Grow a cutting garden

Bouquets all summer.

5 min read

A small bed just for cutting means you can pick freely without stripping your borders.

Easy cut flowers

  • Zinnias: the more you cut, the more they bloom
  • Cosmos: airy and nonstop
  • Sunflowers: choose branching types for more stems
  • Snapdragons: tall spikes for cooler weather
  • Dahlias: a showpiece from midsummer to frost

Layout

Plant in rows or blocks so you can reach every flower, and stagger sowing every few weeks for steady blooms.
