We made growing cut flowers simple with this ‘Sow and Grow’ collection. Easy to grow for the novice gardener and a flower selection that old gardeners will enjoy too. No need to start any seeds indoors with this collection, but of course, you can and will get even earlier blooms.

A bountiful harvest of flowers will be ready for cutting, starting around 50 days after sowing, from early summer until the end of the season. This collection contains the majestic Oklahoma Zinnia, with the perfect-sized cutting flowers in a rainbow of colors, Tall Mix Centaurea, also known as bachelor buttons or cornflowers, loved by gardeners for hundreds of years. They come in mystical blue shades along with pinks and whites. Pink Surprise Calendula’s puffy double flowers will be the first to cut, and the little-known Paper Daisy will reward you with fresh and everlasting bouquets. Cosmos are the free spirits, with dancing and floating flowers going every which way, offering a delicate beauty to arrangements and the sunflower mix grows an array of flowers from short to tall and single to double. The flowers in this collection will not only fill up your vases, the pollinators and beneficial insects will love it too!
