If you love bringing fresh flowers indoors, creating your own cut flower arrangements is one of the most rewarding ways to enjoy your garden! With just a few select bulb varieties, you can fill your home with fragrance, color, and charm from spring through late summer!

Tulips are among the most popular springtime cut flowers. Their elegant, cup-shaped blooms and range of colors make them ideal for cheerful, modern arrangements. Try Don Quichotte Triumph Tulips for bold pinks, Foxtrot Double Tulip Mix for texture, or the showstopping Ile de France Triumph Tulips for classic deep red elegance!

Daffodils add a sunny touch to any vase with their trumpet-shaped blooms and joyful vibe. They're long-lasting, deer-resistant, and pair beautifully with tulips or early greenery. Great choices for cutting include Salome Daffodils, Replete Pink Daffodils, and Tete a Tete Daffodils—all top picks for both beginner and experienced gardeners!

For summer bouquets, gladiolus are a florist's favorite. Their towering spikes of florets add vertical drama and work wonderfully in both rustic and elegant arrangements. Try Xperience Gladiolus, Pink Event Gladiolus, or the vivid and fiery Vuelta Gladiolus for unforgettable displays!

Want a quick guide to picking bulbs that shine in a vase? Focus on form, stem strength, and bloom longevity. Here are our top recommendations to get you started:

Top 5 Bulbs for Show-Stopping Cut Flower Arrangements:

1. Don Quichotte Triumph Tulips – Classic pink with strong stems.
2. Foxtrot Double Tulip Mix – Frilly, full blooms in blush tones.
3. Salome Daffodils – Peach and white trumpets that soften any bouquet.
4. Vuelta Gladiolus – Intense color with tall, sturdy stalks.
5. Replete Pink Daffodils – Romantic ruffles and delightful scent.

Harvesting your flowers at the right time is key to longevity. Cut tulips just before the buds fully open, and always use clean tools to prevent bacteria. Daffodils should be conditioned separately before combining with other flowers, and gladiolus are best cut when the first few florets begin to bloom!

If you're planting with arrangements in mind, don’t forget to stagger bloom times. With a little planning, your cutting garden can supply bouquets from March through August. Don’t be afraid to plant in rows or blocks—especially when ordering in bulk!
