Saffron Crocus Pack of 35 Bulbs - Flower Bulbs
Saffron Crocus Pack of 35 Bulbs – Flower Bulbs £9.95
Grow your own saffron – the most expensive spice in the world! – The Saffron Crocus is, as the name suggests, the plant from which we collect saffron, that most rare and expensive of spices, on a par in the culinary world with the likes of caviar or truffles. Saffron is an incredible way to perfume your dishes, one gram is enough to spice more than ten plates. It has a slightly sweet but earthy taste which can be used to flavour salty or sweet recipes. It is perfect for adding to basmati rice for that authentic Indian curry!Beautifully scented autumn blooms – You may be surprised to learn that it’s actually very easy to grow – you certainly don’t need to have green fingers! Just plant the bulbs in a sunny spot in your garden before the end of August and unlike their more well-known spring-blooming cousins, they’ll be putting on a display of beautiful and deliciously scented blooms in just 4-6 weeks! You don’t need a lot of space to grow them; they will thrive in a well drained border, but can easily be grown in a container on the patio. Plus originating from the foot of mountain ranges, they’re super-hardy (tolerant of summer heat and winter cold) and they’ll multiply rapidly from year to year.Harvest your own “red gold” – Give them a try and you too can look forward to the magical experience of picking your very own “red gold”. Look out for them each morning, dangling from the throats of the flowers: bright, alluring and full of promise. Once cut and dried, they can be stored in an airtight jar for several years. Order by end of June for delivery in August, and you’ll be picking your first crop in October!. Pack of 35 Bulbs. Full growing instructions included.. . . .

Pack of 3 x 1 litre bushy potted plants (1 of each variety) - Fruit Trees and Bushes
Pack of 3 x 1 litre bushy potted plants (1 of each variety) – Fruit Trees and Bushes £16.95
Do you love the taste of blueberries? How about having your very own crop of blueberries – 3 different varieties, Earliblue, Bluecrop and Elliot – for a long and regular harvest.

This is why we are pleased to present this exceptional collection – early, mid-season and late varieties for only £16.95 – that’s less than half price! Collection contains 3 plants (1 of each variety): Earliblue – very early variety with clusters of large, light blue fruit. Ripens early July; Bluecrop – excellent mid-season variety producing large, sweet fruit from end of July. Forms a medium sized spreading bush.

Growing Tuberose

Tuberose

Tuberose

Tuberose at Suttons it’s Price: £7.95 Code for 3 tubers or at Thompson & Morgan Tuberose it is 5 bulbs for £8.99, 10 bulbs for £10.99 or 20 bulbs for £16.99

The tuberose is not a plant for lazy gardeners. Each tuber only flowers once, it will produce new tubers, but these have to be stored in a frost free place. So if you live in an area that expects its sharp frosts in winter then you must pick them up and store them somewhere. They then need to be replanted in the spring.

Although there are very pretty flowers, this is too much work for someone as lazy as me. I am a fan of plants that you put in and forget about and they just keep coming a year upon year. However I do know a lot of people really like the tuberose as it’s very pretty and you can cut the stems and bring them in and a really lovely and have a great smell too.
The tuberose available at Suttons and Thompson and Morgan is called the Pearl. This is a really enchantingly pretty plant producing very tall flower stems topped with the most pretty pearly white double flowers. Florists loved this one, and the blooms being fragrant very attractive. It will grow between 60 and 90 cm tall. It’s only available up until mid April so if you want to close this year, you really do need to order them now. You can’t come out a couple of inches deep and 8 inches apart but only after the danger of frost is passed. It will flower July and August.
