Single Tulip Collection £23.30
Superb Osteospermum Plant Collection Of all the spring-flowering bulbs it is probably the Tulips that are the most diverse providing a bewildering array of flowers of different shapes and sizes and in as wide a range of colours as any other species. Collection consists of 1 pack each of: Apricot Beauty Calgary Princess Irene Kingsblood Shirley
Novelty Tulip Collection £19.90
These eye-catching Tulips with their loosely packed petals flower quite late in May and bring a touch of sophisticated elegance to any border. They also make bold and striking displays in patio containers. Collection consists of 1 pack each of: Angelique Burgundy Estella Rijnveld Spring Green
Boctanical Tulip Collection £17.60
‘Botanical Tulips’ is the term generally used to describe selections and hybrids of the more important species and it’s the one we like to use too for fosteriana greigii kaufmanniana and praestans Tulips. fosteriana Tulips are perhaps the closest to standard tulips but flowers are more elongated; greigii Tulips are dwarf growing and have attractive striped leaves; kaufmanniana Tulips are also dwarf and have water-lily like flowers; and praestans Tulips are multi-headed. Collection consists of: Buddy Stresa Unicom
Tulip Lac Van Rijn £8.95
Whilst most Tulipa species don’t really do that well in a domestic garden where it is not easy to replicate the conditions they thrive on in the wild there are a few true species and some cultivated forms and hybrids that given the right growing conditions – well-drained soil in full sun – can be very rewarding subjects for the amateur to grow. An historic variety dating back to the height of ‘Tulipmania’ in 1620 and kept in cultivation by Hortus Bulborum in Limmen Holland. Very rare and very special. Flowers April.
Eremurus robustus £8.95
A really fantastic sight in the garden the gigantic tall spikes bearing up to 800 very pale-pink flowers. A true species that has to be seen to be believed.When planting the central bud should just be above the soil level cover with sand or grit to aid winter drainage and shelter from spring frost.
Tulip marjolettii £8.95
Whilst most Tulipa species don’t really do that well in a domestic garden where it is not easy to replicate the conditions they thrive on in the wild there are a few true species and some cultivated forms and hybrids that given the right growing conditions – well-drained soil in full sun – can be very rewarding subjects for the amateur to grow. A good species for naturalising and for patio pots and containers. Flowers become more red as they mature. Flowers April/May.
Trumpet Narcissus Collection £8.90
One flower per stem; corona (trumpet) as long as or longer than the perianth segments (petals). These are the classic traditional daffodils and deserve a place in every garden formal or informal big or small. Collection consists of 1 pack each of: Dutch Master Mount Hood Rijnveld’s Early Sensation
Iris unguicularis £8.75
Also known as I. stylosa. Fragrant flowers from October/November through to March/April.
Tulip Gernaraal de Wet – Single Early £8.75
These flowers are a beautiful shade of golden-orange Looks at its best when planted in combination with blue bulbs. Very fragrant.
Hippeastrum Red Lion £7.95
