My Favorite Online Seed Suppliers For Your Cut Flower Farm
Are you dreaming of growing your own beautiful cut flower garden this year? Have you seen your favorite flower growers and farmers on Instagram and told yourself that you’re ready to do the same? Are you ready to fill your home with fragrant and beautiful blooms all summer? If so, you may be wondering when and where to buy flower seeds?
Believe it or not, but winter is actually the best time of year to purchase fresh seeds for your flower garden. If you are reading this in the spring, you may find that many seed companies have already sold out of the more popular seed varieties. Make sure you sign-up and subscribe to the email lists of these seed companies below so you know when their seeds go on sale!
Seed companies often release their newest seed collections and seed catalogs in January. As gardening as grown in popularity over the past few years, the demand for quality seeds has also grown. One of the most economical ways to start a flower garden and get a head start is with fresh seeds.
Buy Quality Seeds For Your Cut Flower Garden
It’s important to buy quality seeds if you want to grow a beautiful flower garden. You will have higher success with your germination and also grow stronger and healthier plants in your garden when you start with premium seeds. Also, by purchasing seeds from reputable seed suppliers, you can be confident that the seeds you are planting will actually grow the correct flowers you purchased. I’ve heard horror stories of people ordering seeds from big box suppliers, only to find out that the seeds were incorrectly labeled.

While most of these seed suppliers primarily sell flower seeds, you will also find many varieties of vegetables available on these sites as well.

Don’t Forget To Visit Your Local Garden Center For Buying Flower Seeds
Many local garden centers sell organic and heirloom seeds. I’ve also found some of my favorite and best growing perennial flowers at my local garden nursery. Your local nursery will also know what grows best in your growing zone and climate. By visiting your local garden center, you may also be able to connect with other local garden enthusiasts. Plus, you’ll be supporting a family-run business in your community!
Last Year’s Flower Seeds Can Be A Great Deal
Sometimes you can find great deals on last year’s flower seeds when seed companies make space for the coming year’s seeds. I often buy garden seeds for the next year in the fall. It’s a great way to get some of your flower seeds at a discounted price! Once I receive them, I store them in a ziplock bag in my freezer until I’m ready to plant the seeds.
