Tulipa 'Catherina' (single late tulip)

Tulipa ‘Catherina’ (single late tulip) £5.99
Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May Hardiness: fully hardy Bulb size: 11/12 This tall and elegant tulip will add poise to the planting scheme. It’s a single late tulip, so has large flowers on sturdy stems that rise above the grey green foliage in May. Their flower colour is palest yellow (almost white with a buttery blush), so they are good for mixing with stronger yellows, or for contrast, rich purples and plums. My advice would be to plant more than you need as they are also excellent for cutting. 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.

Shallot Picasso (25 shallots for spring planting)

Shallot Picasso (25 shallots for spring planting) £3.9500
Picasso shallots are a true French longue shallot, known for their fabulous flavour and great culinary uses. Growing shallots from sets like this is much more reliable than attempting to grow from seed. Plant in Spring. Shallots require a well-prepared bed to achieve good growth. Thoroughly dig over the site with a fork, removing any weeds. Adding a general purpose fertiliser will improve yields. Mark out a row using a string line or cane. plant the shallots 3cm deep and 12cm apart along the marked row. Label the row with the variety name. Check the shallots every few days and re-plant any that have been disturbed by birds etc until growth starts. Keep the soil moist during the growing period. remove any weeds which otherwise will compete with the shallots for food and water. In late summer/early autumn, the leaves will begin to die down. This means they are about ready for harvest. Bend the leaves over and a few days later, ease the shallots out of the soil. A few days later again, lift them clear of the soil and leave on the surface to ripen. When dry, rub off loose skins and roots. Store in a cool dry, frost-free place in trays.
