Summer Blooming Bulbs for a Cut Flower Garden // Northlawn Flower Farm

[@michelesimpson2237]

So Fibonacci. Thank you Lord for this wonderful creation.

I could listen to you talk all day long 🙏🙏❤❤

[@toniasgarden3550]

Love your content, thank you for all of your hard work and for such information sharing! Like you, I am going after my gardening next year with a determination and focus. I have had a very hard two years loosing 5 close family member including my dad this past March. His favorite song was "In the Garden" sang by Alan Jackson and I have listened to that over and over again this past summer as I have worked through my grief, I'm STILL working through my grief...watching you has inspired me to make my garden my "healing garden" in 2023. Thank you Danielle...

[@meandmysunshine1]

Thank you! Beautiful photos! Gladiolus never went out of style! People don't always appreciate them but they are just as pretty now as they were 60 yrs ago.

[@lisabanasiak1198]

What a great tribute to your grandma for growing crocosima! I am growing irises and roses not only in honor of my mother that passed away 12 years ago, which were her favorite, but I do love them also. I guess that is the way we appreciate flower gardening.

[@ellyhill1947]

I can’t wait to hear how your experiment in not digging up your dahlias. I love doing experiments in the garden. You never know until you try.

[@328North]

I agree with you about Longfield Gardens. They’re a fantastic company! They’re bulbs are always healthy and produce gorgeous flowers! Peonies I planted 7 years ago from LG have been divided a few times and now I have over four dozen

[@jenniferkessener1111]

How do you know when to divide? Mine are healthy, and reliable bloomers. I would love more, but don't want to mess them up!

Great flowers, thanks for showing! 👍😀

I just bought some bulbs from Longfield Gardens after watching your video! I couldn’t resist! They are having a 15% off spring sale! 😃 They also don’t charge your card until 2 days before your order ships! Thanks for recommending them to us!

You're right about craving flowers! 2 of my 103 Asiatic lily seeds have germinated after only 1 week - I'm ready to have a party! LOL

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

I'm controlling myself from placing another order because Longfield Gardens sells bulbs and roots at Costco. I can never resist when it's staring at me in the face. I bought so many peonies last year, I can't even remember where or what I planted.

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

Never mind that now, I caved afterall. I needed those ranunculus and pompon dahlias. I couldn't take a chance on them selling out. I'm sure there'll be more peonies to buy this spring however :)

[@aileenjordan8151]

Crocosmia Lucifer is a beautiful flower ,but very invasive but you can keep a check on them.

[@Mariah-co2ct]

Love the sentiment behind your buying the crocosmia, sending you and your family so much love! ❤🙏🏽 I know your grandmother is so proud of you and your work, especially for inspiring so many people to grow. It's because of you that I know for a fact I want a cut garden some day, so thank you!

I know I have told you this before but you have no idea how much your videos have helped me and I love when you do the how to grow and cut a bla bla bla whatever type of flower. That and so many other helpful videos. I can go straight out to the garden and plant based on your instructions and the vase life info works everytime! So thank you and please keep sharing. Your info is tried and true!

Amazing selection of bulbs! Just when I thought I was done ordering things... now I need more peonies! LOL I ordered the Cornell Bronze dahlia and that one is also a beautiful color. Can't wait to see all these flourish in your garden. xo

[@markmyart]

It’s really cool that you bought plants in honor of your grandmother. I started buying plants in memory of my mother who is still alive at 90 and she no longer gardens but I’ll appreciate what I bought in her honor even though she doesn’t. In this case it was a dwarf Fuji apple tree.

[@cecilleflowerfarm]

I have those oriental lilies I propagated them too by separating scales it takes years but worth it. You have a very nice list of flowers,I might visit longfield I believed I’m 5 miles away from their nursery.

Gorgeous flowers!! 🤩♥️

[@GardenDoodles]

The need to dig up dahlias has always been why we’ve never bothered growing them in our Zone 5. However, this year, we couldn’t resist giving them a try even as a annual so we got some from Longfield Gardens. Can’t wait to see how they do for us...and maybe, just maybe, we will dig them up in the fall.

[@angelaanderson5360]

Thank you for brightening my day.

[@maggiew7293]

I have a very limited area to use for cutting flowers and appreciate your sharing recommendations.

[@bethhubbs9937]

I've grown a pretty common orange crocosmia for a while but I have wanted some red Lucifer crocosmia for years! I totally need to order some! I remember an older gentleman in the town where I grew up who had dahlias and he would mound up the soil over them each year and he didn't pull them up. That was in Salem Oregon. I know it is possible! I found beautiful bulbs at Costco yesterday and splurged on dahlias, gladiolas, two kinds of lilies as well as clematis. Can't wait to plant.

[@julieculshaw4031]

absolutely charming - I love your presentations, and you are such an enabler!

Your planted Amaryllis bulbs for the Nursing Home....beautiful!!! I am going to work with our local Senior Center next year to do something similar within our community, I know many will be onboard to make this happen. You are such an inspiration. PS: Can't wait for my Spring bulbs, lilies in the ground, already have the peonies, and dahlias pre-ordered for Spring. Just have no more room for glads...which I will have to work on...my dad always had them in his garden.

I love crocosmia! I have some and the hummingbirds love it as well! Great video! Greetings from Michigan! 😊

[@emmalavenham]

What I particularly like about Longfield Gardens is that their bulbs are available at Costco just a few weeks before planting time - at prices close to places that sell topsize (including retail) in bulk. No advanced planning necessary. BTW The hardy gladiolus Atomic may not be as huge but it to my understanding can withstand winters even here in Northern New England...

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

That is great to know Emma. Thank you! I may have to place another order! I have never been to a Costco - that's wonderful about the Longfield bulbs and prices.

[@emmalavenham]

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens That would be Atom. My apologies. BTW Thank you for telling us about "Lambada" bee balm. I was this close to throwing in the towel because of the powdery mildew...

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Can't wait to see them blooming in the garden! 🥰 For bareroots/bulbs invested in Peonies, Dahlias, Gladiolus, Tulips, & a couple daffodils & hydrangeas... I'm hoping to at least make my money back this year + a little profit in order to be able to invest in more daffodils, dahlias, & lillies. 🤞 I really want the Mikaela Miranda but I didn't see it until I had already exceeded my budget!

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

[@nicolethijs5428]

May I suggest that you look out for the gladiola Black Jack. I grew it this year and its gorgeous. SThe buds are like black velvet when closed and open as a deep aubergine but when the sun hits it they become more like the deepest red inside the trought.

Great video with some stunning plants for the new growing season. I will definitely be trying out the double lilies! I also love Crocosmia. I grew up in Ireland and the orange version grows wild along most country lanes in the west of the country. Lucifer is the red cultivar and it is lovely.

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

How wonderful my friend! I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not familiar with the orange crocosmia. I'll have to check that out. Are you still buried in snow? Going to catch up on your videos tonight!

[@GrannysGarden]

Thank goodness we are now snow free but it took a good 2 weeks to melt and we were cut off by road for a week. Virtually every shrub in the garden has broken branches but I will fix that in spring with pruning. I have had the insurance people out here this week to assess the structural damage but I was far more gutted with the loss of my weeping cotoneaster....the top graft split right down the middle, so sad.

[@jacintabyline]

Even though we share totally different climate zones (mine is temperate New Zealand) I so appreciate all the information you provide Danielle. It is our bulb planting time and am gradually getting all mine in. Interesting what you said about the gladioli - I have always loved them and when I was living in Australia I grew plenty. Unfortunately people used to say "why are you growing those 'Nana flowers'". Bizarre what some people think.

[@hotrodmom86]

🏵 Your video DID brightened my day. I hope to get blooms from my Bowl of Beauty peonies this year. I am going to try gladiolus this year also. I guess I'm out of style too!😂 I was wondering what kind of plant you would put in front of the glads for support. Maybe that way I could avoid staking them altogether. Thanks for the great content. I always look forward to your videos. Happy gardening!👩‍🌾

So enjoy your style. You could be the gal next door just sharing garden information over the fence, if that makes sense. ❤️

Thanks for the tips on Dahlias. I grew them for the first time this year. I too did not like digging them up. I was so careful and still ruined a few tubers. I packaged them the way you’re supposed to but they are starting to look dehydrated. I’m afraid to spray them with water for fear that mold will grow. I’m going to try your friend’s method next year.

I love gladioli! I’m curious to see if some of the varieties you chose are true to color. My Green Star was yellow, tricolore was beautiful but definitely a lighter pink and maroon color. I’ve tried black beauty from two different suppliers trying to get that black bud that opens to maroon but got more of an orange-red. I’m curious to see if espresso is better.

Hi Debbie! Would you mind sharing some more info with me? What happens when you plant the Dahlia's? Disease? Failure to thrive? Too much foliage and not enough blooms?
