Answer by hill bill ypumkin water mellon cantalopeAnswer by Silver Moon
I don’t know if you mean cut flowers or for flower beds.
Some good cut flowers for bouquets are:
zinnias
cosmos
bachelor button
gloriosa daisy
sunflowers
calendula are delicate but, they smell beautiful and will go well in a bunch if handled gently
Snapdragons, it is better to start these indoors 6-8 weeks before the frost because they usually are hard to germinate
scabiosa
celosia
Asters, start indoors also 6-8 weeks before last frost
