The perfect solution for gardeners wanting a vibrant, harmonious, and effortless spring display. This is a carefully curated blend of various Triumph tulips, the most important and diverse class of tulips, known for their classic cup shape, strong, weather-resistant stems, and reliable performance. This mix is designed to provide a wonderful medley of colours, encompassing a broad palette from bold reds and sunny yellows to soft pinks, rich purples, and pure whites, often including bicolours as well. Planting a pre-selected mix like this takes the guesswork out of creating a beautiful display. The varieties are chosen to flower at roughly the same time and grow to a similar height, resulting in a full, balanced, and professional-looking tapestry of colour. It's an ideal choice for filling large beds and borders with a cheerful, cottage-garden feel, providing a stunning visual impact with minimal planning required from the gardener.

A classic and intensely dramatic peony-flowered tulip, 'Uncle Tom' is a variety that commands attention. It boasts large, fully double blooms packed with layers of velvety petals in a deep, brooding crimson-red that is so dark and saturated it approaches true black in certain lights. Held on strong, relatively short but sturdy stems, it's a truly glamorous and sophisticated addition to any planting scheme, exuding a sense of opulent drama. Its rich, dark colouring gives it a dash of old Hollywood glamour, making it one of the most effective and popular varieties for achieving that coveted near-'black' flower effect in the garden. It is simply stunning when contrasted with pure whites, vibrant oranges, or sharp, acid-yellows. Its compact nature makes it ideal for containers, window boxes, and the front of the border where its sumptuous colour and form can be fully appreciated. It's a statement plant.

A beautiful and long-flowering perennial, 'First Love' is a superb variety of Speedwell that brings months of intense colour to the garden. It forms a neat, compact clump of healthy green foliage from which arise numerous upright, slender spires of densely packed, star-shaped flowers. The colour is a brilliant and eye-catching shade of vivid, clear pink, providing a strong vertical accent in the border. A fantastic feature of this plant is its continuous blooming; if deadheaded regularly, it will produce wave after wave of its vibrant flower spikes from early summer right through to the autumn. It is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, and its tidy, well-behaved habit makes it an excellent choice for the front or middle of a sunny border, as well as for container planting.

A superb and richly coloured Yarrow, 'Red Velvet' is celebrated for its large, flat flowerheads and its fade-resistant, vibrant colour. It forms an upright clump of beautiful, aromatic, fern-like, grey-green foliage. From early summer, strong, branching stems rise above the foliage, topped with large, plate-like clusters (corymbs) of tiny, daisy-like flowers. The colour is a stunning, deep, velvety crimson-red with contrasting tiny yellow centres. Unlike some older red varieties, 'Red Velvet' holds its intense colour very well, even in strong sun. It is a fantastic plant for a sunny, dry border, providing long-lasting colour and a wonderful, flattened texture that contrasts beautifully with spires and cones. It is highly attractive to pollinators and makes an excellent, long-lasting cut or dried flower.

A delightful and easy-to-grow perennial, Achillea ptarmica 'The Pearl', also known as Sneezewort, offers a completely different look to common yarrows. It forms a spreading clump of lance-shaped, dark green leaves. From early summer right through to autumn, it produces a profusion of branching stems topped with loose sprays of charming, button-like, pure white, fully double flowers. The individual blooms look like perfect little pearls or pom-poms, creating a wonderfully frothy and delicate effect in the border. Unlike other Achilleas, this species prefers moister soils. It is a fantastic filler plant, weaving amongst other perennials, and is an outstanding cut flower, adding an airy, baby's-breath-like quality to bouquets. It is vigorous and will spread by rhizomes to form a good-sized patch.
