Grow frost-resistant summer flowers - our best tips

Interest in growing cut flowers has absolutely exploded in recent years. And there are an incredible amount of beautiful flowers to choose from that are both easy to grow and give a large harvest. However, popular summer flowers, such as zinnias and dahlias, are fussy about cold, which means that the season will be short for those who live in more northerly latitudes. Fortunately, there are beautiful alternatives that can withstand a cold snap or two and thus extend the growing season.

How many times have you not been surprised by an early cold snap in autumn that caused many of your beloved summer flowers to die? It's just as depressing every time it happens. However, our cultivation over the years has taught us which summer flowers are more hardy and can actually cope with some sub-zero temperatures. In this category of flowers you will find, among other things, the summer rudbeckia, the rose sedge, the flower carrot, the lion's gape, sedge and various types of ornamental grass. These varieties come in a multitude of colors and shapes, so there are really good options for those who live in the more barren plant zones. Last year we got early snow in Stockholm, but once it had melted away I was able to pick up a bouquet of summer rudbeckia Sahara, magnolia, lion's gape and Italian quaking grass on December 2nd!! I call that a long growing season.

In our assortment, you will find the True North Bouquet Collection, which is specially designed to extend the growing season. And to create otherworldly beautiful flower beds and bouquets in a muted color scale of pink, orange and purple.
