Cut Flower Collections Designed for Zone 8 Success
Plan your most beautiful cutting garden yet—2026 starts here.
There’s no need to sort through endless varieties or start seedlings on your own—we’ve already done that part.
These collections includes specialty varieties bred for bouquets and floral design, started and cared for over months, then curated into a proven planting plan—so you can focus on enjoying the flowers, not troubleshooting them.
All collections are available by pre-order only and must be reserved through our website. Quantities are limited and collections often sell out before spring. Once your order is placed, your plants are grown specifically for you.
Choose pickup or delivery, and your plants will be ready the week before Mother’s Day, perfectly timed for planting. No shipping is available at this time.
