About the flowers
Sweet pea
The best-scented flower in the garden. Short-lived, so enjoy them in the first few days.

Sweet William
Dense heads of small, spicy-scented flowers. A cottage-garden favourite in early summer.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Snapdragon
Tall spikes that keep opening up the stem. Snapdragons bend towards light, like tulips.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Rose
The classic cut flower. Recut stems at an angle and keep them in fresh water out of direct sun.
