Mid spring flowers

A few flowers I’m most excited about growing in the garden are statice, sweet peas, and yarrow. This is my first time growing statice from seed and I’m most excited about using it for dried arrangements. I lost a significant amount of sweet peas last year during the polar vortex, so I’m happy to see them happy and blooming this spring. My favorite sweet pea cultivar I grew is called ‘turquoise lagoon’ from Swallowtail seeds. Growing yarrow is always a beautiful experience. Their feather like leaves are fragrant and their blooms are dense and delicate at the same time. Spring is invigorating and I can feel the energy of summer coming. I’m definitely savoring these last cool mornings. Up next, nigella! Zinnias! Dahlias!
