofjoy]

Loving your channel, just found you recently. Thank you for all the great info! What are the tan feathery flowers (looks a little like amaranth?) in the sunflower bouquet at around the 3:20 mark?

[@zamliyanage]

I really like your informative flower growing videos. I recently moved to Canada, and my area is zone 2b and zone 3 transition area. Can you please tell me that how long it takes seeds to flowering by sunflowers, cosmos and zinnia?

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm not sure how long they will take from seed to flower. They usually grow pretty quickly once the weather has warmed up though. Happy gardening! 🌱🌱🌱

Just wondering if you had some sunflower type flowers when you were talking about pollen they were really dark orange but it kind of looks like a tall Bush and away it was on the other side of I guess your trellis or your friends just wondering what were the name of those I really like your videos
