Cutting garden - what flowers are you planting this year?

[pineapplesarentforpizza]

Last year was the first season I planted specifically for cutting (just as well really, as I ended up delivering lots of bunches to my mum, MIL and local friends who I couldn’t see much of in lockdown!)

I’ve realised that I really love growing cut flowers - having previously thought a garden full of low maintenance perennials and evergreen shrubs was more my style - so I planted a ton more in the autumn. So far I’ve planted:

Daffodil Salome
Various tulips which I don’t know the names of
Snapdragon Chantilly series
Ranunculus Elegance series
Gypsophelia
Various coneflowers
Already had three roses and a herbaceous peony planted

What have others planted for cutting? I’m looking for inspiration as I’m itching to plant more!!

I do really badly with packs of wildflower seeds, no matter where I put them they never seem to take off. This year I am going to sow a tray of wildflower plugs, then plant them out - fingers crossed.

My wildflower mixes don't always work but when they do they are spectacular!

Best results were when had just lifted a lawn to make a flower bed - so scattered a load of wildflower seeds. They looked fantastic from mid summer on to almost the first frosts.
I sowed very thickly and added extra cornflower seed because I love them.

and previously have had good success with cornflowers starting them off in trays then plugging gaps in pots with them.

I planted Cafe au lait dahlias last year and ranunculus which were lovely. Cosmos did well too. I really like the idea of a proper cutting garden bed. There was a lovely gardeners world episode on cutting gardens I saw on Iplayer. Worth looking out for.
