Cosmos ‘Candy Stripe’

I love Cosmos as they flower all summer long (if you dead-head them regularly). This particular variety has white flowers with magenta stripes and edges plus feathery apple green colour foliage and makes a great cut flower. It grows to around 60-90cm tall and prefers a sunny spot in moist but well drained soil. I grow mine in containers as they look great mixed in with all seasonal bedding and add height to the arranged pots. Sow under cover from March to May. Plant out after the frosts have stopped.

Larkspur ‘White King’

This stunning white flower is also an annual, and is also another favourite of mine! It grows to around 90cm tall in a sunny border. Sow under cover from February to March or August to October – later sowings will flower the following year. Harmful if eaten.

Ammi majus

This hardy annual has lacy white flowers, similar to cow parsley. It is a really useful filler plant in any border or arrangement. Grows to around 1.2m tall, in a sunny well drained garden. Flowers from June to September. Sow under cover from February-March or August-September (a late sowing means the flowers will bloom the following spring).

Please note: This may cause skin irritation in some cases so we recommend you wear gloves when cutting and arranging in a vase. It can also be toxic to cats, dogs and horses.

Zinnia ‘Jazz’

Bi-coloured large flowers which are superb for cut flowers and are very easy to grow. Sow them where they are to grow as they don’t like having their roots disturbed. They grow to around 60-90cm tall and love a sunny border.

Verbena bonariensis

Love these flowers which are slightly scented and adored by bees! They have slender/wirey stems and a purple ‘bobble’ type flower on top and are really simple to sow and grow. They also self seed and are perennials which means they will die back in the autumn and grow again the following spring. Best to place at the back of a border as they grow to around 1.5-2m tall.
