In this special episode of Field & Garden, we're thrilled to share an interview that originally aired on The Dirt on Flowers podcast. Lisa Mason Ziegler dives into the world of cool-season hardy annuals — what she calls “cool flowers” — and why fall planting can be a game-changer for flower farmers and gardeners alike. Whether you're new to the concept or looking to refine your approach, this conversation is full of practical tips, inspiration, and real-world insights.
