6 Flowers We Grow in Our Vertical Farm
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Agrotonomy”.
Flowers are an important part of our vertical farm using aeroponic towers!
Vertical farming is often associated with lettuce, leafy greens, and herbs, but aeroponic towers can grow so much more.
Adding flowers throughout the farm creates a beautiful environment while also supporting the insects and pollinators that are part of the ecosystem.
In this video, we take you around the farm to show you 6 different types of annual flowers that we grow in our aeroponic towers, including marigolds, stock flowers, zinnias, pansies, celosia, and clarkia.
We primarily grow these flowers to attract pollinators and beneficial insects, which can then help pollinate the vegetables growing nearby.
Some flowers can also help with pest management, while others are edible. For us, however, the main goal is to integrate more biodiversity throughout the farm.

Can you use those in hot weather like above 90 degrees
Yes, absolutely! These towers can be used in temperatures above 90°F (32°C). However, the key is choosing crops that are adapted to hot weather, such as peppers, eggplants, marigolds, Batavia lettuce and certain herbs. Most crops start struggling when temperatures approach 104°F (40°C), especially during prolonged heatwaves.
In very hot climates, providing some shade or growing inside a climate-controlled greenhouse can help maintain better growing conditions. It really depends on your location and what you’re planning to grow!
Beautiful work 👏 I love how beautiful the Flowers look vertical 😍 and how it takes up less ground space. Those towers are awesome for smaller areas.
Thank you so much, we love how the flowers brighten up the space!
Seeds also play their part. High-quality seeds are needed, which is not easy to find on the market. Do you happen to know where we can find them, both for flowers and vegetables?
Or if you can recommend some websites or e-shops where we can order from?
Thank you
Absolutely! Seed quality plays a huge role in successful farming. We source our seeds from reputable organic, non-GMO seed suppliers in the United States and Europe, where there are some excellent seed banks offering a huge selection of varieties. It really depends on where you’re located, as there are quality suppliers in many countries.
One of the most important things is choosing varieties that are well adapted to your local climate and growing season, as this can make a big difference in germination, growth and overall yields.
How’s the economics of growing flowers compared to edible stuff?
We don’t grow them for their economic value, the primary reason is to attract pollinators and repel certain pests. If you’re looking for cash crops, you’re much better off focusing on leafy greens and aromatic herbs.
