If I could go back to the very beginning — before the dump trucks of soil, before the seed catalogues, before I'd ever grown a single flower from seed — and hand myself a planting list, this would be it.
These are the ten flowers I would grow without hesitation. Not because they're the flashiest or the most trending, but because they perform, they're beautiful, and together they make the kind of bouquets that stop people in their tracks. I've grown all of them here at Sugar Flower Farm, and I stand behind every single one.
