Ocimum basilicum

Not generally associated as being a cut flower but the lovely dark foliage of Dark Opal can add real depth to bouquets and installations with the added bonus of a lovely basil scent.

If you leave it to flower you will also be rewarded with lovely mauve flowers.

Centaurea imperialis

An easy to grow heirloom annual with large fluffy white flowers that have a long vase life with a subtle sweet scent.

As with all Centaurea's they prefer full sun and need really good drainage.  They also don't like their roots to be disturbed so direct sow or transplant from plugs.
