Cool Flowers by Lisa Mason Ziegler
Everyone longs for early, fragrant spring blossoms – Snapdragons, Bells of Ireland, Sweet Peas, Sweet Williams and other beauties. But few grow them successfully in their own gardens because they haven’t learned the simple techniques that make it possible.
Expert flower farmer Lisa Mason Ziegler introduces us to 30 of the long-blooming stars of the spring garden: the hardy annuals – those flowers that thrive when they are planted during cool conditions (instead of waiting until the warmth of spring to plant, and losing half the season!).
With the author’s simple planting how-to’s, you’ll have a low-maintenance, vibrant spring flower garden that keeps on blooming…and blooming… long before the “tender annuals” get started!

Hands down the most comprehensive resource for early spring flowers around! Lisa does a wonderful job providing to the point guidance to set every grower up for success in an easy to follow format. She has opened up a whole new world of flower growing for those first weeks of spring when we are all craving some beautiful blooms. Adding this book to your collection is a wise decision, it won’t ever sit on the shelf long enough to collect dust! Highly recommended!!!

This is the best New gardening book I have read in awhile. I am now so enthralled with the concept of Cool Flower gardening that I have gotten most of the flowers mentioned in the book and am trying my hand this winter/spring. I am thinking small, teacher gifts, flowers to the food bank and neighbors. Lisa’s explanations are very easy to understand and I love going to her facebook page to see what is going on at her farm now.

This book is a game changer. Last summer I decided to jump in and start a small cut flower operation. I had read about 2 cool season annuals I was planning to start in October-ish and overwinter them under low tunnels. Literally two weeks before I was set to plant my 1 x 50 ft row, Cool Flowers was published. The moment it arrived, my family was neglected for 2 days while I read, re-read and took copious notes from this amazing source of information. It changed my fall plans to 5 x 50 ft rows, with 8 flower types. (I wanted to do more, but I can get in over my head if I’m not careful…). I worried about these plants all winter, single digit nights, ice, tunnels that kept flying open, you name it. I uncovered the rows 2 days ago and WOW, they look amazing! Lisa obviously knows her stuff, and I’m so excited to have found this group of plants so early in my business. I already plan to add 7 more ‘Cool Flowers’ this fall, and increase how much of what I’m already growing.
I would recommend this book to all levels of gardeners. This information is presented in a simple and straightforward manner, and it works.
Thank you Lisa Mason Ziegler for making year round flower gardening totally do-able!
