The 2026 Season
This year I am focusing on making my website a hub of flower-growing resources for hobby flower growers and gardeners who live in the Pacific Northwest.
My first major project is all about ranunculus. You see the ever-growing hub of ranunculus growing knowledge (learned the hard way) here:
đ¸ Learn how to grow ranunculus in Seattle
Because Iâm focused on putting together growing information in a place that wonât be blown away by the algorithm, you wonât see me on Instagram this year. (I am taking a hiatus, but Iâll be back in 2027. My brain just needs a long break.)
Since I won't be posting updates on social media, to hear about whatâs coming up and whatâs new for WSFF, join my email list. I send a weekly email all about whatâs blooming, what Iâm planting and everything I learned from my latest plant massacre.

Online Ordering for Bouquets
Between April and November, you can preorder bouquets online for as early as next-day pickup.
Dahlia Tubers + Cuttings
Every spring, I sell dahlia tubers and cuttings that produce incredible cut flowers and grow reliably year after year. West Seattle always gets first access, because local first. My 2026 dahlia tuber sale will begin in March. Dahlia tubers will be available for pick up beginning the first week of April. Shipping for dahlia tubers will begin early April (weather dependent.)
Fall-Planted Bulbs, Corms, and Bareroot Peonies
Every fall, I sell tulip and daffodil bulbs, ranunculus and anemone corms, and bareroot peonies. Flower-farmer quality bulbs, roots and corms that produce flowers so beautiful, theyâll have your garden looking like Taylor Swiftâs engagement photos.
Meet the Grower
Hi, I'm Stephanie. Iâm a long-time Seattle resident who grows an aggressive amount of flowers in my tiny West Seattle yard. I am raising two small humans while working as a full-time detective specializing in child abuse cases. I use flowers, and West Seattle Flower Farm, as a way to counterbalance the stress of my life and reconnect with beauty, hope, and community.Â
I grow seasonal cut flowers, specializing in spring and fall seasons, and encourage others to grow flowers of their own â regardless of space and inexperience.Â
Where I Grow: An Urban Micro-Farm
I donât have sprawling fields of blooms like one imagines when they think of a traditional flower farm;Â I grow in a patchwork of raised beds right here in the middle of West Seattle.
The Beginning: It started with three raised beds in my backyard. Things escalated quickly. Â
The Expansion: I added more beds in my backyard and then more on the side of my house. From there, I built five more raised beds so close together that I need to side shimmy to get between them.
My second âflower farmâ: My grow space now expands to my aunt and uncleâs property a few miles away with several more raised beds.
WSFF now: I now grow thousands of flowers a year in just over 500 square feet of raised beds.
What I grow:
 I focus mostly on the spring and fall season. Hereâs a breakdown of my favorite flowers to grow for each season:
Spring: Ranunculus (my obsession), tulips, daffodils, poppies, anemones, and peonies.
Fall: Dahliasâoh so many dahliasâplus zinnias, snapdragons, chrysanthemums, celosia, strawflower, and veronica.
Fresh, Local, and Florist-Quality Flowers:
My flowers are usually harvested less than 24 hours before pickup. Sometimes even less than 12 hours. (If you see me in my yard at 5 am in my fuzzy pink bathrobe, just mind your business.)
I grow flowers the way Iâd want them grown if I were buying themânot covered in hard-to-pronounce chemicals or anything else I wouldnât want to touch or have in my own home.
I handle every flower like it matters, because it does. Proper cutting techniques, clean water, the right conditioning temperatureâall the unglamorous stuff that means your bouquet lasts a week instead of three sad days.
Buying a bouquet from West Seattle Flower Farm instead of a bouquet from Trader Joeâs is like eating fresh sushi instead of day-old sushi from a gas station. Both are technically sushi. But one might fill you with regret.
