Growing a cut flower garden is easier than you think! You can have tons of fresh blooms grown right in your own backyard. Let's take a look at how to choose, plant and cut some of the more popular cut flowers.
Cut and Come Again Flowers
Some of the most popular flowers for a cutting garden are ones that you can cut and they grow again, or "cut and come again" flowers. These include flowers like cosmos, snap dragons, zinnias, Dahlias and more. These flowers will continue to produce beautiful blooms for you all season and the more that you cut, the more flowers they will produce! We sell all of these as seeds and as seedlings in the garden centre! These are more productive than a perennial, but they only last one season and will need to be planted each year.
Bulbs and Tubers
Some of the most stunning cut flowers come from bulbs, tubers or corms, like spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils or summer flowers like the many impressive varieties of Dahlias as well as Ranunculus which grows from a corm. These cut flowers can be dug up at the end of the season and saved in a cold dark place indoors over winter to be planted the following spring.
Perennials
Other popular cutting flowers come from our Perennial section where you can plant once and harvest year after year! Some of the most impressive flowers as well as some beautiful filler florals are perennials. These include things like Delphinium, Yarrow, Phlox and columbines.
