Everyone has an important memory that involves flowers. Perhaps it is the memory of your wedding bouquet, full of beautiful roses, peonies, or wildflowers. Perhaps it is the memory of the funeral of a loved one and seeing the greenery cascading over the casket. Perhaps it is a memory of a holiday, like lilies at Easter or poinsettias at Christmas. Whatever the memory is, we all have moments in our past that are connected to flowers.

It truly feels magical when you bring to life these beauties yourself, in your own garden at your home. I remember when I saw the first anemone flower from a corm I planted, how gorgeous it was. I was so proud, knowing that I had acquired, planted, and cared for that little plant for so long and was rewarded months later with weeks of glorious pastel blooms. I have grown countless flowers at my home, in my garden, over the years, and I become more and more enthralled with this beautiful part of gardening each year.

When you first think of growing cut flowers, what comes to mind? Perhaps it is a row of daffodils or a small box of tulips or a bed of rose bushes. Yes, there are definitely traditional ways to grow flowers, as well as traditional flowers themselves, but there is so much more out there these days for anyone wanting to add cut flowers into their gardening journey. I will take you through the ins and out of growing cut flowers, as well as provide resources for getting started. Hopefully this will encourage you to give it a try this next season!

Why should you grow cut flowers? Well, first and foremost, they are beautiful. They will make your garden and landscape a more captivating environment, even if just for enjoying the view. Another reason is that flowers are expensive to buy, especially pre-arranged bouquets. Maybe you enjoy having fresh blossoms on your kitchen counter or dinner table on a weekly basis. Maybe you have a small business or shop that would benefit from the beauty of fresh flowers as decor. Buying flowers on a routine basis can quickly add up. If you grow your own, you can save a ton of money.

Another big reason to grow your own cut flowers is to avoid unnecessary chemicals and the like that often come with flowers grown far away and shipped into your climate. The majority of the time, these flowers are grown in huge fields and routinely sprayed with pesticides before being shipped with various holding solutions and preservatives to keep them as healthy and fresh as possible. Just like growing your own food, if you grow your own flowers in your garden, you will know exactly what goes into the soil and onto the plant before you bring it into your home.

Also, where will you be growing your cut flowers? Do you have a dedicated bed or area, or are you going to disperse them throughout your garden or landscape? Will you grow them in rows or bunches, or maybe even pots or large containers? Realize that, other than a few outliers, most flowers will want rich, well-draining soil and at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight. Also consider wind and rain exposure. Lots of flowers grow fairly tall, and a strong wind can easily break them down. See if you can give them some protection from the elements if you live in a blustery or rainy environment.

And that is it! Hopefully this starter guide for growing cut flowers will encourage you to add some to your garden this next year. There really is nothing like growing your own flowers and enjoying their beauty in your home!
