What can I plant to save money?

Posted by BMT Blogger
Elizabeth asked:


I spend a lot of money on fresh cut flowers, and wanted to reduce the cost by planting something outside and cutting them myself.

I generally buy the festive bouquets, but the most important thing to me is they have a long vase life. [I cut the ends every other day and change the water including plant food.]

I live in Las Vegas, NV so it may be hard to keep whatever I plant alive during summer… Is there anything anyone can reccommend?

Thanks in advance, ANY suggestions are appreciated.

Can anyone recommend a plant or shrub tolerant to adjacent roads (very close) that can take salt in winter? »

    Blanket flowers are xeric and long lasting. What about Iris, lilies, liriope? All do well in vases and don’t need much water.

    Achillia is a very long lasting flower that withstands intense heat and drought.

    talk to your local nursery about options for your home.
