What better way to celebrate the summer months than by purchasing some Michigan cut flowers for your home or office? The summer months in Michigan bring many flowers into bloom, offering everyone the chance to experience summer. Cut flowers are not only beautiful to look at, they smell great and add an extra bit ambiance to any room.
Many people are surprised to learn that Michigan is the nation's leading producer of geraniums, hanging flower baskets and Easter lilies, and the second leading producer of gladiolus and flats of bedding plants. Michigan’s number one cut flower is the gladioli with 33.9 million spikes sold, valued at $6.3 million.
Kalamazoo County is the country's largest seasonal grower of bedding plants, and is ranked in the top five counties nationally for bedding plant production. Ottawa, Kent, Muskegon and Monroe counties are other large floriculture-producing counties in the state.
The wholesale value of all Michigan floriculture products was $235 million in 1998, up 11% from the previous year. Cut flowers contributed $10 million to the overall sales.
