Plant description

An exquisite cut flower collection, curated for the discerning gardener and florist using two superb annual plants sublime in their elegant, prolific, and easy natured white blooms.

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 'Purity': This popular, pure white annual cosmos makes a great filler plant for a sunny, moist but well-drained border. Dead-head 'Purity' regularly and you'll have a succession of graceful, pure white, saucer-shaped flowers up to 10cm (4in) in diameter from June to October - and masses of feathery, mid-green leaves. Grows to 1.2m.

  • 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. This annual also looks a delight in the garden, and has quite an architectural feel. Once the flowers have faded and the seeds have ripened, they will attract finches to the garden. Grows to 1.5m.

How to care for Simple white 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.
