Hardy Annual Flowers to Plant in Fall // Any Climate! 

Putting the names of each plant would be so helpful for us beginner gardeners!! Thanks so much!!

There is a foxglove that is a perennial called Digiitalis Grandiflora. It is yellow in color.

I have marigolds sprouting right now actually. Threw some dead heads into an unused area during the summer and am now using that area for peas and beans. ❤

I learned quite a bit. But now you’ve going to have to write a book about it!!

Love this new addition to your channel!!! My pansies over winter and bloom in Southeastern Michigan, zone 6a! I’ve had blooms on Christmas, poking through snow!

Thank you SO much Brian for doing the flowers/ornamentals Flowers Friday! Can't wait to grow in my knowledge with your help!

I wouldn’t miss a episode for anything.

Love the concept of also covering ornamentals as well as "food" plants.

Thanks Brian that helps me a lot.

Thanks Brian! This is one video I'll want to watch again and take notes!

I'm looking forward to your teaching me about flowers and ornamentals. You've taught me so much about growing veggies! - Rhonda

I love your new schedule Brian!! I live in zone 10a and can use all of the info on flowers/ornamentals as well as vegetables. This year to make it a little easier on myself I bought a box of wild flower seeds and spread them along the fence line. They're doing well but I would like some special varieties that aren't in the mix. Your video gave me some great ideas!

Thank you so much for including info on flowers since I grow veggies and flowers.

I’ve grown sweet peas the last 2 years. Planted about 40’ on the top of our hill. Also planted 2 other places in our backyard garden. Tons of fragrant flower bouquets for my wife. Ended up harvesting over 2 quarts of seeds to give away and plant this November

Thank you Brian. I wasn’t aware that snap dragons were hardy to zone 5. I may just go and spread some seeds that I hadn’t gotten planted this spring. Zone 6a. 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

What good info, and a great way to start your new Friday focus. I learned quite a bit! Thank you for Flower Friday ❤

I'm sowing Nigella for the first time. Can't wait to see the blooms.

Man I thoughtbI was done with gardening for a bit now I have do some of these 💐 flowers thk u

Love it! Today I was out reorganizing my flower containers. Coordinating colors textures bloom season and left room for tucking in annuals! Now I'll go and throw some seeds out. I love this format. Thanks.😎

Thank you for all the great information, Brian! As always super informative!

I really appreciate this video. I want to go throw tons of seeds everywhere outside tomorrow.

Since you mentioned it. My Calendula in Northern California zone 9 bloom all year, all winter. Aparently easily pollinate, produce big hardy seed that germinate readily. This is a remarkably hardy plant that can withstand alot of neglect in the summer heat.

Love this Friday idea. It's funny that you think such smells like clove, it smells like bubblegum to me 😄😄 I'm a florist and most flowers are greenhouse grown, so not many have a smell, but stock was always the one that I can still smell pretty nicely.

Thank you for starting a Flower Friday.

Thank you! I think this new format of yours is going to be great!

I’m soooo glad you are going to talk about flowers on Fridays!

Love that you are teaching us about flower!

Thank you, Brian, for this Flower Friday! Are you planning on letting us in on how you decide what flowers to plant in which garden? Say, what you are thinking for the English Cottage Garden and how you go about putting that together? Love your channel!

Loved this topic. Zone 6a here. I have planted out poppies, sweet William, bachelor buttons, sweet pea flowers, snapdragons, Viola, sweet alyssum, calendula, chamomile. I know some are not going to do much, but most have germinated. I love looking at them growing. But after I saw this video, I am going to do some yarrow. I have also been trying propagation of blueberry and blackberry plants. You need to update us on your babies when the appear. Down to 36 degrees tonight. Thx

Thanks for this addition! I'm in-between zones 5&6 I seldom do annuals because I love having the flowers come back every year. But this summer I planted Pansy's in a large pot they bloomed like crazy all summer. We just had our 1st frost and they are still going strong! Looking forward to more videos 🙂

THANK YOU, BRIAN I LOVE FLORWERS AND LOOK FORWARD TO ADDING SOME OF THESE TO MY GARDEN. LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT VIDEO. GOD BLESS

I'm in zone 4. My dianthus often come back for several years. My snapdragons are blooming happily in their containers by my door. Our temps have been on the lower 30s!

It is so cool and refreshing to see that grown men don't mind growing ornamental flowers for style and beauty on your property. #Keepupthegreatwork

Thanks for adding flowers to your tutorials! I am in the Midwest, zone 6b. I like to plant pansies in the fall to add some new color, and the last couple winters I have had them overwinter, blooming until very late season then coming back in the spring! The summer heat we get here takes them out though.

I’m so excited about this new series! My zinnias are still going strong in 8a but it’s 87 today so not feeling like fall yet at all.

Great infix Brian! Thanks , happy gardening🌱

Thanks Brian! Can you comment on which plants are toxic for pets (i.e. sweet pea, foxglove etc?)

1st of all, I am loving your shirt! Who says #Style is for the cities. Alright, now I'm gonna watch the show. 😁🤙🏿

Ooh, if you are talking trees, can you talk about espalier-ing and specifics about maintenance pruning for apples and such?!? That would be great. I know you have a vid on doing the training, but maintenance of them after a few years would be great.

Love this video Brian. I'm in N.Y zone 6a and I've grown alot of those flowers you talked about using the winter sowed method in milk jugs with great success from milkweed to cone flowers, yarrow since i run out of room under my grow lights. All have bloomed for me the first season. Foxglove has not or Sweet William. So eagerly looking forward to next year and this winter doing more varietys.

Yay!! I'm so excited for this! Thank you for adding this into the channel. This is my first time really growing flowers and I just started my hardy annuals in Central Florida

Just the information I've been looking for. Thanks!

Helpful info as usual and great shirt!

Great series and content!! Your channel is so Awesome, so happy for you!!!

THANKS!!! ‘Loved the content and excited for more!!❤

Keep up the videos. Thankful for all you have to offer. I enjoy learning more about all parts of gardening: flowers, tropical, over wintering, seeding. With your influence my vegetable garden has thrived. I have added a variety of crops, pollinator flowers, herbs to attract beneficial insects etc. I hope to start a small tropical garden as I learn from your gifted information. Thank you.

Thanks! I do like the add of other stuff. BTW we are in Fallbrook so we have followed your story. The move was too much like our move from LA 12 yrs ago. We love what you do.

Thank you Brian.

Thanks for the flower video

I just bought my first foxglove..I love it..thanks4 the info!😊luv this video! looking 4ward to Fridays, but Saturdays in Australia

Just the info I needed. Thank you!

Love the new format of your channel it show how everything works in a gardening 👩🏾‍🌾

Great information. I really enjoyed the video.

Giant amaranth allowing self seeding and you will have maximum seed production, bird seed through winter, and hardiness to spring back with leaves and colorful seed brooms

Thank you so much for this video! I learned so much!

I love flowers in my garden. It’s always the last thing to go. I live in SE Texas so I get to enjoy them to late fall/early winter.

I can vouch for your recommendation for growing yarrow in the North. It's a phenomenal perennial, comes in several colors, and the pollinators love them. I grow the pink, white, and yellow varieties in Zone 5b (Northern New England) and they successfully come back every year, even after sub-zero temps and three feet of snow!

I’m so excited to follow this. I have a blank slate for flowers.

I enjoyed this and got some good ideas for something new plant now. I especially appreciate that you mention the micro-climate needed for each flower and not only the zones. While my garden is in Zone 10a (Monterey, CA), it is nothing like your garden due to tall trees shading much of it in the winter. I am encouraged to try more of the "partial shade" flowers as companions and for the bees.

Excellent info. 👍🏼

Love the shirt and the content.

Love this - great job! Very helpful indeed. 8-)

Good info that covers many zones. I would be interested in discussion on flower bulbs like gladiolus and tubers like dahlias and how to dig up and store them in winter for northern climates.

Such great information.. Thank you for sharing it

Thank you for talking about sowing outdoors. I haven't tried many of these fearing they wouldn't come up. Giving them a try this year... thanks to your video. :)

Received the lumber for a new 16x20ft greenhouse to be built in the next few days. Can't wait to get organized and have some beautiful fun flowers, even over winter here in 6a in mid-southern Illinois!

So,show I was unsubscribed! But I’m here anyway🙏🏻❤️🎶

awesome thank you Brian!!

Love the shirt!

Love this new series even if my zone 12b (Oahu, Hawaii) has a non-existent frost date…lol. Still super interesting…thank you!!

Thank you, liked it….

Thank you so much for all the ideas for fall/winter flowers!

There are foxgloves that bloom first year from seed - I got mine from Johnny's.

don't forget dahlias - tubers dug up in fall, and planted in spring are beautiful sunflower height dish pan flowers - interplanted with sunflowers for total bee pollenation and colors.

Pretty good content... New subscriber ☺️

Hi, Brian. Love the Flower Friday addition to your channel. I'm in zone 6 and recently put in a flower bed for hummingbirds and pollinators. I mulched the bed using fresh material from a Chip Drop. I loved the idea of sprinkling around some seed from hardy annuals now in the fall. I heard someone say that mulch like this really needs to decompose on the flower bed for at least a year for this practice to work. Is this true? I've done it anyway, but just want to be realistic about my expectations so I'm not too depressed if it doesn't work that well.

I admit it. I'm lazy with flowers. I plant perennials. Mostly from bulbs cuz they survive. Just planted new bulbs wrapped in chicken wire. I'm in Zone 4b. We had a hard freeze last night. Only icicles grow during the winter here. lol

Free form Fridays Hooray!

Maybe you could add the names of the flowers with zone info to the video description. Thank you so much for this information. Just what I was looking for.

Thank you!

Loved the video !!!! Thank you for the information.

I Like this topic on flowers can you give us also the flowers that attract butterflies, thank you!

This was great! Thank you!

YAY! ❤ thanks so much for this

Oh and yes I do vegies and fruit trees and flowers

Loved this! Thanks 🦋

geraniums overwinter beautifully if you bring them inside

Super show. I’ve always been a veggie gal but because of your show, I started to add flowers for pollinators. I’m loving the flowers, not just for the pollinators but for the shear joy of color. I am in west central Minnesota, in zone 3-4, depending on the winter. I have bachelor buttons, marigolds, sunflowers and calendulas that all reseed. I wait in the spring to see who is going to come up where and then transplant from the my garden to where I want the flowers. I collect seed from our zinnias to start inside in the spring. This year, I put in snap dragons and have collected the seeds. I’m wondering if they will reseed. I see in your presentation some new to me flowers for next year’s garden. Thank you.

When you say sow outdoors, do you sow them in place? Or sow them in trays? Do you cover them in trays to keep in humidity? Have had no luck with black eye Susan's getting them to germinate. I'm a neighbor of yours in Oceanside. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

OK, completely not related to this video (I'm sorry! :) ) but I'd LOVE your opinion. Anthracnose took over my biggest vegetable bed, and I basically threw in the towel on that one for the year. Ised need oil, but not great soil.to begin with, my fault. Knowing it infected all of my plants this year, and that it can stay in the soil for several years, should I let it stay as-is next year and not plant anything? Or thoughts on putting pea gravel down and doing a bunch of raised beds on top? I've been tormenting myself for weeks 😆

Any ideas for a flower that hopefully blooms as long as possible, will not grow taller than a bird bath, and most critically thrives in heat and full full full Sun? Like as in marigolds and Shasta daisies shriveled there. And ideally/in a perfect world drought tolerant/heat tolerant/deer resistant & perennial??? It’s a weird spot in the front yard that gets blasted with sun all day long sunrise to sunset but is currently just an eye sore. I’d love ideas if anyone has any suggestions please! Purple is my fav but all colored flowers are on the table lol. Just replaced all the old compacted dirt with fresh compost and looking to beautify the yard 😊 thank you!

Hi Brian. I have seen so many of your videos which have helped me a lot as a beginner vegie gardener. There is one thing that I've not heard you mention and that is greenhouses. I have a very small walk-in greenhouse which I basically use for storing my tools and soils. I do also use them for my newly sowed seeds and for other plants that I will repot. I live in Northern California. Do you have any advice for using greenhouses? Thanks.

Thanks Brian, great video! I have your book but with the move, I don't know where it is right now and want to plant some brassicas and have no clue which are the companion plants for them. Would you be so kind to tell me? 🤗🤗

hi 🤗 im new to adding flowers to my vegetable garden, but it looks like i have a lot of options for zone 10a/b. tfs

Do you have any flower recommendations for shady areas? I have an area that gets just a little sun and hostas are the only thing I've been able to grow there. Thanks.

I love your videos, but I'll never grow sweet peas again. I did one year, and they took over the following year. They were also next to impossible to get out of my garden and yard.

Enjoyed your video! Any information on hollyhocks would be appreciated. I'm in zone 10a. I like to grow cyclamen in a window box on my porch railing during the fall, winter, and early spring. Many of them return the next year. I've never grown them from seed.

Can you sow any of these flowers in a pot

When you say hearty "to" whatever zone, does that mean from south to North or from North to south? From warm to cold or from cold to warm?

gerainmen grow all year here
