Matt Naylor, Managing Director of Naylor Flowers Ltd, said in a statement: “I’ve been growing flowers now for over 30 years and the summer harvest is always a highlight!

“Our sunflowers have one of the longest seasons and so much work and skills goes in from the whole team to grow and harvest each stem to make sure it’s the perfect quality for M&S customers.

“It’s fantastic that customers are getting to see even more varieties this year and we’re incredibly proud to be bringing that touch of joy into people’s homes across the UK.”

“From fiery reds to magnolias and rich golds, these flowers instantly uplift any space. It’s brilliant to have such longstanding relationships with our growers like the Naylor family, who share our relentless focus on quality and that passion for the perfect summer bouquet!”
