Annuals are relatively easy and inexpensive to grow and there is a wide selection of heights, colors and cultivars from which to choose.
Most annuals have a long season of bloom.
To extend production during the season, growers should consider regulating the sowing and planting dates and choose appropriate cultivars. Selecting Cut Flowers to Grow To choose the most successful cut flowers for your business consider your general growing conditions, technical capabilities, and your market. Growing conditions may include the number of frost-free days in your area, your soil type, and sun exposure. Growers in Massachusetts have approximately 120 frost free days. Some plants can be direct-sown in the field while others must be started in plug trays and transplanted.
