There are so many you can grow -- see if this article doesn't inspire you!Sweet peas, snapdragons (tall ones), statice, globe amaranth, tall zinnias, sunflowers, larkspur, cosmos, bulb lilies ...
Tall garden phlox, daisies, coreopsis, yarrow, purple coneflower, black eyed Susan, taller dianthus...
Chives make a fun cut flower. 
Smelly though. (Like onions)
Daffodils, tulips, hyacinths....
Roses, peonies, lilac, hydrangea! Many shrubs make great cut flowers.
Hostas and ornamental grasses make great foliage in the vase, too.
A "long" lasting cut flower is five days or more. If you are growing them at home it isn't quite as critical that they last a long time because you can run out and cut some more.
