The Cut Flower Patch: Grow your own cut flowers all year round

Louise Curley looks at what makes a great cut flower, ideal conditions and soil and the tools youâ€™ll need. There is advice on what to grow â€“ from favourite hardy annuals, half hardies and biennials to spring and summer bulbs to adding foliage and fillers to balance arrangements â€“ and advice on how and when to sow, how to support your plants and tips on weeding, deadheading, pests and feeding.
Growing your own such means greater choice, working with the seasons and super fresh flowers. Bought flowers can be expensive and the international flower trade often means dangerous chemicals, poor working conditions for growers, demands on water resources and the â€˜flower milesâ€™ of worldwide airfreight.
This book will help you get the most from your patch with guidance on how to cut the flowers so that they keep producing more blooms and how to look after them once they have been picked. The Cut Flower Patch is completed by a selection of flower arranging tips and sample arrangements as well as tips on finding great containers, planting plans and a helpful year planner.
