Pick Your Own SUNFlowers at MERRI FLOWERS

Because of the adverse weather conditions over past few years we always put PYOs on the ‘maybe’ pile for within the scope of our business.

In 2025 we grew SUNFLOWERS & DAHLIA.

In 2026 we plan to offer SUNFLOWERS & SUN LOVING FLOWERS.

Let’s see if our plan works…..
