Cut and Come Again Flower Varieties

Written By Krista Campeau

One of the most frequent questions that new cut flower growers ask is about bloom habits of different flower varieties. Commonly, which flower varieties are “Cut and Come Again” flower varieties, meaning you plant it once and it gives you an abundance of blooms throughout the season, and which varieties are “One and Done”. I pulled together a list of both cut and come again, and one and done varieties that can be used as a reference when planning out your garden for the season.

Cut and Come Again:
