FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY.
Many annual flowers fall into a category that flower farmers like to call “cut and come again” because the more flowers you cut, the more the plant will bloom. They are workhorses!
Our summer cut and come again flowers (like zinnias, cosmos, and celosia) could in theory keep producing blooms all the way until it gets to cold in November or December. But like anyone who works constantly without a break, they get tired! Especially with our long growing season.
One way around this is to plant “successions.” Some of the zinnias pictured were planted in May, others in June, and we planted a final group in July to keep the flowers fresh through the fall.
