Spring Flowering Bulbs Page 2

Distinctive and unique in its appearance, the unequal length of the flower stalks of this variety give the impression of an exploding firework. The open structure of the flowers mean that they persist well in the border long after the colour has faded. Eventually, they can be harvested as dried flowers (some gardeners spray them silver or gold and use them as Christmas decorations). Only top-sized...

A great novelty, the small flowers have green spokes of purple florets. Much loved by flower arrangers.  Ht. 18" (45cm) - taller after the first year. Bulb size 5+ cm  Pack of 10 bulbs for £3.50 Pack of 30 bulbs for £9.00

The white flowers of this variety are quite unique, with each floret sporting a distinctive maroon 'eye'. This allium has been established in our borders for some years now and it is always the first of the alliums to show foliage (often in early winter) although the flowering time is early summer. The seedheads  (sterile) are attractive left to stand in the border after flowering. Just give...

New in 2025 This gorgeous new introduction is a cross between a. atropurpureum & a. 'Silver Spring'. The flowers clearly show their parentage with dusky pink blooms,  each floret having a near-black centre. Like ''Silver Spring', as the flowers fade they remain attractive with sterile green seedpods. Flowering in early summer at around 20" (50cm). Bulb size 12+ cm   Pack of 5 bulbs...

This allium has to be seen to be believed! It begins producing its foliage very early in the year, shooting ever upwards until it is well over 6' (180cm) tall and topped by tight buds with elongated tips. These hold for months before gradually expanding and splitting open, to reveal large globes which sport a mixture of purple and white florets - uniquely different! Height to 8' (240cm). Bulb size...

We first grew this stunning allium back in 2006, when it was a new introduction and not widely available. We were impressed with it then and with its subsequent flowering over the years. More recently, it was part of the Wisley allium trial, impressing the judges sufficiently to gain an RHS Award of Garden Merit. The flowers are deep violet and of great size (6"/15cm or more in diameter) and in good...

The choice in white allums is far more restricted than for purple flowered varieties, so a new variety is always worth a look. And 'White Cloud'  (now often marketed as 'Ping Pong"!) is distinctly different from longer-established whites, with its very tightly packed flowerheads and later flowering time. The attractive, pointed flower buds open with a pink tinge before turning ivory white. Flowering...

 A close relation of the autumn flowering colchicums, these spring flowering corms are less well known but are hardy and easily grown in soil which is well-drained but moisture retentive. In these conditions, they can be grown in sun or partial shade. The rosy-mauve flowers hug the ground, being borne on the shortest of stems, and the leaves appear later, elongating as the flowers go over. Height...
