Flowers for Cutting Gardens

The great thing about having your own cutting garden is that you can grow your favourite flowers in your favourite colours. Whether that’s bright and bold dahlias, classic roses and delphiniums or textured eryngium and astrantia, the choice is yours. As well as being a more sustainable option, your flowers will be fresher and have a longer vase life. Choose a good variety of shapes and colours, with some decorative foliage  to balance out your vases. For more ideas, see our list of 10 best flowers for cutting.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
