Bulbs & tubersAnemone blanda
Grecian Windflower
Grecian Windflower is a charming, low-growing bulb that begins blooming as early as February with star-shaped flowers in blue, pink, or white. The fine, fern-like foliage forms low carpets that naturalise beautifully under trees and shrubs. One of the earliest spring bulbs to bring colour.
Bulbs & tubersCrocus vernus
Spring Crocus
The Spring Crocus is one of the very first flowers to open in February and March, in shades of purple, yellow, or white. The small chalice-shaped blooms often appear before the foliage has fully developed. Crocuses naturalise beautifully in lawns and are an early food source for bees after winter.
Bulbs & tubersEranthis hyemalis
Winter Aconite
Winter Aconite is a cheerful yellow spring flower that wakes the garden from its winter sleep alongside snowdrops. The butter-yellow cup-shaped blooms are surrounded by a green collar of leaves. The tubers naturalise happily and eventually form golden carpets beneath trees and shrubs.
Bulbs & tubersGalanthus nivalis
Snowdrop
The Snowdrop is one of the very first spring bloomers, often appearing while snow still lies on the ground. The graceful, bell-shaped white flowers hang from slender stems and herald the end of winter. The bulbs multiply rapidly and eventually form beautiful white carpets.
Bulbs & tubersMuscari armeniacum
Grape Hyacinth
Grape hyacinths are charming, small bulbs that produce dense clusters of cobalt-blue, bell-shaped flowers in March and April. They release a light, sweet fragrance and naturalise effortlessly, returning in ever-larger groups each year. Ideal for naturalising in lawns, under trees, or as edging along paths.
Bulbs & tubersNarcissus pseudonarcissus
Daffodil
The Daffodil is one of the earliest spring bloomers, with distinctive yellow or white flowers that release a fresh, sweet scent. Blooming in March and April, daffodils naturalise easily in lawns and under trees. The bulbs are toxic to rodents, so they remain untouched.
