What flowers to plant in raised beds?

It's less common to see flowering plants being grown in raised beds but there is no good reason for this. A raised bed makes a wonderful cutting garden and is also a good way of growing plants requiring a different soil type to the rest of the garden, for example heathers, azaleas, and rhododendrons can be grown in a raised bed holding ericaceous compost. But the only real limits are your imagination and the size of your raised beds!

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."
