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. Growing north Texas cut flowers can be challenging – we get a few severely cold nights (or weeks), but for the most part, our winters are very warm, making those special cool flowers like Tulips and Ranunculus real gambles, while flowers like Zinnias thrive in our hot summers. Here are some blooms you may see in your Mueller Farms bouquets.
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, meaning 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.
GLADIOLUS
These massive spires of color make their way into some of our larger arrangements. They’re true summer blooms, thriving in the Texas heat. You’ll see them in June and July.
RANUNCULUS AND ANEMONE
The very earliest of spring flowers, Ranunculus are fluffy, rose-shaped flowers and Anemone are more open-faced like a Poppy. Both come in a variety of colors and are highly sought after for weddings.
SWEET PEAS
The sweetest smelling early summer blooms on wild sprawling stems, these flowers bring back lots of fond memories of grandmas’ gardens.
ECHINACEA
Traditionally purple, coneflowers come in a multitude of colors.

CHRYSANTHAMUMS
Our favorite fall flower, second only to sunflowers, are Chrysanthemums. These beauties stun in a variety of colors, shapes and textures.
DIANTHUS
New for 2026
LISIANTHUS
These rose-like beauties come in many colors and are a new addition to the farm. After trialing them last summer, we’re excited to expand our offering for 2026.
TULIPS
These early spring blooms are a real gamble in Texas – too much heat too early leads to short stems and very few blooms. But they’re worth it for their bright, cheery colors.
DAFFODILS AND NARCISSUS
We’re used to the heirloom yellow blooms that announce spring is finally here, but we’ve fallen hard for some of the specialty varieties that come in whites, peaches, yellows, and oranges.
MARIGOLD
Unlike your garden border varieties, these marigolds grow tall with strong stems and a super sweet fragrance. They remind us of carnations.

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 that bloom all summer long. We also have a metalic hot pink, white, and a bright red.
COCKS COMB
This “brain flower” is an attention-grabbing bloom 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
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!

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 in 2026.
MAHOGANY SPLENDOR HIBISCUS
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!
BUPLEURUM
Small green leaves with golden-yellow flower bracts, this filler is one of our favorites thanks to its bouncy nature.
