What are the best annuals I can plant in my garden that are good for cutting for vases?

My favorite flowers for cutting are taller varieties of zinnia and snapdragon.

To be honest Sherry I don’t know. It was a variety pack. Got them at Homer or Lowe’s. Never grew flowers before but I think they are cooler than heck. Sure does make the garden look spiffy.

My snaps aren't liking this heat. Not blooming much. I just deadheaded a bunch so I hope I'll see some more color soon.

I planted "Mammoth" sunflowers this year....lots of them. I don't think they will be very good for cutting, but they should be great for seed production.
Yay for free bird food! ![]() |

Salvia farinacea (either blue or white) cuts well, and because a lot of the color is in the calyx, holds a long time in an arrangement.
