Spring Bulbs in Stock

Our first batch of Spring bulbs have just arrived! Despite the fact we hardly seem to have had a summer, these are all ready for planting now to give a wonderful display next spring.

You can plant directly into the garden, or many of them look great in containers too, especially when combined with bedding plants such as pansies and violas. I had a lovely display of Tulip Red Riding Hood, with blue Myosotis in my tubs last spring which looked really good, so will probably do again this season. Don’t forget to plant up with specialist bulb compost for best results.

The range includes Tulips, Crocus, Alliums and Narcissus, with more varieties still to come.

We also have some particularly interesting spring bulbs:
Eranthis ciliata (Winter Aconite) That joyful little yellow flower that blooms with the snowdrops
Allium Ambassador – a giant headed variety
Colchicums (Autumn Crocus) – an Autumn flowering bulb with large crocus shaped flowers
Erythronium dens-canis (Dog Toothed Violet) a British native with pretty mauve/ purple flowers
Puschkinia scilliodes libanotica – that’s the fabulous carpeting bulb we have up near the tearoom which is always much admired.

We also have indoor (prepared) hyacinths ready at 99p each, which can be planted up ready for an indoor winter display.
