Varieties 2026 season
Roses: the whole farm started with roses. We have over 80 bushes representing 70+ varieties including luxurious David Austins and classic Hybrid Teas.
Peonies: more than 200 bushes of 30+ varieties in creams, pinks, purples and reds. We’re especially in love with our 20 Pecher peonies, fragrant blush blooms that fade to cream as they age. Our peonies are young and we will not have as many blooms in ‘26 as we anticipate in the years to come, but we hope every subscriber will enjoy 1 or 2 into their bouquets this spring.
Ranunculus: aka persian buttercups, they’re expensive to grow, finicky about temperatures, and need coaxing to get stems long enough for our arrangements but dang…they are worth every bit of it. We’re growing tecolote and butterfly varieties in 10 perfect spring shades.
Anemones: also called windflowers these look like poppies but actually survive in a vase. These are a top 3 for Sarah. We’ve focused on our favorite variety this year- Carmel white, a true stark white with stunning blue-black centers.
Heirloom Chrysanthemums: Okay so mums are ubiquitous in grocery stores all fall long and they may not seem “special” or luxurious. However the heirloom varieties we’re growing have so much to offer. Vesuvio looks like a 3 inch firework with it’s white almost needly petals. Seaton’s coffee is layer upon layer of maroon to terracotta shades. Saga no yuki looks like creamy ivory paintbrushes and Pat Lehman’s peachy sprays look just as at home in a bridal bouquet as they do stuffed into a thanksgiving cornucopia. We’re growing 21 unique varieties this year and we’re positive you’ll be proud to see them gracing your table.
Tulips: singles and doubles, parrots and ruffles oh my! We planted over 1000 tulip bulbs in 25+ varieties. We’ve got classic shapes and colors plus loads of fancy ones you’ve never seen at the grocery store!
Daffodils: they simply don’t get enough credit as cut flowers. They can last 7-10 days in the vase, come in so many shapes and sizes and have been scientifically proven (by Sarah) to cure a grumpy mood. We have hundreds in shades of yellow, cream, white, orange and pink. Have you ever seen the ones that have a cluster of flowers on each stem and smell like a perfumery and a dream had a baby? We’re growing those.
Allium: these puffy onion and garlic-relatives can last weeks in the vase. Yes, the fragrance is less floral and more grandma’s famous sauce but these flowers are so special. We have blue, purple, red, multicolored and white varieties. Some varieties are bigger than a softball!
Cosmos: these don’t last as long cut as some other varieties (5ish days with proper care) but they dance in a vase like butterflies and we’re growing 6 colors in 3 different shapes and sizes.
Zinnias: everybody loves them for a reason. We’re growing singles and doubles and big fluffy ones you could confuse for dahlias. From 1” poms to 6” giants we’ll have these in every color possible.
Dahlias: you almost never see them in vase arrangements because they don’t ship well at all and need to be cut at peak bloom. Join our subscription program and enjoy them knowing they were cut within 24 hours of you receiving them! We’re obsessed with dahlias at Green Pastures and have hundreds- from 10” dinner plates to perfect 3” round balls. Our goal was to focus on 10-15 good reliable varieties. We ended up with 33ish. Keep an eye out for our tuber sales spring ‘27!
Calla Lilies: Sarah’s favorite flower and her only tattoo. Callas are not true lilies but members of the Arum family. They can last weeks in a vase and come in a dozen plus stunning colors. They bloom for about 6-8 weeks in early summer and this may be our favorite 6-8 weeks of the year! We hope to harvest around 1000 callas this year!
