Cut Flower Friday

Cut at the right time, and your flowers will sing for days. Cut too late? It's a tragic romance. Here's how to harvest like a floral pro.

Nothing says “spring has sprung” quite like a mason jar brimming with freshly snipped blooms from the garden. This week, we’re spotlighting early-blooming perennials with long, graceful stems perfect for cutting. These plants don’t just look good in a vase—they tell the story of the season.

Sure, flowers get the spotlight—but without foliage, a bouquet is like a band without a bass player. These perennial all-stars bring shape, texture, and that “something extra” that makes your vase arrangements look effortlessly lush.

Why choose between a lush garden and a fresh bouquet when you can have both? These perennials bloom like show-offs outside—and then turn around and charm your dining room table too. Talk about multitasking.
