full sun perennials for cut flowers

13 years ago

I could use any suggestions for full sun perennials for cut flowers that also last more than a few weeks...longer bloom time if possible, and deciduous flowering bushes can be included in your suggestions. Know anything about Honeysuckle bush deciduous with small yellow flowers for cutting for bouquets?

Coneflowers
Roses
Spiked Speedwell (in flushes)
DAHLIAS!- not really a pern. up here though
Spiderwort
Phlox
Catmint
Balloon Flowers

No perennial blooms spring till frost, that is the battle of the beast. Zinnias, Dahlias, Sunflowers ect will give you a longer bloom period in full sun but you eaither have to dig them up or scatter seeds each Spring

Rudbeckia, anise hyssop and campandula (Husker's Red) come to mind. Be careful with Honeysuckle as some are invasive in Wisconsin.

shasta daisy - white with yellow center
gallardia - yellow, orange & darker orange

lavandar & russian sage if you like that look and don't mind the strong fragrance. Salvias too for that matter, and they don't smell.

Oops. Above I said Campandula 'Huskers Red'. It's Penstemon 'Huskers Red'.
