You already know you want to grow cut flowers. But with hundreds of varieties out there, the hardest question is always the same one:
"What should I actually grow?"
From Seed to Bouquet: 8 Essential Cut Flowers answers that question — and then walks you through exactly how to grow each one, from the very first seed to the moment you cut the stem for your vase.
This guide covers the 8 flowers we recommend to every grower: the reliable ones, the beautiful ones, and the ones that will fill your buckets with stems all season long. For each flower you'll find:
How to start from seed — timing, depth, germination tips, and the best varieties to grow
How to grow and care for plants through the season — sun, water, fertilizer, and common problems
When and how to plant out — spacing, soil, and timing for your climate
How to harvest at exactly the right moment — so your bouquets last as long as possible
Expected vase life — so you know what to plan for
The 8 flowers covered:
Zinnias • Strawflower • Snapdragons • Gomphrena • Yarrow • Sunflowers • Basil • Peonies (bonus)
You'll also find a Quick Reference Cheat Sheet at the back — a one-page summary of sowing details and harvest stages for all 8 flowers, so you can check it quickly mid-season without flipping through the whole guide.
PLUS I’ve included a few VERY important helpful hints that I wish I knew when I started my growing journey. I can’t wait to share them with you!
This isn't a general gardening guide. It's a focused, practical field guide for the exact flowers that belong in your cutting garden — written by someone who grows them.
