If you fancy growing a few cut flowers for your home, why not give it a go? It's one of the most rewarding and "feel good" pastimes, believe me! With this in mind, I thought I would share with you my top five plants for cutting in May.
Tulips - The sheer variety of colours and forms makes them a dream for hand tied bouquets - easy to grow and easy to arrange, although they don't reliably bloom in following years. I find that the doubles last longer both in the garden and the vase.
Lunaria - (Honesty) Another great biennial, similar to hesperis, easy to grow in poor soil, it's available in purple and white. There is also a lovely one with variegated foliage.
Erysimum (Wallflowers) Finally, a biennial / short lived perennial available in many different colours, a beautiful scent and loved by bees!
Roll on May!!!
