Cut flowers are the foundation of a thriving business for growers, florists, and wholesalers. With a wide range of cut flower seeds, you can not only capitalize on market trends but also provide your customers with fresh, colorful, and unique flowers.
Popular and easy-to-grow varieties include sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, and snapdragons. These germinate quickly and bloom profusely.
This varies by variety, but many cut flowers from seed will last 7 to 14 days if you place them in clean water immediately after harvesting and change the water regularly.
Most cut flowers are grown in spring and summer. In heated greenhouses or with grow lights, it's possible to continue growing them through the winter, but this requires additional investment.
Most varieties like full sun – at least 6 hours of sunlight per day will ensure strong stems and profuse flowering.
Place the flowers in clean water immediately after cutting. Special treatment is necessary for some varieties that have milky sap.
As soon as the flowers go into the vase, add cut flower food and change the water every 2–3 days.
