Browsing a seed catalog’s colorful flower assortment is a welcome respite for gardeners in winter. But decision making can be challenging: tall or short? Shade or sun-loving? Annual or perennial? High Mowing can help you achieve your best growth yet with supportive resources for variety selection and growing advice from our gardening community. Cut Flowers
Double-Click Cosmos Blend.
Impress your neighbors and friends with fresh bouquets of premium quality blooms all summer by planting new Lion’s Mouth Blend Snapdragon which produces several colors and is stimulated by frequent trimming, or by sowing a mix of our reliable zinnias - Red Scarlet, County Fair Blend, Golden Yellow and Giant Purple - and cosmos - Bright Lights, Sensation and new Double-Click.       Edible & Medicinal Flowers
Nasturtium Blend.
Customers love our organic edible flowers, which offer unique flavor and unique beauty. Try our Nasturtium Blend which brightens up any salad with mild spice, and our Polka Dot Bachelor Button which produces prolific blooms in a range of colors even in poor soils. In addition to being edible, several of our calendula varieties are prized for their beneficial medicinal properties like Resina’s ability to fight minor inflammation.       Blooms for Pollinators
Lemon Queen Sunflower.
For growers who seek to encourage a healthy native pollinator habitat, sunflowers like Lemon Queen, Evening Colors, and Autumn Beauty are the perfect food for foraging bees and butterflies. Visit our blog for a list of good flower seed for pollinators including some vegetables, like okra’s bi-colored hibiscus-type flower, the edible blossoms of summer squash, and cover crops like buckwheat and phacelia.     Still undecided?
