Ranunculus asiaticus ‘Elegance Noir’ brings exceptional depth to the spring garden, with large, densely layered flowers in velvety dark burgundy-purple. The near-black tones soften to wine and plum as the light catches the petals, creating a dramatic but beautifully refined colour for pots, borders, and cutting.

Part of the Elegance Series, it is valued for full flowers and strong, longer stems. Plant in a warm, sheltered position and cut regularly for luxurious spring bouquets, or group the corms in containers and border drifts for a rich, tonal display.

• Colour: Deep burgundy-purple
• Flower form: Large, double flowers
• Height: 30–40cm
• Spread: 15–25cm
• Position: Full sun to partial sun; sheltered

Muscari 'Pink Sunrise' is a distinctive pink grape hyacinth with dense spring spires of small, urn-shaped blooms. Each spike opens soft blush pink and becomes paler towards the tip, creating a delicate two-tone effect that pairs beautifully with white muscari, hellebores, primulas and pastel tulips.

Compact and clump-forming at around 15-20cm tall, this fully hardy bulb is particularly effective in pots, rockeries, border edges and beneath deciduous shrubs or roses. Plant in a generous group for the strongest display, in full sun or partial shade and soil that drains freely.

• Flowering: March-April
• Colour: soft blush pink with paler, almost white tips
• Height: 15-20cm
• Best for: pots, rockeries, border edges and underplanting
• Hardiness: fully hardy (RHS H6)

Crocus sativus is the saffron crocus: a quietly luxurious little autumn-flowering corm, bringing soft lilac, goblet-shaped blooms just as the garden begins to mellow. Look closely and you’ll find the signature crimson-red stigmas at the heart of each flower, picked out with warm golden tones—an exquisite detail at close quarters.

Neat, clump-forming and only 10cm tall, it is perfectly suited to pots by the door, gravel gardens, rockeries, and warm borders where drainage is assured. Give it sun and shelter, and it will settle in handsomely, returning as a fully hardy perennial and offering welcome late-season interest for pollinators.

• Autumn colour, refined scale—ideal for containers and front-of-border planting
• Best in sun with free-draining soil for crisp, healthy growth
• Distinctive floral detail—lilac petals with red and yellow accents

With deep green foliage and a neat, clump-forming habit, it settles into the garden with quiet assurance and becomes more impressive with each passing season. Plant in a sheltered spot with fertile, humus-rich soil and allow it the time it deserves—peonies are wonderfully long-lived once established.
