UK Grown Flowers and Plants
Here in the UK
we grow a great variety of cut flowers and indoor plants, and many of those you
buy will have been home grown. The main crops the UK grows are:
Flowering houseplants including African
violets, azaleas, begonias, kalanchoes, and potted bulbs. Daffodils,
narcissi and tulips The UK is the world's biggest grower of cut
flower daffodils: we even export daffodils to Holland! Early Narcissi are grown
in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, mid-season in Lincolnshire, and later in
the season in Scotland. Chrysanthemums
widely grown throughout the UK, but mainly along the South Coast, in many varieties.
Foliage a wide range grown of mostly hardy
hedgerow types but some exotic too - there is even a tea plantation in the UK.
Lisianthus a quite new flower but increasing
in popularity, there is an excellent grower in Suffolk. Alstroemeria
- again like lisianthus growing in popularity, several growers around the UK.
Seasonal summer flowers including asters,
delphiniums, peonies, sweet williams, stocks, solidaster and sunflowers. Grown
all around the UK but mainly in Lincolnshire and the South Coast. If
