If you want to grow a cut flower patch in a small garden colour palette, or even a decent-sized window box, there is one key characteristic that every plant you select needs to share. They should be cut-and-come-again, you cut a handful of flowers — and within days they grow back.
It’s like an ever-filling cup, the more you pick, the more flowers form, right until the end of their season. Harvested correctly, just above a pair of leaves, within days an axillary bud will start to grow (in the angle between the stem and leaf) and that develops into another bloom.
