There's nothing more beautiful than a country cottage garden – all of those gorgeous varieties that offer an untamed look that our pollinators adore too.
The best bit is that some varieties self-seed. 'Self-seeding cottage garden flowers are brilliant because they do half the work for you and help fill borders for free,' says Julian Palphramand, head of plants at British Garden Centres. 'Some will settle in happily and come back year after year, while others will gently move around the garden and surprise you in new spots.'
