Where gardens grow
and giving blooms
and giving blooms
Such a fun plant - this is also known as obedient plant, you can push the flowers around on their stem and they will sit where you have put them. Perfect for cut flowers. And absolutely loved by bees.
A great plant choice for a cottage garden, flower beds or for the Flower Farmer for cut flowers. If using them as a cut flower, be sure to remove the foliage that would be underwater and cut at least 3cm off the bottom and use some flower food if you have it or a splash of bleach. Keep the flowers in a cool spot for a couple of hours before incorporating them into your floral work. They will also benefit from having their stems recut every couple of days and by doing this you can get up to two weeks out of them. Can be easily split once established.
