I’ve always had a deep love for fresh flowers. Growing up, I was enchanted by the blooms in my grandfather’s garden. He had a way of making rose bushes thrive and hydrangeas look as soft as clouds.
Living in New York City for a decade, I often visited the 28th Street flower district, buying bouquets of bright anemones or poppies. But mostly, I was content just being surrounded by flowers.
When I bought my house in the suburbs, I dreamed of a massive garden filled with every type of flower I could find. However, I quickly realized that growing flowers isn’t as easy as it sounds.
As a beginner, I struggled with starting seeds, understanding soil pH, managing aphids, and figuring out the best ways to care for plants. After a disappointing first season, I knew I had to rethink my approach. I didn’t want to settle for basic flowers just because they were easy to grow. That’s when I learned about “cut and come again” flowers.
“Cut and come again” flowers are plants that bloom multiple times throughout the summer.
Unlike flowers such as tulips, daffodils, or certain hydrangeas that bloom only once a season, these flowers keep delivering new blooms all summer. They are perfect for anyone who loves fresh bouquets all season long.
The best part? These flowers are great for beginners. They require less care and are more forgiving. Even if you accidentally cut the wrong stem or forget to water them for a day, they are likely to bounce back without any issues.
