You can only save money growing cut flowers if you normally spend lots of money buying cut flowers. If you do spend lots of money on cut flowers and you need to trim the budget, cut flowers are the first thing to cut out. Growing flowers for the house is a bonus not an economy measure.

Very true! I never buy flowers. Still feels good when I can have them in the house for next-to-nothing, though!

I grow quite a few flowers but only cut the chrysanths and sweet peas. I always grow too many so always have quite a few to give to my friends and neighbours on the site. I find these two flowers a challenge. So much beauty for the effort you put in.
