Scenes from the farm of some favorite September things. Quiet but not quiet.

Have you overwintered dahlias? Were you happy you did? I’d love to hear about your experience. Here are my candid thoughts: I overwintered dahlias for the first time EVER and let’s just say it did not go well. (Huge thanks to and for their excellent bulk tubers! ) This past winter was much colder than it had been for years (who can predict?). The survivors suffered through the plagues of summer (heat stress, corn borer, assorted pests) and looked like absolute h**1 compared to newly planted tubers. I know some people report success, but I was not happy AT ALL with the overwintered dahlias. Perhaps I should have cut them back more severely, or thinned more stems. I’ll leave some I don’t care about in the ground this winter and try different approaches next season. Do you like to overwinter dahlias in ground? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

You likely know how I feel about white dahlias (🥱), but this creamy, French vanilla dream is one I can enjoy growing. Swirls upon swirls.

Taking a moment to snap a few pics of some special things at the farm. The pitchers are a new obsession and I am having so much fun learning about them! Also, I changed my mind about astilbe; rather than toasted like my bagels, I like them even better lightly charred like my brick oven pizza.

The last several months have been a complete blur of events on- and off-farm. Thanks so much to everyone who has supported my small farm! I’m taking the summer off to attend to some family matters and hopefully do some travel. I will be back in the Fall!

Love this textural sparkler. More bunches added to the Rooted shop for pickup this Wednesday in Mt. Airy, on farm other days by appt.

Here’s a textural filler flower I love that’s looking really good right now. A pop of chartreuse and airy florets, nice tall stems at 2’+. I let this one part of the patch grow tight for those who want more slender stems that are not a struggle to use in bouquets. Available for next week in the Rooted shop! Pickup in Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philly Wednesday mornings, on farm other days by appointment.

Some of my favorite white, mid-season peony varieties. These are what comprise the “grower’s choice” white. Lots in the Rooted shop for the coming week! Pickup Wed in Mt. Airy, Quakertown other days by appt.

The early hybrid peonies are making way to the main season lactifloras with their classic flounces and fragrance. One just needs a few stems of these to feel very posh indeed (exhibit A, in my new favorite vase by ). Also pictured is one of the handful of people that I would let cut from my plants 😆 . No matter how dreary the day, it always brightens when you get to see a flower friend.

Peony season is underway! Like tulips, when peonies start popping, the demands of harvesting can take over your life—especially if the day is hot and sunny and you don’t want to miss the ideal window. Different flower forms require varying levels of bud maturity for successful opening: firmer buds for singles and semi-doubles, and very soft (veritably squishy) buds for certain doubles like Elsa Sass. Breeders are continuously developing new hybrids that have double forms but bloom earlier than their lactiflora relatives. Of course, I’m intrigued by the new and shiny varieties, but the charm and beauty of heirloom cultivars endure.

Shop is stocked for next week! New pick up location for wholesale orders in Mt. Airy on Wed’s 9-11am, on farm by appt other days. Peonies were the flower that started it all for me (and then the dahlias bloomed later that season so maybe it’s a tie). Hundreds of stunning varieties, and that’s just among the herbaceous class. The famous Pastelegance lives up to the hype with her very cupped shape and subtle pearlescent sheen highlighting the soft pastel colors. The price of her roots is also (in)famous so she is definitely a premium and exclusive bloom. Another unusual addition to the lineup is an early double, creamy yellow that lightens as it ages with a unique petal texture. Yellow was a sensation in peonies back in the day (for those of you who remember when Garden Treasure and Bartzella burst onto the scene), but this one is a creamy dream (also very exclusive). Some Etched Salmon may make an appearance in the shop over the weekend but definitely will be available in quantity very soon.

A top contender for “Most Nostalgic Cut Flower Award” would arguably be lilac. My favorites are “French lilacs,” (in honor of the accomplishments of renowned breeder Victor Lemoine), which are S. syringa cultivars with double florets. Father Fiala, a famous American hybridizer, also created some fabulous cultivars. French lilacs, and some S. hyacinthiflora, bear opulent, lush panicles that emit unbelievable fragrance. More modern hybrids tend to have airier panicles and, more oftentimes, single florets. The shrubs are ho-hum the rest of the season (well, S. pekinensis has beautiful bark) and tend to get leggy and awkward if not regularly pruned (right after it flowers or you’ll take off next year’s flowers), but I think they’re well worth it! Word to the wise, make a good map and upload it to the cloud because by the time they start blooming, the tags will be long gone!
