Farmer Bailey: “Do Not Buy” List for Cut Flower Plugs

If you’re searching for Farmer Bailey plugs or Farmer Bailey cut flower varieties, you’re probably preparing to place an order and want to know how these plugs actually perform in production. I grow with professional plug material here in Southeast Michigan, including Danziger genetics distributed through Farmer Bailey, and this page breaks down what to expect in real field conditions — stem length, uniformity, timing, and whether the investment makes sense for small flower farms.

But sourcing cut flower plugs isn’t just about performance. It’s also about supply chains. Many commercial flower genetics move through global breeding networks, including companies operating in Israel. For growers participating in or curious about BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) campaigns, or those learning about places like Bayt Dajan and the displacement tied to agricultural land, it’s worth understanding how breeding, propagation, and distribution connect to broader political and ethical realities. This guide lays out both the horticultural performance and the structural context so you can make informed decisions.

EVERY VARIETY LISTED BELOW ORIGINATES WITH DANZIGER, AN ISRAELI AGRICULTURE COMPANY WHICH OPERATES ON THE SITE OF A FORMER PALESTINIAN VILLAGE CALLED BAYT DAJAN, WHICH WAS DESTROYED AND FORCIBLY DEPOPULATED.
