What's that Flower in My Bouquet?

Local blooms change with the weather, length of days, and age of plants, meaning what we use in our bouquets each week is ever-changing. Here are some blooms you may see in your Mueller Farms bouquets.

Menu / Price List

Focal Flowers

These are the most prominent blooms in your bouquet; the stars of the show!

Zinnias

These beauties come in many shapes, sizes, and colors and because of their cheery faces and love of the Texas heat their blooms are found in nearly all of our bouquets.

sunflowers

Is there anything more sunny than a sunflower? Here at Mueller Farm we grow ProCut sunflowers. These are special florist varieties which produce one pollenless flower per plant. 

dahlias

Second only to roses, dahlias are highly sought after for weddings and special events. They are typically a fall flowering plant, but you'll see a few scattered through the summer.

Roses

We're new to roses around here, having only 6 bushes, so we don't use them very often. So, when you find a rose in your bouqet you'll know it's a tea rose that has been grown with love.


Secondary blooms

Think of these blooms as the supporting cast. They're pretty - some could even be focal flowers, but they won't outshine the true stars.

Celosia

We grow about 15 kinds of celosia. Here are a few of the varieties blooming right now. We also have a metalic hot pink, white, and a bright red.

Cocks Comb Celosia

This "brain flower" is an attention grabbing flower that can get HUGE. It comes in hot pink, bright red, and yellow. Sometimes the foliage is red!

Snapdragons

A favorite of the Bullseye Butterfly larve, Snapdragons come and go all summer - depending on the heat and the caterpillars. Ahem.

Verbena

A long-stemmed, understated beauty which offers a fun texture and contrast to sunflowers!

Daucus Purple Kisses

This one resembles our native queen anne's lace, but it related to dill and comes in both purple and white.

Yarrow

A hardy perennial that blooms in waves and comes in every shade of white, yellow, pink, lavender and red!

Salvia

A common bedding plant that also does well in a vase. We love its blue color paired with summer blooms.

Rudibeckia

Commonly known as a Black Eyed Susan, this one comes in a couple of different color combos.

Bachelor Button

Pretty much the only true-blue flower we have in early summer. Also comes in lavender, bright pink, and pale pink.

Bee Balm

A Texas Native that looks like fireworks!

Lisianthus

These rose-like beauties come in many colors and are a new addition to the farm. After trialing them this summer we'll be planting a whole lot more of them!


Greenery/filler

What is "filler" anyway? A backdrop. A beautiful stage where your blooms can really show off. Fillers offer contrast in both color and texture. And, not all filler is green!

Cinnamon Basil

Our #1 backdrop for blooms. This sweet-smelling basil has lots of fans in the world of floral arranging.

sweet basil

Your every-day kitchen basil. I love the bright color of these leaves paired with some pinks and oranges.

purple basil

A decorative basil of a different color!

apple mint

This is a soft, fuzzy mint with giant leaves and long stems.

lemon mint

A shinier, longer stemmed mint that smells citrus-y.

lemon verbena

Probably the best smelling plant on our farm and something we'll plant a lot more of net year.

hibiscus, mahogany splendor

A gorgeous contrasting color for some of our lighter blooms and a great fall foliage to pair with sunflowers.

eucalyptus

Probably one of the most identifiable fillers we use, and boy, does it smell good!

rosemary

Another herb that smells amazing and lends its unique textures to our bouquets

oregano

Yes, it smells like pizza, but it's delicate and we love the soft fuzzy leaves.

Herbs add a special fragrance to your bouquets!
