Cutting Flower Garden Plans: 2022

Many of you know how much I love to create fresh flower bouquets. After many hours of reading and being inspired by Floret Farm’s Cut Flower Garden book I selected my flower varieties for 2022 all from Renee’s Garden. Here is the line up…

Heirloom Zinnias; Cool Crayon Colors – These are long-stemmed, deeply petaled, full double flowers in deep lavender, carmine-rose, soft pink, and white.

Heirloom Cutting Zinnias; Moulin Rouge – These zinnias are bright scarlet, rich true crimson, and deep dark red that attract native pollinators, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Cutting Zinnias; Raspberry Sorbet – These are deep raspberry-tinted double blossoms that attract butterflies and promise to provide jewel toned bouquets all season long.

Butterfly Snapdragons; Chantilly Summer Flame – These are open faced blossoms with tall stems in a gorgeous mix of rich, deep colors including apricot bronze, dark orange, and vermilion red.

Hummingbird Foxgloves; Carousel Mix – These attract hummingbirds to their tall graceful spires of bell-shaped blossoms in pastel shades with freckled throats.

Heirloom Sweet Peas; Spencer Ruffled – These sweet peas have perfectly formed, big ruffled flowers with long stems to make beautiful bouquets.

Bouquet Cosmos; Double Click – These flowers are bred in France (oh la la) and have double large frilly blossoms in rosy red, pink, blush, and white with sunny gold centers.

Bouquet Larkspur; Singing the Blues – These are tall, graceful flowers with blossoms in glorious blues, violets, and whites.

I also planted four new varieties of peony (my Mom’s favorite flower) including Shirley Temple (cream and peach in coloration), Karl Rosenfield (a vibrant fuchsia), White Double, and Sarah Bernhardt (soft pink with yellow center).

I am SO looking forward to creating homemade bouquets with these flowers and sharing them with all of you!
