This year I'd like to grow flowers for cutting .. but have no clue

[Houseplanter]

I have a greenhouse so could start off seeds, and I have gaps I could fill in the garden but really don't know where to start

Does anyone have tips, or even better a book recommendation ?

I have no idea if it's any good, but Instagram has been advertising this to me all week! www.instagram.com/p/C1G_EsdI234/?igsh=MTU2ZHZwZGh6bmVwdA==

Hi I do this! I joined the floral project linked above for a bit last year, then left when it got too pricey, the support was good though. If you are on Facebook the floral project group is open to anyone & really supportive. This year I’m buying my own seeds & following along. I started march last year & had cut flowers until the frosts for me, my friends & family. I only have a small garden & grow in pots.

to give you an idea I’m starting sweet peas now, then in march onwards i’ll start cosmos, strawflowers, sunflowers, zinnias, nicotiana. Cosmos are really easy to grow from seed, the more you cut the flowers the more they grow.

there are also guides on YouTube & higgledy garden has a lovely shop with lots of guides too.

have fun, I utterly love it best thing I’ve ever done for my mental health.

Oh also have a look at floret flower farm, her book is beautiful

I've done this at my allotment. I really recommend Higgeldy seeds, above. They've really good and his growing guides are excellent but essentially, buy some seeds and plants them up in spring! It's really easy and so rewarding.

Ooh also, my top tip is don't forget foliage. It's v useful to have a foil to set off your lovely blooms. I use euphoria and dill to set off my bunches.

Look at Sarah Raven website for ideas, also gardener Claus Dalby on YouTube has the most beautiful garden l have ever seen. He also writes books.
I would recommend Dahlias as they are so easy to grow, pick and flower for months on end. I prefer the collerette ones as better for the bees, but they have an enormous variety. Cosmos also very easy to grow.

I did a course here www.cotswold-country-flowers.co.uk/growing-flowers-workshops, it was excellent

She also has a blog

I was going to say that - I don't usually have cut flowers but last week having pruned some eucalyptus and Ivy I made a green bouquet with some of it, and today seeing some pink roses reduced in the local Sainsbury's I couldn't resist - I'm rather delighted with the result, the glaucous eucalyptus sets them off beautifully.
