Locally grown cut flowers are a blossoming trend. There has been an increase in demand for them, whether for grand occasions such as
weddings or for simple home table settings. They are fresher, brighter, more fragrant, more economical, and longer lasting than imported
varieties. Local cuts save on shipping and leave a much smaller carbon footprint.
Both large and small farms are expanding their flower operations, as cut flower sales can strengthen and compliment income from locally
grown fruits, vegetables and herbs. Flowers also attract honeybees and other beneficial pollinators, and this helps farm production.
In addition to zinnias, sunflowers, orlaya, and gomphrena, cut flowers can include ornamental grasses, herbs (such as basil or dill),
foliage, or grains. Twilley Seed is delighted to offer many varieties of cut flower seed; look for this symbol throughout our flower section:
