Flowers that are grown for cutting arrangements have different traits than bedding plants. The difference between bedding plants and cutting flowers are the plants’ overall flower stem length. Cut flowers plants have tall, upright stems that are more suitable for arrangements. You can still incorporate cut flower plants among bedding plants, but they are best placed towards the back of a bed with bedding plants towards the front. Gardeners often dedicate a bed just for cut flowers. You may need to provide staking to hold the cut flower stems upright.
