In addition to fruits, vegetables, and herbs, we also grow beautiful organic flowers. Many of the flowers we grow are edible too! We aim to have about 10% of our crop area in bloom at any given time. Flowers attract and feed beneficial insects, and they also help provide for plentiful honey production. Integrating flowers around and about enables us to grow our other crops without any pesticides, and they bring so much beauty and joy!
Here is a rough idea of the blooming times of many of the different flowers at our farm:
Dahlias - Late Summer into Fall

Calendulas - Almost year-round

Sunflowers - late Spring through Summer and into Fall

Cosmos - Summer

Zinnias - Summer and Fall

Marigolds - Summer and Fall

Yarrow - Summer

Anise Hyssop - Summer

Violas - Late Winter and Spring

Pelargoniums - Spring

Elderflowers - Spring and Summer

Borage - Almost year-round

Roses - Spring and Summer

Daylilies - Summer
