The Field Guide to Specialty Cut Flowers
The Field Guide to Specialty Cut Flowers
Author: Dr. Allan M Armitage with Kelly Garcia
About
The guide includes quick reference tables and easy-to-access information. It will be viewed similarly to a traditional field guide, providing a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the subject, including cultivars, bloom stage, propagation techniques, planting times, spacing, and the all-important post-harvest procedures. The book will be physically robust, and we hope it will be tossed in the back of the wheelbarrow, tractor, or pickup and referred to in the field.
Whether starting a small-cut flower farm or just looking to expand your gardening knowledge, this manual will provide a solid foundation for success.

“Dr. Armitage has done it again! Every flower grower, no matter their experience level, should add Field Guide to Specialty Cut Flowers to their resource library. This comprehensive book is brimming with valuable information, including cultivar selection, propagation tips, spacing recommendations, succession planting advice, growing under cover, plus harvesting and post-harvest care.
