CSA SEEDLINGS: SUMMER CUTTING GARDEN FOR 2023!
*This offer will close officially end on March 1st for final seed germination.
Enjoy our curated selection of fresh-cut, summer flowers. You will receive 4 seedlings of each type of flower for a total of 32 plants. Our flower choices are hardy to Iowa specimens that germinated from seed and grown seasonally and sustainably on our farm. You won't find these varieties at your local greenhouse.
From wind, to sleet, to monsoon rains, to drought, these special flowers continue to brave the unpredictable outdoor elements while churning out multiple, beautiful blooms. They ask for little to no maintenance and love full sun.
These summer varieties grow the most perfect, long stems for cutting and arranging. All are "cut and come again" varieties. When the first strong bloom appears at the top, we simply cut it out deep into the plant to enjoy branching stems from the side. Don't worry, we'll provide instructions on this method!
We often find that balance in a Barnswallow Bouquet exists in five various floral elements. From hero flowers to filler. Many farmer florists use this knowledge in balance for seasonal seed selection. In particular, our seed selection choices are purely based on what we can use overall in a balanced bouquet design while considering seasonal growing conditions in Iowa.
This share is a one-time, pick up of 8 fresh-cut summer flowering varieties to fill your very own cutting garden. Each seedling type will come in 4-pack cells. You will receive 4 seedlings of each variety, a total of 32 plants.
All plants are germinated and grown by Barnswallow, utilizing our sustainable greenhouse that is temp controlled and built by local Iowan contractors with local Iowa products and recyclable materials. The seedlings will be hardened off and ready to plant upon pick up. The exact mix and color of flower varieties may be slightly adjusted after germination. We reserve the right to substitute based on the success of that seed germination.
