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.
