You just shouldn’t have a cutting garden without scabiosa. It’s such a workhorse, and so productive! Here is my favorite: ‘Fata Morgana’ her butter-yellow blooms are sometimes tinged with an antique rose hue, and she’s the perfect supportive bridge flower. I love her.

Dahlia ‘AC Rosebud’ is just made to be a cut flower! Her stems are strong, long, and delicate, her colors have fire and depth that allow her to bridge into bright summer palettes. She’s prolific and withstands the heat of direct sun in the front bed of my front garden.

Check out my stories to see how I experiment with growing her- this year I tried double cropping with sunflowers.

Dahlias are starting to come in more fully: this one is Valley Porcupine: a must grow for bouquets and wonderfully productive even in the heat of summer!

The first arm load of my favorite dahlia: ‘Hercules’.
For such a masculine name, I find her an incredibly feminine bloom, with the perfect sunset peachy mauve tones and those wavy petals reminiscent of a granny’s newly-set curls. (Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.)

But maybe the name is fitting, because this variety is one of the few dahlias with the strength to manage our intense summer heat and still pump out blooms. A robust, sturdy grower, the first flush of blooms are giant, but the following flushes, in my experience, are reasonably manageable.

Fun fact about Wild Whimsy: we don’t grow outside zinnia seeds— haven’t since year 3 of our operations. We just save open pollinated seeds fro@ our favorite performers the year before and grow what comes. What has developed is a lovely, blush-to-melon palette of gorgeously-doubled, beautifully-layered zinnia beauty!

My original seed purchases in 2019 and 2020 came from all over, so it’s tricky to pinpoint exactly which varieties were these flowers’ predecessors. But I sure do love them!

Marigold ‘Strawberry Blonde.’ So far the blooms are too short for cutting, but perfect for our edible boxes. They are my favorite summer color combo!
