    Easy recommendations for a cut flower garden.

    Hello everyone.

    I'd like to use a corner of my plot for a small cut-flower garden. The corner I have in mind is quite exposed. What can you recommend that's relatively easy to grow?
    I love hydrangeas so am hoping to get a hydrangea bush, but other than that I have no idea! I'm a total novice at flower growing!

    Thank you

    Sunflowers, rudbeckia(sow seed now) echinacea, dahlia, gladioli, chrysanths. Though I would also grow filler flowers, greenery, large leaf plants etc, a cheap bunch of flowers from the supermarket can be made into a fabulous arrangement or bouquet with some extras.... hypericum, eunonymous, fatsia japonica,

      Sweet-peas up a screen at the back, then gladiolas {to cut for vases) with nasturtium & viola in the foreground (to cut & add colour to your salads)

        I may put a little trellis in to the ground along the edge to act as a screen for a bit of support then. Thank you!

          Kings do several flower seed mixtures. Last year i sowed a packet of thier Patio mix directly in the troughs for my decking (Started in the cold greenhouse and moved to the decking later). They were a riot of various plants and colour right through summer and autumn. I am doing the same this years but have also bought a packet of thier tall cut flower seeds for the beds next to a fence.
          You could also sow wild flower seeds.

              Hydrangeas are huge, will you have room for anything else?
