A little behind-the-scenes update from the past month! 🌱

We’ve been tending to cold-tolerant seedlings and some slow starters that need extra time to get going. These tiny green plants will soon grow into the beautiful blooms that fill our late spring and early summer bouquets.

We can’t wait to share them with you! 🌸

Next up: starting our summer-blooming beauties.

✨Feverfew✨

This one is a gem if you’re looking to add a cut-flower filler that’s actually a perennial in our area. The second year it really produces a lot!

The Magic Single variety is often mistaken for chamomile with its tiny, daisy-like blooms. So charming in mixed bouquets—and bonus: it has a long history of medicinal use.

Then there’s Sunny Ball, with its cute little yellow, button-style flowers. Totally different look, same hardworking plant.

And because we can’t help ourselves… we’re trying a third type this year 👀🌱 Stay tuned!

✨Marigolds✨

I’m sure you already recognize this one by name! So many of us grew up with these beauties in our family gardens. Whether your parents used them as border plants or tucked them in as companions for veggies, chances are you’ve known marigolds since childhood. If you choose the taller varieties, they also make excellent cut flowers.

I’ve grown the classic orange, bright yellow, school-bus gold, and even white varieties—but one look at my camera roll makes it obvious: orange is my favorite. Maybe because orange is my favorite color (yes, I know that’s an unpopular opinion 🤣).

Another hot topic: the smell. Love it or hate it? That unmistakable marigold scent actually comes from the feathery foliage. If you’re not a fan, simply strip the leaves before bringing them indoors. Personally… I love it 🤷🏻‍♀️.

They’re also surprisingly cold-tolerant and are often among the last flowers we cut back in the garden.

If you’re still reading, consider growing these little puff balls this gardening season. They’re easy to direct sow, beautiful in the landscape, and generous seed producers for seasons to come 🌱

✨Statice✨

Statice is one of those flowers you might not notice at first—but once it’s there, it adds so much sparkle to a mixed bouquet. I love how it plays the role of a “filler flower” while quietly stealing the show.

It comes in so many bright colors, making it perfect for complementing a wide range of color palettes. And it’s a full sensory experience too—brush your fingers over the petals and you’ll hear that soft, papery straw-like sound.

That papery texture is also why statice dries so beautifully. What a hardworking, useful flower!

✨Lisianthus✨

This was our first year growing it. It’s safe to say that it was our favorite new (to us) flower of the 2025 season. We only grew lime green and a deep purple variety, swipe to see a bucket full of them in full bloom😍. A few surprise colors popped up in the mix, convincing us we need to add more colors in 2026. Stay tuned to see which colors we chose!

✨ Dahlias ✨

There are so many different types. Many people love the showy dinnerplate varieties—and I get it, I really do. I definitely appreciate their beauty. That being said, my favorites are the ball types. I find their geometric, almost honeycomb shape absolutely enchanting. It doesn’t hurt that their vase life is longer, too!

Whichever variety you prefer, I think we can all agree that dahlias are a wonderful addition to our gardens🌸!

These above-freezing winter days have me thinking about the tulip bulbs we planted back in November. I like to imagine their roots soaking up the melted snow, quietly preparing a beautiful performance for spring. Spring bulbs might just be the purest form of Midwestern hope✨💐!

12/13/2025

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but spring is fewer than 100 days away! 🌸

Our bulbs are tucked in and resting under the frozen ground, and we’re already dreaming of what’s to come. We planted some exciting new colors and varieties this year—stay tuned!
