When late May and June hits, we can\u2019t help wandering out into the garden with a pair of shears in hand. Bringing fresh flowers into the house seems like a seasonal rite of passage for most gardeners (at least those that don\u2019t have allergies). But it can be a hard to cut those precious blooms and take them away from the landscape. That\u2019s why today we\u2019re talking about plants (perennials, annuals, and even shrubs) that we grow specifically for their flower-power. These options provide plenty of blooms for the garden AND the vase, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re our favorites. We span the color spectrum as well, with recommendations for every hue imaginable. And, we even have several selections that are deliciously fragrant. If you\u2019re looking to add some cutting garden oomph to your beds and borders, give this episode a listen. \xa0
