Cut flowers

Lorraine74

I've been experimenting with a cutting garden for a few years and would now like to try and grow some Lisianthus (Eustoma) as they have a long vase life, however it seems very difficult to get seeds - is this because they are difficult to grow in our climate? Also can anyone recommend a good long stemmed rose to grow for cutting - don't mind the colour.

Chiltern seeds have seeds of Lisianthus, but it is listed by the new name of Eustoma grandiflorum.

Nicky’s Nursery also has Lisianthus seed sold in pellets. They have a few different colours.
