For flower farmers and farmer-florists, spring-blooming perennial flowers are especially valuable. They help bridge the gap between the earliest cold-hardy annuals and the abundance of summer flowers, providing reliable harvests during a time when many fields are just waking up.
These are five of our favorite spring-blooming perennials to grow for flower farms and floral design.
