Rosemary is fantastic idea for flower arrangements, I must try. Also I find lemongrass and eucalyptus work perfect for arrangements also. Thank you for fantastic video! New friend.

[@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm]

Thanks so much for watching! Thats a new suggestion for me with the lemongrass. I also love eucalyptus. Last year I tried growing Agastache Rose mint to use in arranging which was lovely.

Hi Catherine, thanks for some ideas for next year x

[@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm]

Thanks for watching Kim. Do you have any herbs that grow well for you?

[@tawanajeffries3610]

Thai basil, opal basil, dill, cilantro, angelica, cumin chamomile, hyssop, sweet Annie, sweet cicely, ornamental oregano, thyme, certain oregano and certain varieties of sage. Some of these are great used in fresh arrangements while others I use in dried arrangements. Thanks

[@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm]

Brilliant list of herbs, thanks! I like sweet Annie too, haven’t grown it this year but you have just reminded me to try it again. Thanks for watching!

I love dill ‘Mammoth’ for cut flowers and my favourite mint is eau de cologne mint which has a wonderful scent. I am enjoying your videos very much, thank you!

[@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm]

Dill Mammoth does make a lovely filler cut flower. I love your suggestion for the mint. I think it may also be known as orange mint? That will be a new one for me to try next year. Thank you so much for watching my videos 🙂

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm I have a feeling orange mint is different, but I may be wrong! There are so many lovely mints. I also love pineapple mint.

I'm growing dill, going to give it a try! Next year I'll do several types of Basil

[@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm]

Dill is a great filler if using it to go in flower arrangements. Basil I haven’t cracked yet. I don’t think Peebles is consistently warm enough to get it going well! I hope you get on well growing it next year x

[@giomammina8965]

My favourite herb as a cut flower or filler is oregano.Because even if your dry it, it retains its colour and texture. Second,as fillers, are rosemary and basil.They last a bit longer.

[@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm]

Thanks for watching! Oregano is fabulous. Which varieties of rosemary and basil do you like to grow? It’s interesting to know that basil lasts well. I might try and see if I can be more successful growing basil next year but keep it under cover for warmth.

I have planted lots of basil just planted my first batch of cinnamon basil out in the garden. Mint I like but I find it droops a lot. Hoping to get sage and marjoram next year!

[@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm]

Mint definitely needs to be well conditioned before using in arrangements as it will drop otherwise. I find it gets sturdier as the season goes on so don’t tend to cut it when it’s very new growth. Good luck growing your basil. I wish I could but no luck so far when I have tried here. It definitely prefers the heat!

[@mariet4894]

Would you say Apple mint is better than spearmint for bouquets or is it just personal preference?

[@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm]

It’s just personal preference but I prefer the apple mint variety. It’s just softer and a bit more subtle in bouquets x

[@mariet4894]

I always seem to get rust/ white spots on my lemon balm even though I have moved them around and trimmed them any tips for keeping this at bay?

[@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm]

Are there any small insects on the leaves? It could be insect damage or possibly fungal? Do you grow the lemon balm in pots or in flower beds? I haven’t had this as a problem so far. Mine is all grown in the garden so I don’t know if maybe it prefers that to pots.

[@mariet4894]

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm ah I grow it in pots and it seems to happen to my mint too, maybe bugs or just from being splashed when watering though I try to avoid splashing the leaves. such a shame!
