Tulipa 'Flaming Flag' (triumph tulip bulbs)

Tulipa ‘Flaming Flag’ (triumph tulip bulbs) £4.99
Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: April Flower colour: white and purple-pink Other features: excellent cut-flowers Hardiness: fully hardy Bulb size: The exact colour of these stunning tulips will vary as the white and purplish-pink streaks that run through each petal can vary in intensity. Some can be distinctly two-tone, like dollops of plum jam folded through whipped cream, while others will have a more muted colouring. An interesting (and rare) tulip that copes with bad weather and lasts well after being cut. Garden care: From September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.

Narcissus 'W.P. Milner' (dwarf trumpet daffodil bulbs)

Narcissus ‘W.P. Milner’ (dwarf trumpet daffodil bulbs) £4.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: March Flower colour: pale creamy yellow with a whitish trumpet Other features: excellent cut-flowers Hardiness: fully hardy Bulb size: 9/10 The pale lemon coloured flowers of this cultivar fade to creamy white almost as soon as they open, so really stand out on darker spring days. This time-honoured daffodil has been around since Victorian times, when it was valued for its slightly twisted petals and nodding flowerheads, which create an unstructured looking flower. This also makes it perfect for wilder style gardens and open woodland wher it can be left to form large clumps. Garden care: Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10cm apart in autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, dead-head the flowers, but do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering as this will interfere with the bulbs ability to store energy for the following year’s flowers.
