• Flowers which are grown in a bed, or border, specifically for taking indoors for flower arrangements.
• Bulb is a storage organ which allows some plants to survive periods of cold, or unsuitable weather.
• Most cut flowers prefer a location in full sun throughout the entire day. The field and soil should be well drained.
• Plants should be grown in beds raised 4–6 inches to maximize drainage.
• Poorly drained soil should be corrected by placing drain lines 10–12 inches deep under the beds.
• When selecting cultivars for cut-flower production, avoid those developed for bedding plants, since they are not suitable for cut-flower production.
• Annuals complete their life cycle within one year and usually bloom throughout the growing season.
• Perennial flowers have a life span of more than one year and usually bloom during a specific time period every year during the growing season.
• Specialty cut flowers require more water than many other field crops. They may require watering every day when produced in sandy soil or hot conditions.
• The optimum stage to harvest fresh-cut flowers for resale to floral retailers depends on the type of flower.
• If production results in more flowers than can be marketed as fresh-cut flowers, extras may be marketed as dried florals.
• Each producer will design a system which is unique, customized to his own abilities and resources.
• Fresh-cut and dried flowers can be marketed to a flower wholesaler, a retail florist or directly to consumers via a farmers' market.
• For the past three years, retail sales of floral products in the United States have remained nearly unchanged at just under $13 billion.
• India’s share in the world floriculture trade is negligible.
• There has been a significant rise in the floriculture exports.
