flowers for the house

[roadkill]

what flowers are nice to grow that can be cut and taken home to be put in a vase for the summer months??????

[Jeanied]

Without a doubt, roses, pinks and carnations!
Oh and sweet peas!

[grannymem]

There are so many aren't there?!
Although perhaps a little later, I enjoy kaffir lilies (Schizostylis coccinea) at the end of the summer, the hardy geraniums always add to home arranged cut flowers and cosmos seem to last well in arrangements.
My main aim is usually to find plenty of greenery and then a few flowers are usually all that is needed (always a bonus if they have a lovely scent like honey suckle or jasmine)

If anyone wants a few kaffir lily corms just PM me.

There are so many older threads on this exact same subject. Have a snuffle through them.
Here's one: Cut Flower Bed

Also, this book is highly recommended. Got a library near you?

Cosmos,ladies mantle,sweet peas are always good and the more you cut the sweet peas the more you get-simples!

Dahlias are good value for money too & you only need a few with some greenery.

I have leucanthemum too - lovely white daisies.
