From the moment that Jessica Krohn planted her first delicate heirloom garden rose, she knew fresh flowers were more than just petals and thorns - they were a language of beauty, connection and artistry.

With a deep passion for locally grown, high-end florals, Jessica founded Petal and Thorn with a vision to offer exquisite, unique varietals in curated color palettes that inspire and elevate any design.

Nestled in Sioux City, IA, Petal and Thorn is a reflection of Jessica’s dedication to sustainability, seasonality and the art of floral design. With a background in cosmetology, Jessica combines a keen eye for color theory with an appreciation for nature’s seasonal rhythm. Her curated approach ensures that every arrangement, bouquet and wholesale offering is harmonious, artful and truly unique.

Beyond flower farming, Jessica is passionate about educating others on the beauty and benefits of local flowers. Whether through on-farm workshops, collaborations with industry leading floral designers, or opening the farm to her community for U-Pick events during the summer growing season, she aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for locally grown flowers and the artistry behind them.

At Petal and Thorn, flowers are more than just a product - they’re an experience, a feeling, a moment of joy. And for Jessica, that’s the greatest reward of all.
