Plant description

Introducing our exquisite cut flower collection, curated for the discerning gardener and florist, featuring classic and contempoarary white flowering annual favourites for borders and cut flower vases.

What's included:

The collection contains one packet of seeds for each of the plants listed below. They will all come with their own specific sowing instructions.

  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Fizzy White' A bushy, upright, half-hardy annual cosmos with clear white, semi-double, daisy-like petals centred with a button of warm golden 'true' flowers. Finely-divided foliage adds to the charm of this popular cut-flower that reliably blooms, with regular deadheading, from summer into autumn. It's very easy to grow and makes an invaluable addition to the cutting garden or as a summer infill. Grows to 1m.

  • Ammi majus: Dainty white flowerheads that look like lacework are born in summer and seem to hover in a frothy haze above the finely cut, green foliage. The flowers are often used by florists to add a ethereal, romantic feel to bouquets, and they can last up to 10 days after being cut. Grows to 1.5m.

  • Lepidium sativum: Persian cress, a popular choice among floral artists, boasts sturdy branches adorned with countless silvery-green coin-like seed pods, making it an filler in bouquets and wreaths, whether fresh or dried. Grows to 1m.

  • Antirrhinum majus ‘Admiral White’: An elegant and easy to grow snapdragon that produces showy spires of fragrant, pure white flowers throughout summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting and look luminous when drifted through a sunny, well-drained border. Traditionally a cottage garden favourite, they will however look superb in most settings. Grows to 1.2m.

How to care for Elegant cutting garden collection:

Seedlings should be potted up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals throughout summer with a high-potash fertiliser. Taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.
