Cosmos ‘Purity’ in a jam jar
My second favourite cut flower Cosmos ‘Purity’ (dahlia’s are no.1 of course!). I’ve just picked this bunch from my cutting border, perfect for the kitchen table. A graceful, country farmhouse look. They’re easy to grow from seed in early spring, I planted eight plants into my cutting border and I pick a bunch this size every other day. One for me, one for a friend and several for my honesty stall. The key is cut lovely long stems, never let a flower go to seed on the plant and you’ll have flowers to pick from June to the first frosts.
