FLOWER FACT. FRIDAY
At a recent bouquet workshop I was asked how I decide which flowers to grow. Since I grow the flowers in my backyard, space is my biggest limitation. That means I grow almost exclusively “cut and come again” flowers.
These are flowers like ranunculus and zinnias where the more flowers you pick, the more flowers they produce. 🎉
Other flowers like tulips, stock, and most varieties of specialty sunflowers, only make one flower per plant. While I do grow these, it’s very limited quantities and at specific times of the year. Because these plants take up space for several months (while they’re growing), it “costs” more for me to grow them so I have to be careful!
