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!

Emily Nekl –
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!

“Cool Flowers” is an invaluable tool for all growers backyard or commercial, novice or experienced, young or old, green thumb or brown. As a fairly new commercial cut flower grower, I pored over this book cover to cover, and then referred to it time and again when setting up my cool season annual garden. It’s as though Lisa came to our farm and gave explicit instructions on how to do this thing successfully. I can hardly wait until spring when our now lush, green, healthy plants begin to produce beautiful, fragrant, colorful blooms! Thank you, Lisa!
