Iceland Poppies ‘Pastel Meadows’ Papaver nudicaule  One of the most treasured spring flowers we grow, this magical blend of gold, peach, watermelon, blush and white is breathtaking. A citrusy scent and abundant flowering habit stretching from early spring through midsummer make them a highly prized cutting garden addition. Poppies can survive even the coldest winters; but because they don’t do well in high heat they are often grown as an annual or biennial. #floret #growfloret #poppies Flora, Country, Design, Spring Flowers, Early Spring Flowers

Snapdragon 'Madame Butterfly Pink' Antirrhinum majus  Often referred to as azalea snapdragons, these double-petaled beauties are adored for their pleasant perfume and long-lasting blooms. This delightful variety is a warm bubblegum pink with a lemony center. Because the tight shape is difficult for insects to pollinate, blooms last longer in the vase than other single-flowered snapdragons.  #floret #growfloret #snapdragons Urban, Parrot Tulips, Privet Berries, Flower Food

Biennials are a unique group of plants that produce only leaves the first year, and in the second year they flower, set seed, and die. This group includes sweet William, foxglove, sweet rocket, and other beloved cottage garden favorites. What makes these varieties such treasures is that they fill the wide gap between the last of the tulips and the first of the hardy annuals in the garden. Also, the more you pick these blooms, the more they flower. #floret #growfloret Spring Garden, Dandelion, Vegetable Farming, Farm Gardens, Trees To Plant

They truly are a cut-and-come-again flower: The more you harvest them, the more they bloom. A single planting will produce buckets of airy, delicate, daisy-like blossoms for many months. You can arrange them on their own or weave them into mixed bouquets. The possibilities are endless. #floret #growfloret #cosmos Diy, Flowering Plants, Propagation, Bloom Where Youre Planted
