New Cut Flower Varieties with Farmer Bailey

Today's episode of It's Five O'Clock Somewhere with Farmer Bailey broadcast on Instagram Live from lovely St. Louis, Missouri, where the team is participating, sponsoring and exhibiting in the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers annual conference.
The conference provides world-class educational sessions led by experienced growers, horticulture experts and savvy small business owners, as well as invaluable in-person networking. In our experience, the connections made by participating in the ASCFG have become lifelong friendships.
For Monday night's trade show, Farmer Bailey displayed dozens of specialty cut flower varieties that you can grow from plugs, including 3 Porch Farm heirloom mums and perennial Helleborus Gold Collection.
Watch the video above for an in-depth look at the displayed varieties and a preview of our bare root perennial program, launching in December and shipping this spring. Featured bare root varieties include Ilex Cresgold and Magical Daydream (winterberry holly); Symphoricarpos Magical Temptation (snowberry); Astilbe Vision Inferno; and Cotinus Magical Red Fountain (smokebush).
Take a peek at Dutch-grown Lisianthus in Roseanne Terracotta; new Pucchino Choco; Voyage Light Apricot, Celeb Queen and more. We're especially excited to add superior tissue cultured Limonium from Danziger of Israel for spring shipping; stay tuned for that launch date!
Join our next Live broadcast on the Farmer Bailey Instagram on Wednesday, November 22 at Noon ET / 11am CT / 9am PT / 5pm GMT. Our expert guest is JP Williams of Plug Connection in Vista, California.

[@daisybred]

Loved it, i wish the quality of the video was better so i got to see the beautiful flowers better!

[@farmerbaileyplugs]

Thanks so much for that note! It's a bit of a challenge because we have to broadcast in vertical format for Instagram Live. You can see photos of most of these varieties on farmerbailey.com and the farmerbaileyplugs Instagram. ~Felicia

[@daisybred]

@@farmerbaileyplugs Oh, i see the perfect pictures over there! Thank you. Beautiful.

[@YanickaQuilt]

Not a farmer but a hobbyist but I love all the new flowers. It probably means that we will start seeing those in 3-4 years for us lol

[@farmerbaileyplugs]

It does take time to get new things into the retail cycle! Some of our customers share plug trays with their local gardening club. ~Felicia

[@davidakerlund6296]

I tried these on a wim this summer into my bouquets when i was desperate to find something in my yard to use as filler and ive grown pitcher plants most of my life

[@farmerbaileyplugs]

They are so lovely in arrangements! Stay tuned for more videos showing off Sarracenia in bouquets. How cool you have so much experience growing these. ~Felicia
