Learn How to Grow Great Cutting Flowers in Your Home Garden
There are so many beautiful easy-to-grow flowers that will brighten up your home in spring, summer, and fall. And if you’d love to have your own flowers in the winter, there are lots that you can grow to use fresh and to make colorful dried bouquets and wreaths for winter cheer.
Many of my favorite cutting flowers are perennial plants. Perennial means that you only prepare the bed and plant them once. The rest is simple maintenance and you can harvest your flowers year after year. Here is a list of beautiful easy-to-grow perennial cutting flowers you can grow.
But there are also lots of annual flowers that are too good to pass by. Here’s a list of some of the best annual flowers to grow.

I’ve been a semi-professional flower grower. I’ve learned by reading, doing, and learning from other flower growers. I’ve sold my flowers at farmer’s markets, in stores, and I’ve sold my wreaths and dried flowers at craft fairs and small markets. See the About page for how I fell in love with flower gardening. You will too!
