Anemone 'Lipsiensis Nemorosa' is a quietly distinguished woodland anemone, offering soft yellow-white, single blooms as spring begins to stir. Ideal for weaving through shaded borders and beneath deciduous trees, it settles into humus-rich ground and, in time, forms an elegant, low carpet of fresh green foliage and flowers.

Plant in autumn and allow it to establish at its own unhurried pace; the effect is particularly lovely when naturalised in drifts, or used to soften the edge of a woodland path. It is fully hardy and well-suited to pots and containers where light is dappled and the soil stays gently moist.

• Flowering: March–April
• Colour: pale yellow to yellow-white
• Habit: ground cover, perennial
• Best position: woodland edge; under deciduous trees and shrubs

Scilla siberica 'Alba' is the quietly sophisticated, white-flowered form of Siberian squill. Each bulb produces neat stems carrying nodding, bell-shaped blooms above slender green leaves—an exquisitely simple way to brighten the first weeks of spring.

Superb for naturalising, it threads effortlessly through lawns, settles happily beneath shrubs, and looks particularly poised in gravel and rock gardens. Plant in generous drifts for a calm, luminous effect that returns year after year.

• Refined white, bell-shaped flowers for early spring elegance
• Ideal for naturalising in grass and informal planting schemes
• Fully hardy and easy to grow
• Pollinator friendly spring forage

Crocus 'Aqua' is a refined, early-spring crocus in violet-purple with warm orange centres—just the thing for threading through lawns, gravel and the very front of the border when the garden is beginning to stir again.

Neat, goblet-shaped blooms sit above green foliage marked with a silvery stripe, forming tidy clumps that look particularly smart in pots by the door, scattered through a rockery, or allowed to naturalise beneath deciduous trees.

• Colour: Violet-purple with orange centers
• Best for: Naturalising in lawns, rockery & gravel gardens, pots & containers, and front-of-border detail
• Season: Plant in autumn for flowers from late winter into spring
• Growing level: Easy, fully hardy, and reliably perennial

A timeless and elegant classic, 'Perry's White' is one of the most famous and beloved of all Oriental Poppies. It produces huge, breathtakingly beautiful, bowl-shaped flowers in early summer. The enormous petals are like pure white, crumpled silk, creating a wonderfully delicate and romantic effect. At the base of these pristine white petals is a dramatic and contrasting deep purple-black blotch, which surrounds the central, architectural, velvety-black seed pod. The flowers are held on tall, strong, bristly stems above a substantial clump of coarse, silvery-green, hairy foliage. Like all Oriental Poppies, it will enter a period of dormancy after flowering, dying back in mid-summer before new leaves emerge in autumn. It is a true garden aristocrat, bringing grace and drama to the border.
