I was wondering when you were going to get to Achillea...aka Yarrow here in the states, it's wonderful. I like that Greek Cress, haven't seen it before and Golden Rod grows like a weed all over where I live here on Maryland's eastern shore. Now we want to video of you putting some bouquets together using your favorites =^)
I love them all you mentioned a few that I was not familiar with
Which was nice
I noticed that you don't have any Queen Anne's lace which would be a really lovely alternative and they grow so well wildly though they're very similar to some of the things that you have in the greenhouse
I think they're so elegant
I love Astors also because they're very good accents especially if you're doing kind of wild flower mix
I made a puppy out of carnations and laid the puppy in a basket which was a bed of wildflowers including Solidago
They were purple white asters and then the yellow somewhere a little more towards the green somewhere a little bit sparse and others were a little more full but it really made a beautiful arrangement
Herbs! Are amazing filler flowers. Dark purple opal basil and Thai basil were wonderful. And they had a pleasing aroma. I want to grow gomphrena, strawflowers and zinnias. But I love your idea to use more perennials. I've never seen atumn joy sedum in a bouquet it makes sense it would look lovely. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing these beauty❤️
Alchemilla Mollis is such a fab plant. I am busy dividing mine So good as a dried flower and went into my early boquets as a filler. You can't gave enough of it Top of the Hill Flower Farm, Ireland
Love your flower farm . Every vid i watch the more you inspire me to want my own flower farm. Keep up the good work 🖒
Lovely video, informative and enjoyable to watch :) looking forward to some more.
What a lovely video, you were so bubbly 😊. Just a nice thing to watch to relax and enjoy nature 😌. Great list btw, your flowers are coming along nicely 🥰
I have a gorgeous golden rod called fireworks. Got it from bluestone perennials. It’s beautiful. However, it does spread.
Great fillers, might try the Greek cress. Great ref the clothing too!
Thank you so much for sharing this vide, it's helpful to know what fillers I might want to give a try, plus,... I ordered a pair of the work pants you mention and can't wait to get to work in the garden this spring! I bought the knee pads as well, what a great idea! Keep up the. good works 😊
i´m into knf because of your video of lab, and im loving it! thank you so much for sharing how you do it all, your chanel its so helpfull and beatiful!a journey to watch and lern
All fabulous!
Really enjoyed this video!! You should do more like it with the other flowers that make a bouquet!
Thank you soo much! This was so informative!
I love euphorbia and golden rod It grows wild so very easy!
Still referring to this wonderful video a year later while I order seeds for next year. This summer my favorite fillers have been feverfew (matricaria) “Virgo”- dainty, elegant and looks great with foxglove. Also annual monarda “Lambada” it’s odd & fluffy but everyone seems to love it-the honey bees most of all. Thank you so much making these fun, friendly and interesting videos!
Love, love love all of those! I'm trying Millett and dill also. Thanks! Wish I could order from RR, but I'm in the U.S.
Greekcress we killed Tere in Turkis and we use as a salad leaves,. Now I am using in my flower ar regiment as well. Nice to see you.
For a newbie flower farmer, your channel and tours are extremely helpful and inspirational. Thanks Sarah! :D
Glad you find it useful!!
@@bloomandgray really is! And I know we hate to share the fails too but that helps as i can see im not alone!
Wow beautyful flowers 😘😘😘
Really enjoyed seeing your fillers, you grow & do some lovely flowers …
I do love growing Orlaya, Ammi majus I’ve also grow Daucus carota 'Purple Kisses' Mix, Pimpinella major 'Rosea' I just love them round the garden bronze fennel fills in well as well as asparagus fern … glad I found your Chanel it’s nice seeing flowers farmers in the uk & what you’re growing I just love doing my own flowers for indoors
Ahh yes I love orlaya too but somehow I don’t have any this year! I also never grow ammi as it doesn’t do well in the field unfortunately! I have some asparagus fern in the tunnel it’s great but I always forget to pick it!
Loved this video
I’m gonna sow Dara for the first time this year... gonna be growing it outside since I don’t have a poly tunnel. Hope I don’t have the same experience as you as I fully expect to have a LOT of carrot root fly as we have a woodland right next to the veg patch and it’s full of cow parsley, which hosts carrot root fly... 🤔 Though the cow parsley doesn’t seem to struggle at all. Maybe gonna try chucking some enviromesh over it until it gets going.
Thank you for the information
I LOVE this! The last few times you said you were growing Limonium I’ve wanted to stop and research but was too busy! Turns out, I’d already started it from seed! Lol I didn’t realize you were talking about what I call Statice. Thank you for the helpful list and for using the botanical name as well! I’ve never been a fan of some of these. I have some sedum, yarrow and Alchemilla Mollis (?) but never thought to use them in bouquets! Thank you so much this has been so helpful!!!! 💚
Well I usually call it statice but for the video I thought I’d call it limonium for some reason 😂 it’s funny how different people pick up the different names common name or Latin!
Thanks for letting me know it is Statice. Yes, I bought some in Spring from Johnny's. 🌸🌺🌹
limonium and Status are two different flowers
limonium and Statice are two different flowers
Love this video! Great info, thank you. I’m going BIG with perennials this year, planting everywhere. Adding more to the seed list!! Zone 9 😊
You won’t regret it! It’s filled a big gap for me this spring!
Hi, can you advise where you where buy your Greek Cress (Olympus) from. Cheers, Jonesy
It’s from plants of distinction 😁
Bravo vivement le beau temps. Bonjour de Normandie en France.
Great video
Love the greek cress. How do you keep organized with what you’re going to plant and when ?
Yarrow or achillea is a great filler, and it gets bonus points for being a perennial. Any perennial saves both money and time.
Thank you for sharing!! I love to use the foliage from Baptisia it’s so long lasting and has blue undertones
Just googled baptisia.. has a Lupin look about it doesn’t it!
@@bloomandgray yes, it does but it grows to almost 4’ tall and I get at least 7 days or more in the vase. Not the flowers, just the foliage…and it makes very cool seed pods 😉
In Wisconsin, USA. Baptisia is my favorite!
Thank you

Fab video, I live in North Yorkshire/East Yorkshire border on the Wolds Way. I wish I had a poly tunnel. I'm just growing for myself and some village friends. I love your burgundy jacket and going to have a look as I'm a snowboarder and skier. They only have large in Cyclone Rescue... so hope they get some more. I can't see your discount code though
My garden the building of an ecosystem that supplies useful products, AKA forest garden (not food forest). So I've don't some research.
I'm of the opinion that every garden needs Amaranth. It's a super useful plant. Flowers, pollinator attraction, edible leaves (entire plant actually), edible grain for flour and cereal, plant fiber for twine/rope making, Pigment for dying cloth. What's there not to like?
Needs a warm summer for domesticated varieties though. I'm trying to get a patch of the wild version going (Lambs quarter aka red rooted amaranth), plus experimenting to see if I can find a domesticated version that will grow here.
Loved this video, always looking for filler flowers. I so wish I would’ve caught this video earlier! Will you have another discount code soon? 🤞🏻🤗
I’m not sure, hopefully something else will come up soon!
Really enjoyed this one and thanks for the Alchemilla Mollis tip. I’ve never managed to germinate it.
Love this list!
Question: I grow a while valerian for its roots. But whenever I cut the flowers they fall like snow, whether I pick young or old. Do you're do this as well? Do you have any suggestions about how to keep them from falling?
Thanks so much, very helpful!
Just wondering what time of year would you divide the perennials, specifically alchemilla Mollis- my plan is to dig a bit out of my friends perennial garden !!🥳
I would divide them in winter between December and February?
A really useful video 😊. Where do you get your seeds for the Greek Cress from? Thank you
Im beginning to love perennials that are not full of stickers and nutsedge....but out dry and heat kills any with beautiful flowers..im.tired of having to hand water to.see them die. I out in a system and it didnt help so i had to add shading...which was a real pain too. At 80 this stuff gets tiring.as hell.
Golden rod is a favorite but i have had zero luck getting it started ...it does grow wild here so i sneak cut some usually.
I have love lies bleeding an amarantus too...self seeds pretty good here too.
Hiya, thanks for the video, really useful! Where did you get the cress seeds from? I can only find the edible stuff for sandwiches 😁
Plants of distinction 😊
Thank you so much for your informative videos. I'm in the USA, so I cannot purchase your promoted items. (Cool pants!)
Hi I have managed to get some Greek cress seeds which was surprisingly difficult to find online 😬 did u sew the seeds in modules or was it just sprinkled on a seed tray at random pls ?
Do you grow your alchemilla mollis in part shade or full sun?
Where did you buy those filler flowers seeds and plants at?
How much land are you using to grow flowers?
For whatever reason my yarrow didn’t really do well this year. It was year one for those plants so I am hoping for a better showing this year. Any tips on how close or far to plant them? Do I need to stake them? Maybe more fertilizer? Help please! 🤞🤞
I’m sure theylll do better next year when their roots have bulked up a bit! I don’t stake mine and I think they’re planted 12 inches apart.
Did you do s floristry course?
What variety of goldenrod do you use? I use lots of daucus, cress, attriplex, lace flower, cinnamon basil, holy basil, opal basil and ornamental oregano. I live in the south in the United States and goldenrod can be invasive but I’d love to grow some to use in fall bouquets. I’ve got the seed for many colors of statice to grow. I love amaranth as well but hate the pests that destroy the leaves. Have you used any buckwheat or quinoa? Thanks
I think the variety of golden rod is ‘golden baby’ which is a smaller variety. I’ve never tried buckwheat or quinoa but they sound like the sort of thing I would like to have a go at?
Nice!! Where did you get all of your yarrow ?? Id like to start all of these color from seeds !
I got all the yarrow seeds from chilterns seeds
Thanks 🥰
Nice garden. Just wondering Sarah, how old are you?
I’m 28 ☺️
Where did you get your sedum?
It was from a local garden centre!
Haha..i use to have a yellow lab and german short hair too..died lf old age during this damn pandemic tho sad sad sad
Aww that’s so sad but at least they got to a good age. The lab belongs to a friend I’m not sure if I could ever have one myself!
Wild carrot is a weed and impossible in the US to get rid off. Those seeds! Ugh.

Valerian will make the flower water smell horrible!!
