Probably the best of the so-called 'Everlasting Flowers', these papery yet shiny, daisy-like flowers are of the very easiest cultivation. Eschscholzia californica, 'Thai Silk' Series, 'Apricot Chiffon'Īward-winning variety with luxury, single and double, creamy-yellow flowers with an intense coral-orange edging. Lovely long stems also make them excellent cut flowers. Very fast growing, flowering in as little as 6 weeks from sowing, they will quickly fill your flower beds with clouds of blooms. These award-winning baby Snapdragons are quite charming. Linaria maroccana, 'Licilia' Series, 'Licilia Peach' These vigorous plants bear cheerful, double, coral-rose blooms. Zinnia elegans, 'Dahlia-Flowered Coral Beauty' Penstemon barbatus, 'Twizzle Coral'īeautiful, dark peachy-pink coral bells, this is the understated colour in the 'Twizzle' range, but perhaps our favourite. These lovely, large and long-flowering blooms are vigorous and much less prone to flopping as poppies can be sometimes. It is a favourite among flower arrangers and is incredibly long-lasting in water.Ī poppy in a beautiful, vibrant coral pink.
