As a farmer- florist growing for weddings, markets and other florists, every year is different but these flowers did so well this year.
The requirements to be a stand out are that we use very stem and could’ve used more if we had it!
Take a read through for what we loved about each one and maybe you’ll be inspired to add some to your 2027 garden!
A cosmos that stands out as different with puffy centres. Perfect for when you want to have a floaty whimsical flower but are getting tired of the traditional white cosmos look.
I only use this in floral design as it’s not a long lasting cosmos.
Not as vigorous as other cosmos varieties.
Lace flower can be used in every aspect of a wedding, from bouquets to centerpieces she adds a whimsical touch.
Once she sheds her petals she’s also still unique and textural so she’s usable at every stage.

Blue continues to be one of the most requested wedding flowers while being one of the most elusive colours to find in a flower of course 🙄
This delphinium is the perfect light blue everyone is after and it’s a variety more similar to larkspur which makes it usable in bouquets as it’s not chunky like the other big delphinium varieties!
It’s also more cut and come again than my other delphinium which earns it extra space in the garden!
Another perfect blue for our brides.
Tweedia is short and takes forever to bloom so if you don’t do weddings I would avoid growing it. I put it in the hoophouse this year and it gave me two cuts and got slightly taller than usual.
An absolute winner in the filler flower world. She’s a perfect light yellow and works in weddings and market bouquets. My florists also cannot get enough.
I got it as plugs from another farmer so I can’t help you source it but it’s worth trying to get your hands on!
I don’t grow many purple flowers as they’re not super popular but this Scabiosa is a perfect lavender and resembles scoop Scabiosa with its large heads and strong stems.
Cut it way back after its first flush and it will reward you with another in early fall.
My number 1 flower of the year!
This is a true cold lo
