Welcome to the North Carolina State University Fresh Cut Flower Program. North Carolina is proud to have a comprehensive cut flower program focusing on all aspects of the cut flower industry from new cultivar evaluations to greenhouse and field production to postharvest handling (visit our Cut Flower and Postharvest Floriculture Program). Information from the research programs is included here as well as links to a variety of sites that will be useful to cut flower growers. We thank all of the agencies and companies who have supported the program over the years.
