- Succession planting cut flowers may seem confusing or overwhelming, but once you get into the habit of planting for a continuous harvest, rather than a once a done harvest you'll be on the road to consistent blooms all season long.

I love your videos. I’m
Not a cut flower seller but I am starting a very small cutting garden for myself. You are so informative and very honest about your why and how to achieve your business goal. Thanks.
That is definitely smart business planning! If I sell plants, that would be something I would do. Thank you for another informative video.
I wish I could sit with you over coffee and pick your brain. 😊Your videos are so helpful, especially bc I’m in 6b Chester county PA. You’re my go to here on CZcams. Thanks so much.
Super interesting. I had never considered succession planting sunflowers!
I love your garden and video's ! I look forward to them, and while I wait I keep watching the old ones.
I regret not ordering sun-filled green & purple! So pretty! But I had to dwindle down my list! 🤣
Great info Danielle! I just sowed my second batch of pro cuts and Sun Filled the other day. I don’t have a flower stand and I’m not exactly sure what I will do with all the flowers (other than give them away) but I’m having fun learning the process from you!
Thanks for always teaching gardeners! 💚👩🏼🌾
I went crazy buying sunflower and zinna seeds this winter and now I have no idea what I will do with this many plants. Lol. Definitely give some away.
There are a few movements out there that grow to give away. Or just grow them and take to Seniors at home or nursing homes or senior centers or hospitals. Everyone appreciates pretty flowers and I even watch Laura & her mom from GardenAnswer give away bouquet one day last year on a street corner - made so many unexpecting people Happy!💚🥰🤗
@@tamararobinson2069 I live in a rural farming community on a cattle farm but we do have a senior center in our county so I’m hoping to share some with them. I’ve been saving my pasta jars to do just that! You’re correct-anyone loves free flowers. It’s a blessing to bless someone 💚
Northlawn is one of my favorite channels and I’ve gotten to know Danielle on a bit of a personal level. She’s the best!
@@GardeningOnTaylorMountain Awesome idea on the pasta sauce jars!!🤗 Lucky you & her to personally know Danielle😊
You’re awesome 👍🏼🌻🌻🌻
This is a great resource! Thanks for this video, Danielle! Loved it.
Thanks Danielle for another informative video. Even though my cut flower garden here in New Zealand is for my own pleasure - I have had so much valuable information from you. Take care.
Great video. Loved it.
Thank you! Wonderful advice!
So helpful , really enjoy your videos !
Thant was very informative. Thank you Danielle!

The love of gardening comes through your informative videos..
You have a beautiful garden!
Thank you!
Excellent information! Thank you!
Excellent information!
You are such a talented gardening educator! I love your videos. I actually made an inexpensive seed starting shelf and light set-up using your videos for inspiration and education! I now have so many things in my gardens grown from seed! I have also shared with others! It is very rewarding! Thanks for all you're doing!
This was so helpful, thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for these beautiful videos🌼🌷🌼
Thanks, Danielle! I have learned so much from watching your videos. Blessings from Colorado!
Thank you! Just starting planting flowers and your very informative!
Pittsburgh Steeler fan, you go girl! Love your videos.
So inspired by your gratitude and positivity. Thanks for sharing 🥰
love your attitude, trying things and not getting bummed out. Love it. such an inspiration. Im starting my own cut flowers just to see how i do for myself, friends, family, and neighbors, and see what happens. Its a lot of work with succession plantng/hardening off, but the reward of the hustle and joy of the beautiful flowers and of course, money comng in doing what i love (gardening) is all worth it. Gotta live. thank you
I love this advice. Even though I don’t sell my flowers, learning how to better pace my planting will keep a consistent amount of blooms coming in for my home 🙂 thanks!
wow, i loved this video! it was so useful for me to know how much land you are gardening on and how many bouquets you can produce a week. i love that you’re growing cut flowers in the landscape. your videos are so relaxing!
Thank you! This is so helpful.
I love how you honor your grandma lovingly speaking of how she influenced you life.
I don’t mind sunflower pollen at all. This is a lovely video 🌻🌻🌻Sunflowers are so beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowlegde Regards from Poland. EU
Making sense little by little 🤗 my goal is to sell a few bouquets ~ succession planting 👍🏿
Thanks I love watching your videos 🤗
Great video!
Hi Danielle, I LOVE your channel - so beautiful and useful, so much knowledge and real life gardening information. Thank you for taking the time to making videos that help people like me - home gardeners who like to grow cut flowers in the landscape and not just in a farm-like configuration. Can you please show in one of the future videos how you replace the sunflowers in the ground after you cut them? How do you manage the planting areas for the sunflowers? Are you planting the same area with other kind of sunflowers or is it important to let the ground "rest" and plant something else in the same place? Thank you so much.
Very good ideas for continuous supply.
You are so cute in that black and yellow!!! Great tops and info 👌 I'm sucession planting now too!! I have learned so much from you and I appreciate you....
Flower farming certainly is alot of planning and time management! Thank you for sharing your successes with us. Would you consider doing a video specifically on how you garden organically as a certified pollinator friendly garden?
I needed this video! I have had such pest pressure I have no sunnys yet. I’m going to start a tray or two right now! I was trying to direct sow but it’s not working at all.
🌱🌿🌻🐝VERY HELPFUL ‼️🌻🐝🌿🌱
Great Info!! Thanks!!
Thanks Danielle
so helpful! thanks!
Try getting procut orange excel they’re faster than regular procuts. I’m also doing Queen lime series all three colors. Good luck this season! I planted two sunflower seeds in October and they came up in April like a hardy annual! I’ve tried using human hair around the sprouts and nothing bothered them. Try using human hair! Lol
Thanks Clayton!! Off to the Johnny's website now!
Thanks
Queen lime zinnias are so good. one of my favorites but the seed can be pricey.
OMG, I learned so much from you. just can't thank you enough.
What are your thoughts about succession planting if we garden as a hobby, but not for biz? Should we do it less frequently or not at all? Thanks!!!
I love your videos! I am wondering where you got your blue watering can.
This video is excellent!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and garden with us!
Do you ever have a problem transplanting your sunflowers? I heard they don’t transplant well, but a family of quail is decimating every seed I plant, so I’m looking to start inside.
Hi Danielle! I believe I've heard that as well. I've never had a problem transplanting them. I only let them sit in the tray two weeks. Perhaps leaving them in trays too long is where that thought comes from.
Hi Danielle! I love watching your videos. They have so much great information! I have a small flower stand, we started growing flowers last year. I’m wondering if you have a certain seed starting soil you like to use? Thank you!
Ok so I saw another one of your videos and I see you using Frey soil! Thank you
Thanks Danielle. You got me thinking about successive planting. Do you think starting seeds outside under shade would work? That way they would be hardened off.
Thanks, great video. How do you store your gladiola corms until you plant them? Thanks!
I don't have any luck to plant seeds indoors or containers. Do you need to have the lights to plant seeds indoors? I seem to have much better luck to plant the seeds directly in the ground.
Thank you for your help!
Great idea to keep up with the succession planting. Is there a fertilizer you recommend for your gladiolis?
Thank you so much for this info! Just getting to sow a second wave of sunflowers due to rabbits mowing down my entire first wave 😕Where did you get your watering can? It seems to be a lot more ergonomic than the typical cans, including the one I have. Thanks again!
So fun, Danielle! And is that a UVa hat you're wearing? Wahoowa!
Yes Ma'am! Are you from VA? My hubby is from southern VA.
My husband and both my kids went to college there, so I've spent a lot of time in Charlottesville!
Another great video 🤗Thank you for uploading! What is the little evergeen next to you, where you planted the gladiolus? 😊
Greetings, Judit
Hi Judit! That is a birds nest spruce.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Thank you for the quick answer. It looks beautiful, sure it loves that space 😊
I’ve done a little succession planting, some of my 2 week successions stretched to 3....definitely a good idea to do gladiolus successions, since I have hundreds of corms! Loved this video, so informative. Can I ask, how on earth do you keep up with the weeds?
To be honest, I have tons of weeds! I just try my best. In the raised beds I use a stand up hoe.
Thanks for sharing your gardening philosophy. The numbers you succession plant are super helpful too. One quick question, when you planted the sunflowers did you use seed starting soil or regular potting soil? Thanks again for a great video! 👍🏻🌼
Hi Tanya! I use pro grade potting soil from Frey's. Pro mix is also good.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm thanks! I’m going to be seeded some today!! 🤞🏻🌼
Is it possible to leave your seedlings outside (while waiting on germination) since it's warm enough now? I was hoping I was done with the heat mat and indoor grow lights for awhile
Thank You for this info. Where do you buy your seeds? And Bulbs?
Great info! So, do you pull the zinnias after you harvest one? If so, do you replant in the same space? BTW, love the shirt 😊 Steelers forever 💖
Hi Debra! For something that branches like a zinnia I will wait until it becomes hard to locate a good flower in the row. At that point I move on to the next succession. I practice crop rotation whenever possible. If and when I get powdery mildew on zinnias I pull them at that time. I will get a good number of cuts from each zinnia plant before they wane or become diseased. Things that will only produce one stem can be pulled immediately after harvest.
What do you do with the discarded plants, just compost them? I'm such a penny pincher i hate to throw things away!
How do you know if it is too late to succession grow plants? I would love to do more successions but I have limited pot space!!
I am growing procut sunflowers for the first time, I didn't realize you only get one flower per stem? Is that what you said? So how close do you plant them together? Does the plant not get as big as a regular sunflower or branching sunflower? Last year I grew a ton of branching sunflowers and the plants grew huge and took up alot of space for just one plant.
Where did you get those sowing trays?
Danielle, how old were your zinnias when you planted them outside?
Do you remove the old plants or just put the new in a different spot?
Can you explain why you choose to start indoors and not outdoors since it’s warm enough?
Danielle, do you keep space empty in your garden to plant the next wave or do you pull the first wave when planting the next? Thanks for sharing!
I am wondering the same thing! Do you keep empty spaces in anticipation of upcoming succession plantings or do you time it so that you rip out previous plantings? How do you know what will be done?
I'm definitely struggling with succession planting. The dang crows keep eating every seed I put out. 😒 ordered bird netting to put over the beds until the sunflowers get much bigger.
Agribon cover with short stakes to hold it off the plants
How do you keep the rabbits away from your seedlings?
Just curious...do you do straight sunflower bouquets at your stand? Or use fillers? And if so what are some of your favorite fillers for bouquets with sunflowers?
Hi there friends. I sell them mainly in mixed bouquets. I like to try and add foliage, spike, and sparkle. In late spring ladies mantel, snaps, and forsythia or in fall goldenrod, obendiant plant, and forsythia. I hope that helps! Sedum and celosia work well also!
I see you do succession planting in different area. How would I go about it if I have limited space?
I am in the same zone as you... probably live only about 30 minutes from you as I saw in one of your videos you went to Ken’s garden center which I love!! I put in 5 flower beds 26’ x 3’ and I wanted to know how often do you water?? I have sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, snapdragons and poppy’s. But I’m so confused about “water 1” a week.” How often and how much do you water!!?? Thanks so much!!
Hi there neighbor. Such a hard question to answer, but I'll do my best. I focus my watering on newly planted things, and things I know are water hungry (sweet peas, ranunculus, dahlias, etc). I water everything in very well upon planting. Deep watering less often is better than shallow watering often. So much depends on weather. Not only how much it rains, but how hot and windy it is. A cool week without wind will not dry out the soil as much as a heat wave with strong winds. Since we are having a heat wave right now I'm watering more than normal. The plants will start to tell you if they are in distress. If anything even remotely starts to melt down I know I need to up the watering on that crop.
Where did you get your watering can?
Can you just direct sow snaps in the ground or should you always start in trays indoors? I’ve never started sunflowers indoors but I may because I think some critters are getting some of mine likely birds because only a handful of what I planted came up.
Hi friend! Snapdragons I would start inside. They are small seeds and take a long time to maturity. I hope that helps!
?? What do you recommend to grow between you and a neighbor for privacy's.
Do you have any probems having your cats using your bulb patches and garden beds as litter places? I have been having problems where my cats ruin all my recently transplanted plants and it's heartbreaking LOL
Hi.. please let me know how to get rid of the small insects on the flowers before bringing them inside the home. Thanks!
Hi Danielle, unrelated question but I'm not sure where to ask: has your vitex shown signs of life yet? I'm on season 3 and I think I remember that last year it was a little slower than other shrubs but can't recall for sure. I'm zone 6 in Ohio and similar weather.
Hi Stacy! Mine is about 1/2 leafed out here in 6b. It seems that they seem to leaf out around the same time as the crepe myrtle. One year it died all the way back to the ground. Any new shoots near the base? If you break a branch do you see green? Hoping it will leaf out for you soon.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm hmm, thanks. I'll check in the morning!
First I thought succession planting was where you planted in the same area. It seems you plant in another area. What if you don’t have much garden area/space? Dig up the old? How do you know when the older plants will stop producing flowers? 😅
Hi, I'm just wondering if are you open to having a gardening tool product review? :)
I have never done succession planting and I'm wondering what you think about direct sowing succession planting ... is this okay? ... I have the space to direct sow and in all honesty, I am intimidated about transplanting and the time involved with hardening off ...
Definitely okay Rachel!!
Can you leave the seed trays outside instead of under lights?
Hi Marie! Are you in a zone similar to me? 6b? I have tried this with success. You just have to be careful that the seeds dont dry out. The cells dry out quickly outside. I really like to use the heat mat to get them going. It assures great germination.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Thanks Danielle . I live in zone 6 in Massachusetts . I think I will try seeds both ways, some inside some outside.
Really enjoy your videos!
Thanks for sharing😁...btw, Steelers Danielle, really ??? 😣😣😣😉
Hahaha! I'm orginally from Pittsburgh! I like to say I'm half Italian, half Steeler Nation😄
