Text Agony Aunt Roz with your Cutflower Questions.Hi everyone, welcome to the Cut Flower Podcast! I'm Roz Chandler, and today we're diving into one of my favourite topics, growing your own wedding or event flowers. Whether you're planning for a big day or just dreaming about it, I'm here to show you how personal, cost-effective, and rewarding it can be to grow your own blooms.Episode HighlightsWhy Grow Your Own Wedding Flowers?There are so many wonderful reasons to grow your own flowers for your wedding or event:Save Money: Did you know couples in the UK spend between £1,800 and £2,500 on wedding flowers? Growing your own can cut that significantly.Love Gardening: If you or your family enjoys gardening, why not put that passion to work?Make It Personal: There's nothing like the feeling of creating something special and meaningful for your big day.Embrace the Challenge: It's such a satisfying project to take on, and you'll have plenty of support from friends, family, and local flower farmers.Planning for SuccessEnvision Your Style: Romantic pastels, bold brights, or wild, rustic vibes?Focus on Timing: Work backwards from your wedding date to ensure flowers are at their peak.Allow Enough Time: Plan for at least 12–18 months for a successful harvest.What You'll LearnI shared tips to make the process manageable and enjoyable:Best Annuals to Grow: Sweet peas, cosmos, snapdragons, and cornflowers are some of my favorites. They're easy to grow and bring a lot of beauty to your arrangements.Perennials to Consider: For weddings further out, think about roses, dahlias, and peonies. They get better with age—just like us!Foliage Matters: Don't forget about eucalyptus, herbs, and pittosporum to add texture and depth.Cutting and Conditioning: Learn how to cut flowers early, hydrate them properly, and keep them fresh for the big day.Join the CommunityI'd love to invite you to our free Facebook group, the Cut Flower Kickoff 2025, where you'll find guides, tips, and live "fireside chats" throughout January.

Send us a textHi, I'm Roz, and welcome to The Cut Flower Podcast! In today's episode, I'll be answering your most burning questions about seasonal flower gardening, particularly focusing on autumn tasks. From bulb planting to how to care for your dahlias as winter approaches, we're covering it all. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting, I've got practical advice to help you get the most out of your flower patch.This episode dives into some of the most common questions I receive from my membership groups and courses, including how to handle bulbs like Narcissi and Tulips during autumn. I break down why October is ideal for planting Narcissi, but why it's crucial to wait until November or December to plant Tulips to avoid diseases like tulip fire. We also talk about planting hardy annuals like Larkspur and Cornflowers to overwinter, offering practical tips on how to ensure they thrive when spring comes.We also explore the hot topic of dahlia care. Should you lift or leave them in the ground? I explain the factors that go into making that decision, including your climate and soil type. You'll learn about mulching techniques to protect dahlias and other tender plants from the frost, as well as the best ways to store tubers if you decide to lift them.Finally, I answer your questions about roses, manure, and the benefits of sowing green manures like Phacelia. Whether you're wondering if it's too late to plant perennials or how to best prepare your garden for winter, this episode is packed with useful advice for gardeners of all experience levels.Key Takeaways:Patience is key when planting Tulips: Wait until November or even December to avoid fungal diseases.Overwinter hardy annuals: By planting them now, you'll have stronger plants ready to bloom in the spring.Dahlia care: Depending on your climate, you may leave them in the ground or lift them. Either way, mulching is crucial for frost protection.Mulching your flower beds: Applying organic matter like compost in October helps suppress weeds and improves soil structure for next year's blooms.Leave your garden a little wild: Resist the urge to "tidy up" your patch entirely; seed heads and hollow stems benefit wildlife over winter.Thank you for joining me on this episode of The Cut Flower Podcast!
