Thanks for visiting the Freshcutky organic gardening channel. In the garden, I will answer some of the most common "gardening for beginners" type questions I get, including growing flowers from seed. Growing greens, growing flowers, and planting beautiful organic food is something I'm really passionate about. Thank you for joining me as I learn to grow flowers, cut flowers, vegetables, and much more. Freshcutky youtube channel and related media are for entertainment purposes only.

Many ornamental flowers and cut flowers are TOXIC. ALWAYS do your own research and take responsibility for the plants that you introduce around your kids, pets, and everyone else. Use common sense when handling plant materials: wear gloves, always wash hands, avoid contact with face, etc. NEVER consume any plant which has not been positively identified with complete certainty to be safe and edible. Before planting anything, research to determine whether specific flowers are considered invasive where you live or if there are laws that apply to their planting in your area.

@freshcutky documents the pursuit of my goal of one day owning my own cut flower farm. Along the way, you'll see random projects, cooking, and of course - growing stuff. I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be. There's always more to learn - this is my journey. The purpose of my blog, and other social media accounts (including YouTube) is to share ideas. I do my best to offer information that is useful, but reliance on that information is strictly at your own risk and NOT a substitute for professional advice of any kind.

I'm in zone 3 in 🇨🇦 and sweet williams are pretty hardy here and will come back the next year.

Wow, that's such a gorgeous coral color! I bought red rockin' dianthus at my local Kroger this year. Little 4" pots.They're growing beautifully. The tag says perennial so I hope to see them back next year.

[Andrean]

I liked how you talked about both the dianthus and carnations. I had been confused for a little while about how they are different. This was very helpful. Thank you.

[nadiafeaster]

I'm gonna have to try carnations now.😊

[cherisse]

I just love your channel. I always look forward to your videos and play them on repeat.

HOLY FLIPPING CRAP THAT CORAL IS I'VE SEEEEN THAT COLOR B4 IM

[heatherdoolittle]

I want to try growing carnations this year! We will see if I decide to do some winter sowing this year- I’d love a video on what you winter sow each year!

[stefaniecurry]

Beautiful! I’ve just planted carnations and am also in KY Zone 6b. New sub here.

[meganfarley]

Great info. I love watching your videos and learning, you have lots of great knowledge that I'll be applying to my cut flower garden. I'm lucky enough that carnations are a perennial in my garden in Melbourne Australia. I grew them last year but never planted them out so hopefully this coming summer I can have some lovely blooms 😊

[cherigreen]

I love carnations! They last for weeks in a vase if I change the water every few days.

I'm going to try growing carnations in zone 6a this coming year and am hoping to get a good start. There is a grower, Zoe Woodward, in the UK (basically zone 9a) who suggests that they are very particular about germinating temperatures :66-72F, but like cooler temperatures to grow/branch.

I have a couple of carnation plants that I recently moved from a pot back to the raised bed where I started them... I had no idea they were biennial when I planted them (would have been helpful).. I almost cut them back because they weren't flowering!! 🤦🏾😅
It was a mixed seed packet, so now I have one very good sized coral colored plant and a pretty deep purple one! 😁

[tlovesgreens]

Your dianthus are so perfect. I have some in a raised bed. Do you think they will be ok if put them in the landscape in clay soil? I think I'm going to cut them so I won't worry with them going to seed.

[lyndalee]

Hi thanks for sharing.. .can you please let me know how to get the seeds from the flowers? Thanks again

[reshmaresh]

Great video, thank you… how well would dianthus do in part sun….?and from where did you get your sweet William seeds?

[brendarosenau]

Great video! Love the coral sweet William ❤️❤️!

One question, I am growing carnation for the first time. Do they branch? Should I be pinching them at a certain height? I am so excited to watch them bloom! 🤞🏻 Thanks for inspiring me!!

[jeanninemccoy]

How can I find seeds to produce large, long, stemmed full carnations?

[cslheawood]

I’ve tried to grow dianthus twice and twice the buds have struggled to open and flower, just go brown on the stem!? I don’t know whether my conditions have been too wet or too dry but I’m in England so it just never gets that hot n dry here🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know, really really annoying so if anybody can point me in the right direction I’ll be very greteful🙏🏼 thank you

[Boringcountrylife]

Should have watched this 2 months ago. It's April and my plants have just sprouted. If they can handle the heat of summer they should bloom next year?

[SaarasGarden]

Great love this flowers you tell me how to grow these? I bought this plant. Now it does not flower .. Can you tell me..🙏🌷subb!!your channel (new)
