Thanks for a great review of stunning flowers that are great fillers. I agree that your closing with the armload of beautiful flowers were so gorgeous and shows all of your hard work and dedication. I wanted to add comments about another filler flower I heard about - sea holly. I started some plants last year, they grew and established all year and this year came up very early (hardy perennial) and are blooming. They came highly recommended for a filler flower due to the shape and pretty blue flowers, however I find that they are very prickly, have a small thistle quality to them. I was hesitant to grow them but some said that they aren't as scratchy as they look, but I have to disagree. They are really great looking flowers, but I can't see that they would be good for a bouquet. If someone bent down to smell their flowers I think they could easily get stuck by the sharp edges of the leaves, although I do see them in market bouquets. I probably will remove them soon and then replace with something that is more user friendly!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you so much! Danielle, would you be willing to make a video on seed collecting from different flowers? I buy a variety of strawflower every year called Dreamtime Jumbo Yellow. I collected what I thought might be seeds last year, but apparently they were not seeds because nothing grew. I can only speak for myself, but a video about seed harvesting would be very helpful to someone who is new at it. If you don-t have time for a full video, perhaps you might have time to show how to collect seeds from just strawflowers. Thanks for considering this idea.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and informative video! Perfect timing for me. I don't have the space for a lot of indoor seed starting so the direct sow method is best for me. This year I focused on planting perennials in my newly created beds so this fall and spring I will direct sow some of your favorites mentioned. I am learning so much from your videos, thank you!

I enjoy and have learned so much from your videos. I wanted your opinion on the best book for reference for processing and care of all the cut flowers that you use and others. This video is so informative, you need to write a book. You have so much knowledge and I love the way you grow your flowers mixed in with the landscaping. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

What an informative video, thank you. I wish someone would do something similar in my hot southern grow zone 9a. I tried to look up every single one of your suggestions and I think I can only grow Yarrow. LOL You don't mention your watering setup to have such success in your garden, very curious to know how you do it.

As usual your property is beautiful! I am struggling with foliage and fills right now. Can boxelder be used with cut flowers? It is invasive but will prob be dead by the time it goes to a compost

Thank you for your videos, would you be able to talk about cutting orlaya similar to the details you gave for dara. Do I cut deep, does the umbrella have to be downward facing etc. Many thanks

Does your feverfew bloom all summer? I had a big flush at first and now it has slowed down and looks like it might be dying back? Too hot? Can I expect another flush in the fall?

Your garden is beautiful. I've moved my small garden off the hill behind our home down to the side of our home. It's nowhere as pretty as yours, maybe one day. I'm in 6b also.

Have you ever grown Eryngium -Big Blue-? I haven-t seen it for sale in the garden centers and was wondering if I needed to start by seed. I love this blue plant in arrangements.

I love all of these, too. But, unfortunately, the deer here are so bad that even most deer resistant things get eaten. I hope one day to be able to garden again without deer.

Enjoyed your video, beautiful flowers, I just planted Cinnamon basil for a filler flower, smells really good and looks pretty with my zinnias and sunflowers in a bouquet.
