Cut flowers in the tunnel ?

[sewer rat]

Hi fellow grapes
I might have some space in my tunnel this summer for growing some flowers for cutting - trouble is I fear I may have missed the boat this season. Have any of you any suggestions as to what flowers I could try - remembering that they will be sold and not for personal use.
Many thanks in anticipation

for next year:
sweet williams are good ones ... fast, easy and prolific. Smell nice, look lovely.

Annuals or perennials?
The list might be quite long...

Sweet peas - you can start them in winter, they would be cropping from May through to September with a bit of luck....

Annuals - just in case I end up having no room in the tunnel.

Pansies or wallflowers.

OK,the first ones I had in my head are:calendula,snapdragons and aster.I'm just going to have a look through the names and give you the ones not fussy with germination and quite long lasting as a cut flower.Sweet williams are excellent but they are biennial which means you get hardly any flowers in the 1st year.
Helichrysum and statice-good as cut flowers and for dry arrangements.Rudbeckia-some might be grown as perennials.Stock-great flower,great scent.
You'd be better with some perennials-once you plonk them into the ground-that's it.If you have any space outside the tunnel you could grow some pinks-lovely cottage flower,holds well in a vase,some varieties are beautifully scented and it's dead easy to grow them.

Chrysanths grown in pots from cuttings? Expensive to buy the first year but after that you have a never ending supply of cuttings to grow on. Some of the late flowered could be grown outside and brought into the polytunnel at the back end of the year to flower indoors when flowers are expensive to buy in the shops!

Pansies

no good for cutting though

Sow them in modules in autumn, plant out in March, they flower in June.
