Jane Austen took a keen interest in the outdoor landscape and gardens to play a major role in her novels. This beautiful trio of flowers was typical for a Georgian cottage garden, and are all mentioned in Austen's letters.

Cornflower (Annual)

With its electric blue petals, it is an integral part of the British cottage garden.

Sweet William (Biennial)
Adds vibrant colour and graced the shrubbery border of the Austen garden at Chawton.

Mignonette (Annual)
Bears small, sweetly scented flowers. Austen wrote to sister Cassandra about its progress in the garden.
