Did you know that more people are choosing British-grown flowers over imported ones 😄

I've been growing this way from the start with no pesticides, no peat, no plastics and nothing flown in.

If you want a bunch of natural, seasonal and sustainable flowers, message me or have a browse on my Instagram Pippa's Flower Patch 🌸

There's something quietly luxurious about growing your own lace flower which is called Orlaya grandiflora.

It self-seeds with real generosity, but saving your own gives you control over where next year's flowers appear. At around 10p a seed to buy in, a full bed's worth soon adds up.

The trick is to harvest them before they turn black.

Wait until the seed heads have faded to a soft parchment brown papery, not black.

Snip whole heads into a paper bag; plastic traps moisture and spoils the seed.

Let them rest somewhere dry and airy for a week or two, then gently roll between your fingers to release the seed from its casing.

Sieve away the chaff, then store in a labelled envelope somewhere cool and dark.
