The "Giant Allium" is the species that started the craze for these incredible plants. Allium giganteum was one of the first giant ornamental onions to be introduced to European gardens from its native Central Asia.

A late-summer marvel, the Drumstick Allium is a master of transformation.

They are perfect for weaving through perennial borders, adding a pop of deep, jewel-toned colour and dynamic texture long after other flowers have faded. Their slender profile allows them to mingle effortlessly without overcrowding neighbors, making them an exceptional choice for naturalistic and prairie-style plantings, bringing your garden composition to a beautiful crescendo.
The quintessential large, golden-yellow daffodil, 'Dutch Master' is a world-famous Trumpet variety that has become a modern icon of spring.

A beautiful and enchanting mix of the native Snakeshead Fritillary. This collection combines the classic chequered purple and the elegant pure white forms (var. alba).

This is no ordinary crocus; Crocus sativus is the legendary Saffron Crocus, the source of the world's most expensive spice. Unlike its spring-flowering cousins, this variety blooms in the autumn, producing beautiful, lilac-purple flowers with darker purple veins. The true treasure, however, lies within. Each flower contains three long, vivid crimson-red stigmas, which are the saffron threads. These must be carefully hand-picked and dried to be used as a spice for flavouring and colouring food. The grass-like foliage appears before or with the flowers and remains through the winter. Growing your own saffron is a rewarding experience, connecting you to an ancient culinary tradition. While each bulb produces only a few threads, planting a generous drift can yield a precious and delicious harvest.
