What's available from Artisan flower farms in the UK in August

August is the month that Half Hardy annuals provide bulk and colour, and the Dahlias take over as the focal flower.

August is a month for colour and plenty on the flower field. Even new fields with limited foliage and perennials will have plenty at this time of the year. This video was from here at Plantpassion in Surrey in 2017

This photo is today, beginning of August 7 years after the video was made. So we have far more perennials, like Solidago, Phlox, Eryngium and Echinops. Plus shrubs like Hypericum and Physocarpus.

Multiple stems of Zinnia, Monarda, Cosmos and Amaranthus give different shapes and textures.

August is also the time to be drying flowers for late Autumn and winter sales. The Strawflowers, are great at keeping their colours, and come in a wide range of shades of pink, peach, and red.
