My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Shrub Selections for Cut Flowers

19 years ago

Hello All,

I have enjoyed reading many of your posts. I was an avid cut flower hobbyist until DH and I purchased 18 acres and horses. We will soon be breaking ground and moving to the property so I anticipate having opportunities to enjoy cut flower gardening again instead of running back and forth between properties. As I have plenty of property and I also love shrubs, I wanted to see what shrubs you suggested for cut flowers for personal use? I am familiar with lilacs, forsythia, mock orange, pussy willow, etc., and am wondering if you have any other favorites you feel would be useful to provide a vaseful now and then.

Thanks in advance.

Teresa
