Lisianthus


We went Lisianthus crazy now that we have 3 High Tunnels. Trust me they are not easy to grow. But I start several of the colors you see here from seed in January. They will bloom August - October . Quite a time and space commitment for blooms just in August and early September. Get-um while you can.

Choosing Wedding Flower Colors- The Knot

http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-colors/choosing-wedding-colors/articles/top-5-wedding-color-mistakes.aspx
Excellent Article on Choosing Colors for your Wedding. I especially like the advise not to choose 'in' colors. 
And not try to make all the flowers match (blue flowers).

Local Flowers are Seasonal! 
We grow over 300 different flowers and foliages but we're still not going to have Peonies in August or Dahlias in May.
On the other hand, if you give us a color we'll get some of the most beautiful fresh flowers you've ever seen.

Consider the carbon footprint-

No boxes or plastic wrappers, or long plane flights
No inorganic pesticides, protection of the land we farm
Sustainable Agriculture
All great reasons for using or locally grown flowers for your event.
