There’s nothing quite like stepping into the garden on a cool summer morning, snipping fresh stems, and arranging a bouquet that brightens up your home (or a friend’s day). A well-planned cutting garden keeps those vases filled all season long, and we’ve stocked our seed shop with some of our absolute favorites to help you grow your own.

If you’ve been dreaming of armfuls of blooms, here are some of the great cutting garden seeds that are available on our website to help get your cutting garden started.

Celosia – Garden Lover’s Mix

Sunflowers – Vincent’s Choice & Vincent’s Fresh

Benary’s Giants Zinnias

One of the best things about Benary’s Giants is their incredible range of colors—soft salmon, rich oranges, warm gold, soft pastels, and bold magentas. Their petals have a beautiful form, and their blooms can span up to 4-5 inches across, making them a stunning focal point in bouquets.

Zinnias are also heat-loving, drought-tolerant, and incredibly easy to grow, making them perfect for beginner and experienced gardeners alike. The more you cut, the more they bloom, ensuring a steady supply of vibrant stems from summer through the first frost. Plus, pollinators love them, so they’ll help bring even more life to your garden!

Pink Lemonade & Peaches Celosias - New Introductions This Season!

We’re beyond excited to introduce two stunning new celosia varieties to our seed shop this year: Pink Lemonade and Peaches.

Both of these heat-loving, long-lasting blooms are perfect for fresh bouquets or drying for year-round beauty. Their tall, sturdy stems make them an excellent choice for cut flower production, ensuring a constant supply of richly textured blooms throughout the season.

Double Dutch Rose Cosmos

If you’re looking for a delicate, airy flower that adds movement and whimsy to bouquets, Double Dutch Rose Cosmos is a must-grow! Trust us, you NEED them. This variety stands out with fully double, ruffled petals in a striking shade of deep rose-pink, creating a lush, fluffy bloom.

Cosmos are incredibly easy to grow from seed, thriving in poor soil and requiring little more than sunshine to flourish. The more you cut them, the more they bloom, producing a steady flush of flowers from midsummer to frost. Their tall, wiry stems make them perfect for loose, romantic arrangements, and they mix beautifully with zinnias, sunflowers, and celosia.

As we said above, cosmos are super easy to get start from seed, but if you need some pointers, check out our seed starting cosmos video on YouTube here.

The Easiest Flowers to Start for a Cutting Garden

If you’re looking for reliable, abundant bloomers, start with the classics: strawflower, zinnias, cosmos, and basil (yes, basil!). These varieties are beginner-friendly, bloom prolifically, and keep producing as long as you keep cutting. Plus, their pollinator-friendly nature brings even more life to your garden. Check out other varieties we have available in our online seed shop, or via our YouTube video giving a little more detail about our favorites.
