If you are anything like me, you love a vase of cut flowers to brighten up your home.
For me it is a way of bringing the outside in, when the weather is dull, and you can’t get outdoors.
Obviously, I grow enough for the wildlife to have their share of pollen and will always make sure there are a few blooms left for them to enjoy.
But for those who are thinking of growing your own cut flower garden, here’s my top 5 best cut flowers to grow in the UK.
Alstroemeria – One of my all time favourites, this can flower late spring to mid autumn if the weather allows. It comes in a variety of colours and the blooms last weeks indoors. A little hint, do not “cut” these, just pull from the base and they will keep coming all summer long.
