    Apart from Carnation chabaud and sweet peas, I'm very unadventurous.
    I believe Mrs @shiney is a flower arranger.
    Seeds to sow this year - please inspire me!

    Ammi major? Premier seeds direct send a huge packet, and it's a useful filler.
    Also some antirrhinum are cut flower varieties with long spikes. I just grow the general ones, but they're easy.

    Zinnias, always thought about trying Ranunculus.

      Rudbeckias make nice cut flowers and they're rather late flowerers too, so they can be picked right into the autumn. I haven't grown them for years but this year I'm going to sow some in my raised bed in between the parsnips and peas :biggrin:
