About Our Flowers
All of our spring, summer and fall flowers are grown on the same rich soils as our fruits and vegetables, creating a vibrant and colorful selection for our straight bunches, single stems and mixed bouquets. We start most of our spring blooming flowers in the fall, with plants wintering over in the field and unheated greenhouses, or hoophouses. These varieties provide our large selection of spring flowers in April, May, and June. Our summer annuals, started during the spring, bloom during the hotter months and our ornamental grasses, peppers and broomcorn add interest to bouquets through the late summer and early fall. We have something in bloom from March through October.

Lovely, long lasting Lisianthus blooms in late June and July, as do the erotically scented Oriental Lilies. With the onset of summer, Zinnias, Marigolds, Gomphrena and Celosias become mainstays of our bouquets. We’ll have an abundance of bright Sunflowers from June through October, when deep purple millet makes a striking accent in arrangements. Mid and late summer bring the sweet, seductive scent of Tuberoses. As the nights cool in September, the colors of Zinnias, Marigolds, Celosia, Cosmos, and Sunflowers get bright and strong, contrasting to the red and purple of ornamental peppers. Late season Lilies and Dahlias enjoy the cool fall weather until frost brings our fresh cut flower season to a close. We continue to sell a selection of dried flower bouquets and dried flower wreathes through the remainder of our market season.
