Plant description

An exquisite and carefully curated collection of easy to grow plant seeds destined to become wonderful and voluminous auburn and pink-hued cut flower displays with an emphasis on contrasting forms.

What's included:

The collection contains one packet of seeds for each of the plants listed below. Each packet comes with its own specific sowing instructions.

  • Daucus carota ‘Dara': A purely decorative form that is grown for its airy umbels of pink and burgundy flowers, which create a haze of colour throughout the summer months. The feathery foliage of this hardy annual is attractive too. Grows to 90cm.

  • Consolida regalis ‘Qis Rose': A hardy annual with well-branched, ferny, palmate mid-green leaves and spikes of pale pink blooms that emerge white. It's an elegant and eye-catching addition to borders, offering masses of summer colour and providing long-lasting cut flowers. Grows to 1.2m.

  • Antirrhinum majus ‘Admiral Crimson': An elegant, early-flowering and easy to grow snapdragon that produces showy spires of fragrant, crimson flowers throughout summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting and look luminous when drifted through a sunny, well-drained border. Grows to 1.2m.

  • Matthiola incana ‘Column Apricot': Beautiful, blousy, and blooming in time from Valentines from an October sowing, the grey-green rosette of foliage gives rise to sweetly-scented and loosely branched double pinkish-apricot flowering spikes, ideal for the cut flower vase. Sown in early spring under glass, a fragrant bed of stocks in the garden can be had in as little as 90 days, and a succession of sowings will provide continuous flower and scent to summer borders well into autumn. Grows to 75cm.

  • Panicum capillare ‘Sparkling Fountain': Jewelled beads of dew will adorn this dainty, airy grass, which forms festoons of fibre optic-like panicles of pale green followed by decorative purple seed heads. ‘Sparkling Fountain’ dries brilliantly, too, making this 'witch grass' a great annual foliage plant for cut flower displays. Grows to 80cm.

  • Matthiola incana ‘Anytime Red': A delightful bedding plant boasting tightly packed, fully double blooms in a captivating shade of cherry red. These fragrant blossoms emit a sweet and spicy clove scent, perfuming the air on sturdy, single stems. While traditionally a cottage garden favourite, 'Anytime Red' offers versatility, making it equally stunning in a cut flower vase. Grows to 75cm.

  • Limonium sinuatum 'QIS Apricot': An easy to grow, ‘everlasting’ and ever-popular flowering annual forming a basal rosette of rich green foliage from which abundant sprays of apricot-pink, papery blooms emerge on wiry stems ripe for cut flower arrangements. Loved by pollinating insects, and incredibly long-lasting, a dried arrangement will hold its colour throughout the winter. Grows to 60cm.

How to care for Summer pudding cutting garden collection:

Seedlings should be potted up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals throughout summer with a high-potash fertiliser. Taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.
