About Petal Pickers Flower Co.
Petal Pickers Flower Co. is a specialty cut flower farm in Piedmont, South Carolina, just outside Greenville. Founded in 2017 by grower Daniel Schavey, we grow fresh, fragrant and often heirloom flowers, and ship flowers, dahlia tubers, bulbs and rooted cuttings nationwide.
Our story
Daniel grew up in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and spent most of his life thinking farms were gross. Then he got hooked on gardening, and one garden turned into a farm. He started Petal Pickers in 2017 with a simple goal: grow high-quality, long-lasting, distinctive blooms that connect people, create memories and bring joy.
Today Daniel runs the farm as owner and grower. Our fields and tunnels grow dahlias, heirloom chrysanthemums, ranunculus, anemones, lisianthus, peonies, tulips and more, chosen for fragrance, strong stems and vase life.
Where we grow
Our farm sits in Piedmont, in Greenville County, in South Carolina's Upstate. We grow in growing zone 8a, in open fields and in heated and unheated tunnels, which lets us start early in spring and keep harvesting late into fall.
Growing in the South shapes everything we do, from when we plant ranunculus and tulips to how we keep dahlias going through the summer heat. It's also why our growing guides are written for real gardens, not textbook conditions.
What we grow and sell
- Fresh flowers shipped nationwide: farm-grown cut flowers, harvested fresh and shipped overnight from our farm.
- Dahlia tubers: grown and dug on our own farm, from varieties chosen for cutting, with strong stems and repeat blooms.
- Heirloom mum rooted cuttings: we grow more than 50 heirloom chrysanthemum varieties and propagate cuttings to order.
- Bulbs, corms and roots: ranunculus, anemones, tulips, daffodils, peonies and amaryllis and paperwhites for winter blooms.
- Wholesale flowers: fresh seasonal flowers for florists, event designers and retailers in Greenville and the Upstate, through Petal Pickers Wholesale.
- On-farm events: our annual Dinner in the Dahlias, held each September and October.
- The Farmstand: our farm stand opens in spring 2027.
