Buying cut flowers can be costly, so why not try growing your own in the garden? Whether you give them a dedicated space or mix them into a border display, it's easy to raise lots of flowers for a constant supply of fresh blooms.
What to do
Sow half hardy annual flowers directly into the soil or raise in trays between March and May.
Sow sweet Williams and wallflowers between May and July, for planting and flowering the next year.
Plant perennial flowers in gaps in beds and borders.
Plant spring bulbs in borders during late summer and early autumn.
Pick flowers regularly for a constant supply.
