Shrubs for Your Cut Flower Garden
While sometimes overlooked in favor of their showier annual and perennial counterparts, shrubs offer a unique and valuable contribution to the cut flower garden. Shrubs add structure and longevity to arrangements, providing both beautiful blooms and interesting foliage. Growing the right shrubs can yield flowers, foliage and berries throughout the growing season, and even branches and evergreen foliage throughout the winter! Check out our season-specific shrub recommendations, including shrubs that offer year-round appeal, below!
