Cut Flower Garden Plan with Colorful Annuals Grow your own beautiful cut flower garden with this planting plan full of annual blooms perfect for a back bed or border! Grow your own cut flower garden
Wouldn’t it be great if you could walk out your back door and cut a bouquet of flowers to enjoy on your table or windowsill? With this plan you can do just that. A layered arrangement with taller plants at the back of the bed and shorter ones up front makes it easy to see all the flowers at once. Still, there are bound to be bare spots at times once you’ve cut a few bouquets. So placing this bed at the end of the yard or in an out-of-the-way place, such as next to the garage, makes the empty patches less noticeable.
Design a garden for cut flowersTo keep a cut-flower border looking good, choose a mix of plants for season-long color. The bachelor’s button and thoro-wax thrive in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall but tend to slow down in summer’s heat. That’s OK because the rest of this group gets going in early summer and keeps at it until frost. All of the flowers in this plan rebloom, so by cutting stems for your vase, you’re actually encouraging more to grow.
Give plants protectionPlacing this border right next to the garage provides some protection from storms that might flatten growing plants and put flowers in the mud. In addition, the tall amaranth, dahlia and Queen Anne’s lace will dress up what’s otherwise an empty wall.
Add a pathThis 20x12-foot border has a mulched path that leads into the middle of the garden, making it easier to tend and harvest. Place a few steppers in the bed where you might need to cut flowers or deadhead. This helps minimize soil compaction.

Sharing Nature with Children: Native Bees
Many children in my programs at the South Carolina Botanical Garden know an enormous amount about non-native honeybees. However, they are astonished to discover the vast diversity of native bees and their immense importance and efficiency as pollinators. In the United States, there are over 4000 native bee species. They range in size from the tiniest fairy bees (Perdita spp.) (found out west) to the giant carpenter bees (Xylocopa spp.). Here are some suggestions to increase children’s (and your) knowledge about our local native bees.
