Talk:Cutting garden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cutting gardens need not be unsightly or relegated to large estates. It is possible, with good planning to have a cutting garden that is attractive. The key is to arrange plants so that when one flower is cut, something else fills in. Consideration should also be given to insuring that there are specimens throught as much of the year as the climate allows. Good flowers for a cutting garden include roses, lilacs, tulips, delphiniums, daisies, baby's breath, peonies, zinnias, grasses, pussy willows, gomphrena, bells of Ireland, Russian sage, lavender, daffodils, lilies, gladiolas, sunflowers, strawflowers, asters, chrysanthemums, coleus, pansies and dahlias. These are just a few possibilities. Any plant that has good flowers, form or foliage and does well when cut should be considered. --Dbanke 01:51, 15 April 2006 (UTC)Deborah Banke
