Garlic flowers are long, curly stalks that emerge from the bulb of the garlic plant in early summer. These stalks can grow up to three feet tall and produce small, bell-shaped white or pink flowers with a milder flavor.

To grow the garlic flower, follow these steps:
- Choose a location with well-draining soil.
- Dig a hole in the ground and dig a hole for the garlic flower.
- Place the garlic flower in the hole and cover it with soil.
- Water the garlic plant regularly.

Exciting! I’m most of the way through my first season growing cut flowers (New Zealand) and would really recommend autumn planting hardy annuals that are hardy in your zone – much earlier blooms, healthier and productive plants. Generally get transplants in 6-8 weeks before first frost. Try planting out spring hardy annuals 6ish weeks before last frost. Hardy annuals are a game changer for season extension. Snaps are great but are slow growing so I would guess you’d start them nowish over there? Potomac series are great for spring/winter sowing as they can produce though the summer if you don’t get too hot. A few of my fav flowers so far are: rose lilies, fever few (esp vegmo single and tetra white), procut horizon sunflower (upward facing blooms are great for arranging),strawflowers – the white sucks in rainy conditions but loads of great colours there, Qis pale blue statice, Benarys giant and queeny series zinnias are the best in my humble opinion. BGs are huge and have great disease resistance. Coco series marigolds are nice. There’s some great Amaranthus out there as well – coral fountains and hot biscuits are my favs. There’s also some excellent annual asters are there too – blues and all sorts of great colours. Heirloom chrysanthemums are making a come back too and there’s great varieties there for later in the season. Great decorative grasses around too, I know people in the states grow frosted explosion grass and limelight millet look great. Ooh also some ‘lace’ element is great.
I’m starting a whole bunch of flowers from seed this year too, perennial and annuals. I’m so excited for them to grow and hopefully we’ll both have good luck 👍 BTW there is actually a perennial sweet pea (though I know what you mean, there’s plenty without an equivalent). I have one growing in my garden and it’s huge. I think there are less colour options and it has NO scent at all (bees still love it tho). It’s drought tolerant, hardy down to zone 3 and considered invasive in some areas. It’s doing fine here but it does try to spread and I can see how it might get out of hand. Thanks as always, great vid 👍
I’ve never really grown annuals because I’m still a bit of a novice where propagation is concerned. But You never know. I will certainly enjoy following your progress with the cut flower stall, and might even be inspired to try growing my own back here in the UK. Always look forward to your great articles.
I was a perennial believer until I retired and had more time to devote to gardening. Now I’m actually starting annuals from seed, big jump for me. The flower arrangements go up a level when you have more choices and those choices are more consistent. Your articles are always so informative and thorough. I learned how to prune my standard tree rose from you and it bloomed beautifully and prolifically. I’m looking forward to seeing how your new venture turns out!
What are you using for filler plants, greens? Oregano and Basil both work really good and add a lite scent. How about Ranunculus for cut flowers, they are really beautiful and popular. Are you going to do Tulips and other bulbs? So exciting. You are really creating a fabulous place to visit. Wish I could visit but Sweden is a long way from you.
Love this article, cut flowers are awesome extra income. I stopped and replayed the build of flower stand bench several times. I could watch an entire article of that, great job with repurposing the wood! I noticed the build showed the individual planks on the bench top but finished bench in article it looks like you added a facia board to cover those boards on bench top. It gives me inspiration for repurposing some of my wood around my farm. I also am interested in knowing more about the build of the cooler / propagation chamber you showed at around 9:21 of article.
I have the same reason why i plant perennials instead of annuals. I dislike having to repeat planting. I even plant green onions that self divide to avoid starting from scratch again. But sometimes i do get the urge to try something new. Today, my first order of tuberose bulb arrived. I’m sure going to have fun learning how to care for it as i never grow tuberose before. Too bad tulips are not suitable here, but Crocus survive our weathwr. A few growers have notable success. That will be my next project.
Hello I’ve been perusal your articles over the years and love them, and all the useful information I’ve come across, I know you’ve touched on winter dieback with roses, I’m in zone 6A and get some winter dieback, my question is should one cut the die back now where it meets the green in mid winter, or should one wait till spring until regular cutback, I also mounded the roses in hopes of less dieback but still received some dieback
Hi Jason, I have a strange question I have a snapdragon plant. Looks like it survived an Ohio winter. It’s dark green leaves are soft I have not covered gas leaves. It’s about 1.5 feet from the house. There are Daisey in 3 sides. Not sure what breed I saved seeds from around the yard. I’m in zone 6b .
The bench is a perfect addition to the new space.👌 Love the canvas, a true piece of art and also a nice add for indoors as well. The A-P conversation is definitely an annual event.😉 Just like here, the what should I plant question is so full of options. I find the benefit of perennials is that as long as they are healthy, they are always there. The best part about annuals is the amount of choices. In real life, sometimes we that extra in the spring for being more creative in the yard or garden and other times we don’t. The perennials provide a look every year especially when we don’t have that extra time. I personally think of annuals as the artists paintbrush. There are so many varieties of annuals that you can literally do whatever you want in relatively short amount of time and even have enough time in the season to add other options for even more looks.🤙
Jason, I also like plants that come back every year because annuals always felt like a waste of money. This year I plan on planting more from seed for more long lasting color so I guess we are thinking the same way. I think it could really boost your growing business. Heres to you having more sucess in 2023.
Quick question: What temperature range can you keep the flower seedlings? I have the following on the go: delphinium, cosmos, nepeta, digitalis, salvia, dianthus, pholox, hollyhocks and dwarf sunflowers but don’t have a heated space to keep them once germinated. Will they be fine in a standard greenhouse at this time of year?
I am so excited to see this! The second I saw Professor Garlick, I knew I was going to make it and I have been searching for the perfect materials. I liked seeing how you did the gold appliqué bits because that is something I have wondered how I would do. Thank you for going through this (and for doing it right lol)
