My number one advice for all of these flowers… plant them in a spot where they will receive lots of sun and water often! ☀️ What are your favorite easy to grow flowers? #cutflowergarden #flowergarden #garden2025 #beginnergarden #beginnergardening #easygardening #flowerbouquets #cutflowers

These might be controversial but here it goes…here are 3 flowers I’ll never grow from seed again.🌸

Lisianthus - worse experience ever. They are not for the faint of heart. I started 3 trays of plants. They all germinated, started growing, got fungal gnats, had almost no growth, they slowly died off one by one until I was left with about 9. Couldn’t take them anymore inside so I started acclimating them outdoors, slowly lost them one by one. Planted the last 3 and they literally never grew! So no…not growing lisianthus again. Gorgeous flower but won’t be growing it.🌸

Iceland Poppies - I like them, don’t get me wrong, but just didn’t love their performance. They did really well when I grew them. I started them indoors, they all germinated, hardened them off, and planted them. They bloomed and did okay but were just meh for me so I’d rather not waste the space or my time when there are so many others that I enjoy so much more.🌸

Silene - Silene is a pretty vase filler and I grew it a few years ago. It was pretty but looked more like a weed in my beds and didn’t love it that much as vase filler either. Ironically, it grows on the side of the road in Vermont near our cabin so I guess that’s why it looked like a weed. 😂🌸

🌸Bonus plant I’m not growing again from seed🌸

Eucalyptus - Not a flower (I know) but I love the foliage and it makes a great vase filler. It germinated well and did OK under grow lights but didn’t grow well here at all in my gardens. Not wasting the time, effort, or space again on it.🌸

Does this sound familiar to you? Because this has been my experience with growing, failing and succeeding with growing digitalis.🌸

Every spring, I’d shop the nurseries with great optimism about new potential for my flower garden. And then I’d spot them. Those stunning tall spiked flowers that I dreamed about for years.🌸

I’d buy them, plant them in the right location with the appropriate amount of sunlight. They’d do okay and then peter out never to return again in my garden. It was so disheartening. I realize they are biennial but they just did not take like I’d heard about them doing in other gardener’s landscapes.🌸

So I avoided growing them. Until a few years later, I’d see another plant, buy them, plant them and go through the same cycle again. This happened a few times and to no avail, I could not get foxgloves to grow in my garden.🌸

Until I moved here!🌸

Although I moved only 20 minutes away in the same hardiness zone, I decided to give them a whirl again. I shopped at a local nursery, found these gorgeous blooms and you know what? They didn’t take either! What the heck!🌸

Determined to grow them, I decided to start them from seed indoors under grow lights the following winter. And you know what? Those seeds germinated and became strong seedlings that I planted in my flower garden.🌸

And would you believe? They bloomed in their first season! I was thrilled. Instead of deadheading them, I allowed the plant to drop seed and the crowns remained over the course of the winter. Well they grew again this spring, thrived AND ARE BLOOMING like crazy! Yay!!! I did it! And you can too with some resilience, perseverance and the will to grow them!🌸 Save and share this with a friend who loves cottage gardens. Will you try growing foxgloves from seed this year?

I’ve been growing snapdragons in my cut flower garden for several years and they have quickly become one of my favorite blooms to grow. While you can find some types of snapdragons at the garden nursery, you are better off starting these gorgeous blooms from seed. I started a few varieties using the winter sowing method but I’m also growing a few under grow lights indoors this week. Here’s how to do it! 🌸Snapdragons can be started indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost in your locality. Use a seed starting tray or small pots with drainage holes filled with a quality organic seed starter mix that is pre-moistened. 🌸Sow the seeds on the surface of pre-moistened soil, pressing them lightly into the soil and lightly covering them with vermiculite. Snapdragons need light to germinate, so don’t bury the seeds too deep. Sow only one variety per cell tray as the different plants will germinate at different times. 🌸Cover seed trays with a clear domeand move them under grow lights. They do not need a heat mat to germinate like other seeds do. Snapdragons typically germinate within 10-14 days at a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C). 🌸Remove the cover when the seeds start to germinate. It’s OK if they didn’t all germinate, more will grow after the cover is removed. 🌸Keep soil moist by bottom watering only. 🌸Thin out seedlings 🌸Before transplanting snapdragon seedlings outdoors, harden them off. 🌸When seedlings are hardened off, space snapdragon transplants about 6-8 inches apart after the last frost date. Plant in full sun to partial shade in moist but well draining soil. 🌸Water young plants regularly from the bottom. 🌸Feed with an organic fish fertilizer for a few weeks and then use a slow-release fertilizer so feeding them is set-and-forget.

It loves sun and moist soil, perfect for a cottage garden with a wild edge. 💜 Liatris (Liatris spicata) – A tall, spiky bloomer for Zones 3-9, adding vertical interest. It thrives in full sun and attracts pollinators galore, plus it’s deer-resistant! 💛 Coreopsis (Coreopsis spp.) – A low-maintenance, long-blooming native that thrives in Zones 4-9.

Ready to breathe new life into your flower garden? If I were rehabbing an existing garden, here’s what I’d do.🌸

1. Inventory Check: What’s thriving? What’s not? It’s okay to say goodbye to plants that aren’t sparking joy, are overgrown, or fitting in with your vision.🌸

2. Dream Big, Plan Smart: Think about the vibe you’re going for. Love what you grow, and grow what you love. Remember, light, soil, and drainage are your BFFs in this planning phase.🌸

3. Soil TLC: Give your garden beds a spa day by clearing out weeds and unwanted plants while prepping the soil with some compost love. Healthy soil equals happy plants!🌸

4. Add Mulch: Don’t forget to tuck your plants in with a cozy blanket of mulch. It keeps the moisture in, the weeds out, and adds a finishing touch to your garden aesthetic.🌸

5. Plant Shopping Spree: Whether you’re into dazzling annuals, perennials with personality, or shrubs that make a statement, choose plants that fit your space and bloom cycle dreams.🌸

6. Design with Care: Place taller plants in the back, and group friends with similar needs together. Remember, good spacing is key to a happy, healthy garden.🌸

7. Water Wisely & Feed: Deep, infrequent watering and a snack of fertilizer will get your plants off to a great start.🌸

8. Keep It Up: Stay on top of deadheading, weeding, and loving your garden. It’s not just about the blooms; it’s about enjoying the journey.🌸

9. For continual blooms, plant a base of both cool season annuals (like pansies) and warm season annuals (like petunias and marigolds). Tuck in perennials and shrubs that will bloom in spring, summer, and fall. 🌸 Save and share this with a friend who needs more flowers in their life.

Dreaming of a flower garden that blooms from spring to fall? Plant some bleeding hearts! Is there really a more whimsical perennial plant for a shade garden than bleeding hearts (dicentra)? Aren’t the blooms unique? This beloved garden classic is prized for its charming heart-shaped flowers that dangle delicately from arching stems.

These enchanting blooms, which appear in shades of pink, red, and white, bring a touch of charm and elegance to any shade garden. While their bloom time is relatively short, typically lasting from April to June, their unique beauty and graceful foliage make them a favorite among gardeners.

Bleeding hearts are native to Asia and North America, and they thrive in USDA hardiness zones 3-9, meaning they can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. Depending on the cultivar, they typically grow 1 to 3 feet tall and wide, forming attractive mounds of foliage. Their leaves are fern-like and often have a bluish-green tint, adding to their visual appeal even when not in bloom.

Plant bleeding hearts in partial to full shade near the middle to back of the border depending on the variety so you can conceal the foliage as it begins to die back after blooming.

I love mine planted with hellebores, brunnera, virginia bluebells, lungwort, hostas, and astilbes. Are you growing bleeding hearts yet? If not, will you plant them this year?
