Would you like to grow gorgeous anemones and ranunculus to include in your Mother's Day bouquets? Today, Layne is joined by Gretel Adams of Sunny Meadows Flower Farm to discuss her farm's top five Mother's Day flowers. Today's episode (part 1) features two of the five crops - anemones and ranunculus. Layne and Gretel discuss why Mother's Day is such an important holiday for Gretel's business and cover each crop's significance, favorite colors and varieties, whether the plants are grown in structures or in the field, succession planting tips, general bloom times, the number of stems each plant is expected to yield, and other growing and harvesting tips. Listen to the podcast and learn how Gretel's team grows anemones and ranunculus for Sunny Meadows Flower Farm's biggest flower holiday of the year!
