I am starting up a small cut flower growing enterprise in Somerset. Growing from seed and liners so far, are there any wholesale plug plant companies that supply cut flower annuals and suchlike? All I can find are supplies of bedding.
Also, where can I get alstroemerias at a sensible price?
If anybody can help Katherine with her request, please use the comments section at the bottom of this post to respond.

Why do the British not buy more British grown flowers?
Our reader would be grateful to those in the British flower growing and retailing industry for any information to allow her to complete her dissertation.
