Perennials for Cutting Gardens
A wide variety of flowering plants are suitable for harvesting colorful garden bouquets.
Heavy blooming, long stemmed perennials, like coral bells and fringed bleeding heart, are welcome additions to a cutting garden, some providing flowers all season long.
Other plants produce foliage that provide excellent fillers for a bouquet. Some plants have beautiful seed heads that add texture to fresh arrangements.
Regularly cutting flowers actually encourages the plant to produce more blooms. And as an extra bonus, perennials return to our gardens year after year.
Remember early morning is the best time to cut your flowers. Because some flowers stems begin to seal over as soon as they are cut, it is also helpful to have a container of lukewarm water close by to put them into immediately.
