How to Plan a Coordinated Cut Flower Garden by Color

Now that you know what is available, here is how to translate color knowledge into a practical planting plan:

Step 1: Define your market and occasions
Wedding-focused growers need heavy whites, blush pinks, and lavenders. Farmers market growers need a broad range with emphasis on pink, yellow, and orange. Valentine's Day producers need reds and deep pinks. Know your market before you plan your palette.

Step 2: Build around a core palette of 4–6 colors
A well-planned cut flower garden does not need every color — it needs the right colors in the right proportions. A strong core palette might be: white (30%), pink (25%), lavender (15%), yellow (15%), red/burgundy (10%), orange (5%). Adjust based on your market.

Step 3: Plan for seasonal color shifts
Spring and early summer: whites, pinks, lavenders, and blush tones sell strongest. Late summer and fall: oranges, yellows, burgundies, and warm tones dominate. Plan your seed-starting calendar so the right colors are at peak production in the right season.

Step 4: Use mix packs for variety trials
Before committing to large quantities of a new color, try a mix pack to see how different colors perform in your conditions and sell in your market. The Snapshot Mix and Chantilly Mix are excellent for this.
