Having fresh flowers to arrange, decorate with, and give as gifts is something I have enjoyed more as I have gotten older. Last year was the first year I was able to do more gardening. We added multiple raised beds, and I started all our plants from seeds. While it seemed challenging at the time, I am here to share with you the easiest flowers I have found to grow for a cut flower garden, along with new ones I am trying out this year.
Things to Consider
Season of Life:
I’m not an expert in gardening, but I’m excited to share what I’ve learned. If I can do it, you can too! Starting with seedlings is totally okay. Find what works best for you. Two years ago, I couldn’t find any time for gardening. When I started looking into cut flowers to grow, I needed something simple and easy.

Space:
We have quite a bit of space on our property, but not much of it is level. While pots like these work great, I wanted a touch more space for my flowers. We opted in buying a couple raised beds. This one from Amazon, was half off and very simple to put together.
Purpose & Color:
Before picking your cut flowers, it’s helpful to know what you want to do with them. Last summer, I planned to share some with my bread customers at the farmers market. I chose bright flowers to attract new customers to my stand. It also helped to have an idea of how the flowers would look together, so I focused on similar and complementary color palettes.
