The Slowflower-movement represents the sustainable, regional and seasonal cultivation of flowers for bouquets. In our opinion: The best slow flowers are flowers harvested in your own garden! Even in a small space you can achieve wonderful results for beautiful bouquets.
For a perfect bunch of flowers it’s ideal to not only have big and impressive blooms but also accompanying flowers and filling. We have considered all of this in the composition of our themed gardens.
Sunflower 'Hella'
A lot of small sunflowers
Lasts well in a vase
Cut diagonally when the first petals unfold
Cosmos
A beautiful mixture of pink and white flowers
Grows in any soil that isn’t too strongly fertilised
We recommend cutting them when the buds are showing colour but haven’t opened yet
Zinnia 'Sommer in Orange'
Wonderful, warm summer colours
Will flower until the first night time frost
Cut when they are fully flowering in order for them to last as long as possible in the vase
Snapdragon
Beautiful mix of colours
Up to 60 cm tall
Will flower earlier if started in a greenhouse
Love-in-a-Mist
The elegant flowers and decorative seed capsules can both be used for bouquets
Cut the flowers when they are in full flower, the seed capsules can be used fresh or dried
Larkspur
The flowers stay nice and colourful when dried and are ideal for dried flower arrangements
Can also be sown in autumn
Cut when about a third of the flowers on a spike are opened
Cinnamon basil
Very decorative plant with small, violet flowers
Beautiful smell
Can be used as fillers for flower arranging with or without flowers
Switchgrass 'Fontaine'
Decorative grass adds something special to any bouquet
The flower fronds look a little like small fountains
They can be harvested at almost every stage
