13 Best Hardy Annuals For Spring Cut Flowers| Gardening

Oh, feverfew! I love it and planted a bed of it. Great! It all bloomed at once (far too much for me to use) and then it all went over at the same time. Lesson learnt. Succession sowing is a valuable skill 🎉

Yes same thing happened to me lol

The issue I’ve had with feverfew is that it is daylight sensitive, so planting too late results in no flowers for me (or short stems). It doesn’t succession plant as conveniently as some things.

@@socutebracelets Yep, you're right. I will try two plantings this season - the autumn one (which worked so well) and an early spring one. Hopefully that'll see me through! Thanks mate.

Hello! I grow in zone 5b, and am looking to start some early blooming flowers! I grew a beautiful summer crop last year, but the wait for those to bloom leaves me many early months of no growth! If i planted these hardy annuals in the fall (after my summer crop is dead), would these bloom before i need to sow seeds in the spring? I know they overwinter, but my hope is that ill have blooms before i need to sow seeds in May. I'm sure two gardens would be ideal for this option, but i only have one. So im trying to squeeze in as much growth as i can, during the months when my garden doesn't produce. Thanks so much! 🌱💛

Not quite understanding why you are including perennials in with hardy annuals…🤔

[@claudettegross3792]

Yarrow for example is a short lived perennial which is why it’s typically grown as a hardy annual by flower farmers. I can see how it’s confusing lol

Some of the plant names given are of the sub-variety, not the actual plant itself so be aware.
