Would you like to add touches of texture, layers of interest, and a bit of magic to your bouquets, arrangements, and landscape? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss eight of their favorite plants to grow for ornamental seed pods. They cover why pods are coveted by flower farmers and home gardeners alike, how the flowers of each plant develop into interesting and attractive seed pods, the cut-flower potential of both the flowers and pods, the proper pod harvest stage, reseeding potential of the plants, and more. From giant poppy pods to fuzzy orlaya seed heads, listen to the podcast and learn about the life of these flowers after the petals have dropped!
The video version of Lisa and Layne’s conversation will be posted to The Gardener’s Workshop’s YouTube channel, where all “Seed Talk” episodes are organized into a playlist. In addition, auto-generated transcripts are available for viewing on YouTube.
