November 22, 2008 by admin Leave a Comment

English Heritage require the help of all dianthus (Pinks) growers.

Heritage species are required in the restoration of the 16th Century Elizabethan Gardens at Kenilworth Castle.

Many of these species were introduced to the UK around this time and it is highly likely that there are many plants hiding in gardens all over the country.

Grow Your Own Cut Flowers

July 5, 2008 by admin Leave a Comment

Growing your own cut flowers can be quite inexpensive and does not have to take up too much time or space.

A couple of packets of sweet peas will provide arm fulls of blooms and can be grown against a sunny wall, fence or obelisk.
Cosmos are excellent value for money providing blooms from June through September and even October.  Ranging from white, many shades of pink and even yellows and oranges, there is one to suit every arrangement.  Their delicate feathery foliage form a feathery backdrop to other flowers in the garden and give softness to floral displays.
Garden Pinks are the wonderfully fragrant, more delicate version of the mass produced large carnation and can last up to two weeks in the vase.  Perennial versions which flower year after year are normally bought as young plants, but can be raised from seed.
Annual versions which flower for only one season are grown from seed.
There are literally hundreds of flowers to choose from, saving a small fortune in bought flowers and providing blooms that are not only diifferent and seasonal, but many of them have a magnificent perfume so often lacking in commercial imported blooms.
To find a fantastic variety of seeds and plants visit Marshalls Seeds.
