Flowers to Grow from Plugs, Not Seed
I'm still new to the flower-selling business, and it's taking me a while to learn what *not* to try growing from seed. Flowers like zinnias, marigolds, and sunflowers are easy from seed. I am even having good luck with dahlias. My celosia looks like it came up and is growing ok.
But for a lot of flowers, it is apparent that if one is trying to sell them as a live plant, buying rooted cuttings is the way to go. So if anyone wants to speed along my learning curve as to what I should buy in cutting form instead of seed, I would be happy to listen. Last fall I ordered mums and Montauk Daisies from cuttings, and they grew well.
