Also avoid using grass that has been treated with chemical weed killers. It might stunt your flowers.

Yes as long as the grass clippings do not contain grass that has gone to seed. If it does, well you'll have a lot more grass.

I use my grass clippings to mulch my containers for my flowers or my veggie plants. It keeps the soil moist and breaks down to fertilize the soil.

Variations
Grass Clippings as Garden Mulch
When you mow your lawn, take the grass clippings and use as mulch on your flower and vegetable beds. It will bleach out to a straw color in a short time and will help keep moisture in the soil, keep down weeds, and nourish the plants.

Once you try the above variations, be sure to come back and give a "thumbs up" to the one that worked the best for you. Do you have a better variation?
