Flowers We’re Cutting from Our Flower Farm: What Didn’t Work and Why

[@gardenflourished]

Thanks for the video! I agree, if something is difficult and doesn’t make money- it needs to go! Video idea: top 5 most productive dahlias in terms of blooms and tubers

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

Love that idea!

I love stock myself but I can’t grow it. I get awesome germination but when I transplant outside it doesn’t nothing. I would give your shrubs more to get established. I usually don’t cut the first year.

I appreciate your flower growing skills. Even the flowers you are ‘cutting ’ from your availability list are beautiful! 😂

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

Thank you!! That’s such a kind thing to say! ❤️❤️

Stock... Same with me. Planted in the fall, but when they came up in spring there wasn't a lot of other flowers out yet to make mixed bouquets. Snap dragon and lupin were much better to use. Tried it once, not for me 😊. Also where I live we are told foxgloves shouldn't be put in bouquets due to high toxicity

[@CityMouseWholesale]

I use Sweet William like I use yarrow. It fills in a bouquet so well but is NOT a focal flower.

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

Yes agree completely! That’s how I plan to use it as well! 🌸

I cut all my Sweetpea as vines. They are tricky in that you need to cut all the twirly bits so they don't all bind together. I love love love them. Annoying but I couldn't be without them. Even if if means I can float around the field on the fragrance ❤🎉 Love from Ireland as always x Your videos are excellent. Keep them coming. I agree re yellow dahlias btw

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

What are your tips on hydrating them? I just kept finding that the vines would wilt! They are super magical if I could have figured that out!! Thank you for your kind words! I’m having so much fun making content and making new flower friends! ❤️🌸

[@sheelaghomalley5459]

I harvest and trim directly into a bucket of cold water and hydrate overnight. . They are super fiddly. ​@jordonsflowerfarm

If I had to toss flowers due to itching and burning skin I wouldn’t have a single flower. I am highly allergic to pollen I just wear farm sleeves and gloves. Problem solved

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

Yes I thought about that option too! The problem I ran into is that’s just one more thing to have to bring with me to the farm and one more thing for me to forget to bring since we live off farm ha! I get the same way with sunflowers but I’m not stopping growing them so I will have to try farm sleeves and see if it helps!

I would appreciate it if you would differentiate between the words when you speak.

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

You got it! I’ll try to slow down and enunciate better! I love talking about flowers so I tend to start talking too fast ha!

I like and appreciate the info you're sharing but girl you ramble. I think your channel would benefit and grow from a more precise to the point delivery of info. I say this with love. Im subscribing.

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

Thanks for saying it with love and for subscribing! 💕 🌸

I have to baby bupleurum seeds to germinate. And, I don't like the color. Out!

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

Ohhhh good for you!!

[@erinvance6547]

Chinese forget-me-not is out! So is Jewel of Opar. I never cut on either of those. I'm also considering cutting gomphrena. But when I go back and look at bouquet photos from 2024, the gomphrena really stands out. So maybe I'll just cut down on it.

[@erinvance6547]

@floweringevergreen3584 I grew buplureum for the first time last year. The first tray did not germinate. The second tray did.... but I also was not impressed and hardly used it at all. My buplureum still looked better than the ones at Trader Joes and Whole Foods. Lol. I guess I just don't understand the hype.

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

I actually loved our bupleurum this year! It was my first year growing it but I grew it from plugs, it was over 3’ tall! 😱😱

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

Ohhh I added Chinese forget me nots, what made you decide to cut them?
