Growing Flowers For Profit

Visit http://www.profitableplants.com for more profitable flower growing tips. Flowers produce one of the highest returns of any specialty crop. You can get started on a shoestring - just enough for seeds and supplies - and most new flower growers make money in their first year. Most flower growers have found farmer's market flowers bring top dollar. One flower farmer sells popular cut flowers like lilies, cosmos, statice, zinnias, snapdragons and daisies, and finds flowers are the perfect seasonal crop for her backyard nursery because they are easy to grow, produce quickly and supply an income all season long. Some flower growers like to grow cut flowers with large showy blossoms, such as hydrangeas and sunflowers, that can bring as much as $5 for a single stem. It's not uncommon to sell over a thousand stems in a single day at the farmer's market. Because flowers can be grown in a small backyard or on acreage, flower farming is an ideal part-time business for those in need of a flexible schedule, such as stay-at-home moms or retirees.
