Peachy Cut Flower Garden Plan (including varieties to grow!)
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 02. 2023
- Ok, friends! You loved the last cutting garden plan of easy cut flowers, and you asked for another one of slightly more advanced ones to grow--so here it is! In this plan, we not only give you the layout for a 4x8 bed full of cut flowers (including spacing, timing of when to plant, succession planting for more flowers, and more info), we even give you the EXACT VARIETIES for a ready to go color palette of peachy pinky flowers to have you swimming in gorgeous fresh cut flower bouquets from your garden all season long!
Because we do this plan by the foot, you can swap out any of the flowers for the ones in the other plan (for example, if you are not able to get lisianthus), or just add more of one of the other blooms in the plan!
If you want to make it even easier, we have a mix that's in this same color palette already assembled and ready to go--head to this link to snag one!

Thank you for making these two garden plan videos! It is hard to find flower farmers providing a square foot gardening perspective! ❤Love that!❤.
I’ve been flower gardening for 3 years, and your spacings are challenging me to push the limits and plant more closely together.
I benefit enormously from your channel! Thanks for all that you provide!😊
I’ve started my Lisianthes from seed for the first time this year back in December and have had great germination and seedling success.👏🏻 I gained such confidence in watching your videos! So thankful for you!🥰
I'm so happy that your Lisianthus germinated so well! Can I ask you what trays, seed starting brand and what kind of grow lights you used? I'm trying it right now with Roseanne Brown & Voyage Champagne in a 72 cell self watering tray from Burpee. I'm using a heat mat from Amazon and 2 grow lights from Lowes. I hope my seeds didn't dry out. 😢 I've been spraying them 1x/day sometimes 2x/day since we are so dry here in Western CO. Happy Gardening! 😊
The BEST cut flower plan I’ve seen for the small, hobby cut flower bed.
Thank you!
These are by far the best videos on youtube about cutting garden. I love them. Thank u very much for all the Information.
This video was so, so helpful. I have three 4'x8' beds at a community garden where mostly vegetables are grown. This year, early spring, I dedicated one bed for cut flower bed with your help. It is working out so well. I believe I will fall sow for a cool season bed, and a second one will be saved for a summer flowering bed. :) The cut flowers are so rewarding and less time consuming. Bye bye to hours of spraying, weeding, watering and preserving. The flowers are so easy. Here I come farmer's market. Thank you.
Ditto to everyone’s comments. Thank you so much and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I love how thorough you are in instructing us. I really feel like I'll be successful in planting my cutting garden. I'm not going to try lisianthus though. Now if I can just keep the gophers away. Thank you so much.
There are so many great other options and lots of room for more zinnias in here instead, can never go wrong there! ❤️
Absolutely love this video! Everything was so clear and informative. I love the variety suggestions as well. I have a larger area than this to work with but it's got a few fruit trees I have to work around. I'll definitely be trying out some of your suggestions! Love your channel. Thanks again!
Thank you, outstanding content. I always wondered what to do about my leggy gross looking zinnias.
I get so excited for these videos every week! Can’t wait to learn about soil testing.
Please keep making these they are so helpful!
New one coming tomorrow!
Since watching your videos I was inspired Ito start some cut flower beds for the first time as a hobby to see how I will do in my townhouse backyard in GA. Your step by step guide is very helpful.
Thanks a million. As a beginner every little detail helps. So keep all your videos as detailed. It’s much appreciated by everyone. ❤
My garden colors are peach, lavender and black. I love that you focused on peachy colors for this video as those colors are harder to find than standard red, pink and orange flowers.
Agreed!!
These plans are so very helpful, and give the perfect visual picture my foggy brain needs these days!! Thank you!
Your instructional videos are so helpful! You provide a fantastic roadmap to what can be a daunting process. Would love to see your recommendations for a foliage bed or a mix of flowers and foliage that work well together. Thank you!
Thank you for the inspiration to change some of what I have been doing for years up. And the reminder that I am already a bit behind the curve on starting my snaps and stock.
Thank you so much for these 2 plans. I am a very amateur flower gardener. I have been tasked with the attempt to grow flowers for my daughters wedding in June. I have two 3x8 beds to do one of each. I have a 50 foot fence line to line with zinnias. I did this last year and it worked great. I have multiple trays of seeds started.
What a fantastic video. My son is planning his flower garden. He is starting seeds from scratch for the first time. He is in zone 9, but near the ocean, so strong breezes being cooler temps early in the season. I am going to share this with him. He already has staked out a shade garden area for begonias and impatiences.
Great garden plan look forward to starting with the easy guide and advancing to this one. Thanks!
I found your channel recently, and I have been bingeing! I love how much information you share with us and your environmentally sustainable practices. Can’t wait to continue watching 😊
Your videos just make me feel better... especially I'm very tired from studying 💜🌱
So glad to hear that! ❤️
This is fantastic! I am loving this style of video.
I absolutely love this channel! I think you are probably the best gardener for explaining things. Super excited as I have all the seeds and getting started. Also thanks in the last video for sharing where you order some items. I have a bucket full. Great advice 😊
Thank for for these wonderful and practical plans! Some of the best I have seen for a home gardener, with great tips for spacing, etc. I have had a cutting patch for 3 years, and I keep expanding it every year. My yard does not have much full sun, so I've expanded into a part shade area. I've had good luck growing foxgloves, ageratum, calendula, honeywort and even snapdragons on the part shade side of the bed. There are lots of people like me who love growing cut flowers but have limited sun. I'd love to see a plan that incorporates some cutting flowers that can thrive in part shade, either on half the bed. like mine, or focussing on all part shade. Thanks for great content!
Love this video! Can you do one with a focus on drying flowers?
So helpful!! I'm so excited for the soil video!! I would love to see more on sustainable gardening and everyday ways we can make a difference.
These plans help out so much! I'd love to see a plan with shades of purple.
You are so kind for helping us learn how to garden! My garden time is so short, I live in the western mountains of Maine zone 5a. My last frost date is May 15th but I was hit by frost the beginning of June last year. I am saving this year for a greenhouse. What one flower would you say would grow the best and fastest for me in my zone. I just want pretty flowers! Thank you.
Beautiful garden plan with very helpful information. Thank you 🌸💚
Thanks for such quality videos. Information is always excellent, and your delivery is perfect. By that I mean easy to listen to at just the right speed. I've learned a lot from you!
Loving these videos! So clearly laid out and easy to understand, thank you!!
Great info!
This was amazing! I realize how far behind I am so I am rushing off to start seeds! Our last frost is early-mid April but we have zero freezing weather in our forecast. Thanks so much for these plans!
Thanks so much for insightful information ❤❤
You inspired me to change some things up for my plan for this year. Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge and passion. I started my plan with 100 foot rows...and now I've chopped them all down to 20 and actually decided exactly how much I need to grow to fill it and to plan for a bit extra. I love the pallet in this plan. I'm going to do another that is lime, chartreuse and wine, purples focused.
Thank you. So helpful.
Awesome video!!
Love the info re square foot numbers. I learn so much from your videos!
Wow thank you so much for this information just what I was looking for ☺️ May GOD Bless you guys in all you do
Thank you so much for this info. Please do more if you have time.
This was a great video. I’m a third year hobby grower in Denver and have never had “a plan”. While winging it previously has been ok… I’m wanting to learn and improve and have better results for the efforts. My biggest challenge in my area are the abundance of rabbits!!!! I lost soooooo many of my seedlings last year because of them 😢. So working on better mediation/protection fencing for the garden areas that doesn’t look like a fortress, lol. Our late frost also didn’t help. I started lisianthus for the first time this year and very excited and hopeful. I’ve had awesome germination and plants look heathy. I also am trying ranunculus but not sure where I should plant them, timing and if I need to cover them etc…. Most videos I’ve found are either different zones, or have more commercial set up with large greenhouse/hoophouse. Does anyone in Denver grow these successfully?
Awesome! Thanks for walking us through this!
Love this!
love both these " plan" videos!! I have sooo much to learn :)
Lovely 💕
Love this!❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! This is soooo helpful. I was having a hard time figuring out my spacing, I needed this!
Yeah! I just bought your mix from epic!
so helpful! thank you!!
This was so helpful, thank you. I can put together a plan for my beds now and have an idea of how much I need to grow 😊
Thanks so much!! Great information.
Excellent video! Thank you! 💐
Love these garden plans! Keep them coming! You should make a garden plan book! (If you already have one please share where I can find it)😊
This plan was helpful!! Thank you.
So excited for this! I am going to plan a garden bed with bits of this and the last one
This is incredibly helpful for a beginner!! Thanks so much!! Possibly some pollinator focused cut flower garden? Or a butterfly cut flower garden?
This is very helpful. I hope a book is in the works!
Could you do a part-sun garden plan?! Pretty please??!!
Learned a lot and looking forward to next week video! Helps we are on the same garden zone too
Enjoying your cut flower garden planning videos - brightens the gloomy winter days when thinking about the colors that these cut flowers promise! I'm wondering if you could put a caption for the flower variety when they are shown on the screen? The auto-generated caption doesn't always get the names right, and I'd love to grow some of the variety in my garden as they are such a jewel😁
Thanks for sharing such an informative video and making specific suggestions for a color palette. I wondered if you had a garden plan that also included filler or foliage plants. Would you grow them in the same bed or a completely different bed?
💜
Thank you! Do you have a video/photo of these plans in bloom?
Wow! What a jewel of information. Thank you so much for sharing. I love these! I can’t wait to see more. I keep taking screen shots of the scrolling info. Do you have a newsletter that I can subscribe to and get a picture of the plans? Either way, Thanks again!
What is the little white star shaped flower in your bouquet? Love your videos- thank you!!!!
So helpful! 🌷 Do you grow veggies? Maybe a veggie 4x8 plan? Thanks!!
Thank you so much for these plans, I have been searching high and low for garden plans like these-small scale mixed variety cut flower beds. Are there any other combinations you recommend?
Really Good. Thank you. But how you do the harvest When netting?
Thanks Bri! Another "just what I needed" video to get my plans firmed up! For another variation on this type of garden, what about doing a Cottage Garden layout in a 4x8 bed? The issue I'm having with my layout is the sun and wanting to have the centre of the bed be the focal point yet still being able to manage the sun/shade on the east side of the bed. Besides using plants that will tolerate shade (ie. coleus is in my collection) are there others you can recommend in this case?
Yes, would love this as well!!
Great Video! I’m a new subscriber. Putting aside height of the plant how do determine the layout of the flowers. I notice you don’t plant in straight lines but often more in a diagonal pattern for each specific plant.
Yes, great question. would love more information on this as well!
Hi i just found your channel, so helpful! Im in europe and Lisianthus is so hard to find for me. Any suggestions for a replacement for those? Thank you🌱
Hi! I want to plant flowers for my wedding and I wonder how many flower could I have from this garden plan. I'd like to have one only for different varieties of zinias and another one for flowers you recommended in this video. I've never planted flowers so I have no idea of the quantity while blooming :)
I’m wondering roughly how many bouquets you can get from this plan I have 8 raised beds 4x8
Also, where do people get their dahlia bulbs from?
Snapdragons are sooo hardy. I had some that lived until it got to 5F
Where do you get the jute netting? I don’t love the plastic and it does not hold up in my SoCal climate.
Once your plants are established, how often do you water raised beds in fry CO?
love this thank you....this may have been mentioned...do you plant on a diagonal for interest and design or for function? thanks
Mostly to save space, but also helps it look more natural ❤️
@@Blossomandbranch wonderful thank you. I’m watching your first video on the cut flower garden plan with succession planting. Really appreciate you sharing this. Prior to this year I just pop seeds based on height in the ground and don’t worry much about it. But I think these plans will help with more consistent blooms. 🌸🌱💗
Do you have links or recommendations for the hoops and netting you showed in the last few pictures? My flower beds are closer to that size in width and the hoops I purchased last year weren’t great and I don’t think will last another season
How do you determine what flowers needs to be started by seed indoors?
Another stellar video!! You mentioned you charge $3 for cafe au lait dahlias. Would you do a more comprehensive list of what you charge per stem? I understand it’s all relative to our growing area, but I’m new to this and would love some guidance. Thank you!
I believe she said they retail for $5 and up per stem, not $3. 3:23
@@karenm5681 you’re right. Thank you! I’m hoping she will create a video that goes in depth on pricing - though I know my area will be slightly different than hers. That would be so helpful for me as this will be my first year growing cut flowers.
@@katiegray14 Wishing you every success with your garden. Enjoy!
Watching your video while starting seeds indoors. I have so many varieties I’m starting this year, building my garden from a blank slate. 🫣 But next year there’s going to be a cut flower garden also. A question, I saw you had phlox, Blushing Bride in a bouquet, I have them too but do you start them indoors too?
And a tip. Purple basil ‘Purple Ruffles’ in the most lovely accent plant! Dark burgundy leaves with a chartreuse edge, makes them pop in your garden and bouquets. And citrus basil tasting too. New subscriber from Sweden, love your videos! ❤
Where you buy dahlia seeds ?
I purchased my strawflowers seeds from Johnny’s. The package says to sow indoors 5-7 weeks before last frost, where you said much earlier. Will I be ok to start them this late?
Yes, they are frost tolerant if properly hardened off! I regularly plant them out about 3 weeks before last frost in my zone (but be sure to harden)!
Can someone tell me what the white small flowers (with purple heart) are called at 15:04 ?
Thank you but please write the flowers on the side so I know how to write names thanks.
I hate zinnias because in the vase they get so slimy and disgusting. Is there anything I can do to the water to keep it clean?
Yes, CVBN tabs!
