10K reactions · 503 shares | The biggest mistake I made when I was starting the flower farm was trying to grow every single variety all at once. I spent hundreds on seeds I ended up giving away or didn’t care for in the field. If I were starting the flower farm tomorrow with the knowledge I have now, I would narrow down my grow list to these ten flowers for my first year. I would focus on growing seed varieties as they are inexpensive and widely available. With the exception of delphinium, all of these are relatively easy bets for beginners who want to get into cut flower gardening/farming. I’ve included a few of my fav varieties for you: 🌸 Zinnias; Oklahoma Pink, Benarys Giant Lilac, Queen Lime Peach 🌸 Cosmos; Apricotta, Double Dutch Rose, Double Click Bicolour Rose 🌸Strawflower; Purple Red, Silvery Rose, Apricot Mix 🌸Scabiosa; Fata Morgana, Salmon Rose, Oxford Blue 🌸Snapdragon; Potomac Orange, Madame Butterfly Bronze, Costa Summer Lavender 🌸Yarrow; Summer Pastels, Favourite Berries 🌸Foxglove; Dalmation Peach, Camelot Mix 🌸Statice; QIS Apricot, Forever Happy, QIS Pale Blue 🌸Feverfew; Magic Single, Snowball, Virgo 🌸Delphinium; Cliveden Beauty, Pacific Giants, Guardian Lavender (Delphs can be trickier to start from seed, but starts are readily available at your local greenhouse if seeding proves difficult!) ‼️‼️Be aware foxglove and delphinium are poisonous. This is not a concern for me but use your discretion! ‼️‼️ Flowers I would add in my second year after getting my footing would be ranunculus, dahlias, poppies, china asters, and peonies to name a few. Keep in mind this is for my zone 3/4 garden. If I lived in a warmer climate I would consider changing out a few of these top 10 options for heat lovers like celosia and gomphrena. What would you change about this list for your own grow zone?
