10 British flowers that bloom in July

Everything grown in Britain is seasonal, which means they are here when they naturally should be. This gives us flowers that stay fresher, smell stronger and last longer, and ultimately, uses significantly less carbon footprint than imported flowers. Perhaps rather surprisingly, just 10 per cent of flowers sold in the UK are home-grown.

You can read more on the benefits of buying British-grown flowers here (from boosting the UK economy to encouraging wildlife and biodiversity), but in the meantime, bring some colourful blooms to your garden and into your living space (as cut flowers) with these top picks for July.
