  • Carnations are some of the most fragrant flowers we grow here at Floret and bloom all summer long from an early sowing. I'll be starting seeds in the greenhouse next week! For years I searched for long stemmed, old fashioned, scented carnations and only recently stumbled upon some great varieties that can be grown from seed. Over the last two seasons, we have conducted farm trials on nearly 20 different varieties in search of the very best ones for cutting that possess long stems, healthy growth, strong fragrance and unique coloring. Over on the Floret blog (link in profile) you'll find a photo-filled post titled Old Fashioned Carnations for Cutting that includes how we grow carnations from seed, how to support plants for long, strong stems and harvesting tips for maximum vase life. I hope it inspires you to give these scented treasures a try! #growfloret #floretseeds
  • Poppies are one of the best loved and unique flowers you can grow. I can’t imagine my spring cut flower garden without a big patch of papery Iceland Poppies (pictured here) or a summer bouquet without a few poppy pods tucked in for added texture. Yet, there seems to be a great deal of confusion about how to grow poppies and whether or not they can be used as cut flowers. This may be because, unlike some other groups of plants, not all poppies are grown and cared for in the same way. Over on the Floret Blog (link in profile) I created a new in-depth Poppy Primer. In this photo-filled post, I break down the four most popular types of poppies grown for cut flowers and explain what makes each of them different and special. I hope this new primer inspires you to tuck a few of these gems in your cut flower garden this coming spring. Enjoy! #floretseeds #growfloret #flowerfarmer #farmerflorist
  • The Floret elves have been hard at work shipping out thousands of packages filled with seeds to gardeners all over the world. We still have a mountain of orders to go until we're caught up, but the entire team is here and we're making amazing progress. A HUGE thank you to everyone who ordered seeds and to all those who have posted pictures and videos of their goodies once they arrived. I absolutely love seeing pictures of our customers getting their packages and thought it would be fun to do a little giveaway. To enter, simply post a photo of your Floret seeds or other goodies when they arrive (don’t worry, they’ll get to you before the deadline!) with the hashtag #growfloret. At the end of January I'll choose 3 lucky winners to receive a $200 certificate to the Floret Shop. Thanks for playing along!
  • Last year I started seeing pansies being used more frequently in bouquets by designers who are either growing their own flowers or have access to a really high end flower market. I have always loved these sweet, cheerful little flowers, but never really considered them as a potential bouquet ingredient until recently. Last winter, I collected all of the varieties that seemed most suited for cut flower production and put on a big ol’ trial. In total, we grew over 40 different varieties of pansies and violas. Pansies have a more stocky growth habit and produce larger faced flowers, while violas have a more airy and wild growth habit and much smaller flower heads. Both are pure magic! The goal of this trial was to find both pansies and violas that had beautiful coloring with long enough stems for cutting and vigorous plant growth. If you want to read all about our trial and see some of my very favorites, be sure to head over to the Floret blog, I put the link in my bio. #growfloret #floretseeds
  • I still can’t believe that for as many years as I have been growing flowers that I have only recently come to discover the amazing world of China Asters. Back in the day, when we were growing for grocery store sales, the only varieties on the market were run of the mill Matsumoto and spray types. There was nothing very beautiful or exciting about them, so I rarely included them in the garden. But a few years ago, I stumbled on a German grower offering the most incredible range of varieties that I had never seen before. Last summer we grew over 40 varieties and this summer grew 40 more and I am now a passionate champion for China Asters. What makes these plants so great is that they can be grown from seed, are easy to grow and flower at a time when the garden is starting to fade. As the day length shortens, this group of plants is prompted to begin flowering. In addition to lasting an incredibly long time in the vase, they come in a dazzling rainbow of colors and a wide range of flower shapes and sizes, including huge feathered blossoms, sturdy sprays of miniature buttons, tight domed flower heads and soft rose-like blooms. You can read all about our huge variety trial, how to grow them them, plus see my favorite varieties over on the Floret blog (link in profile). Swipe left to see more photos. Enjoy! #growfloret #floretseeds #farmerflorist #flowerfarmer

Tomorrow morning at 9:00am PST our online shop will reopen and be stocked with hundreds of beautiful flower varieties that have made the cut in our trial fields here on the farm. The team has been busy getting everything ready for launch day. There are so, so many details involved. You can view our new seed varieties (92!), plus all of our tried and true favorites over on the Floret site (link in profile).

  • New Years is my all time favorite holiday. I love setting big dreams and goals for the year ahead. Wishing you all a wonderful end to 2018 and a bright start to the year ahead!
  • The 2018 trial field was one of our best ones yet. Every year we grow hundreds of new varieties looking for treasures that meet our strict set of grading criteria, including long stems, disease resistance, unique coloring, good vase life and a delicate appearance or fragrance. At the start of last year’s trial plans, I was actually worried that I had grown everything out there. To my delight, there were still hundreds of new discoveries to be made and some very exciting new groups of plants that were not on my radar. Over on the blog (link in profile) I'm sharing a long, photo filled recap of some of our discoveries and will introduce you to some of my new favorites that we added to the Floret seed line this year. In total, there are 92 new additions! This beauty is Yarrow Summer Berries, which is the best yarrow mix I’ve ever grown. If seed is sown early, this perennial will flower its first year. Blooms come in shades of raspberry, peach, coral, blush, rose and buttercream. This versatile range of color is a dream to work with. We have a 100 foot row in the field and plan to double it next year. If you're looking for a little inspiration, head over to the blog to read my post. #growfloret #farmerflorist #flowerfarmer #floretseeds
