The quintessential "Lady Tulip," 'Lady Jane' is renowned for her exceptional grace and elegance. She is a cultivar of Tulipa clusiana, featuring the same slender, refined form. The flowers are held on tall, willowy stems that allow them to sway beautifully in the breeze. When the buds are closed, they form slim, candle-like spindles that are a rich rose-red on the outside. When the sun shines, the flowers open into beautiful, broad stars, revealing pristine, snow-white inner petals and a small, dark purple base. This dramatic day-and-night transformation is captivating. 'Lady Jane' is a superb perennialiser, reliably returning year after year and spreading gently to form enchanting drifts. She is perfect for adding a touch of classic, effortless style to sunny borders, cottage gardens, and meadow plantings.
The absolute definition of vintage charm and sophistication, 'La Belle Epoque' is a truly unique tulip, beloved by discerning gardeners and floral designers alike.

The large, cup-shaped double blooms are a dusky blend of antique rose, warm apricot, soft coffee, and hazy gold, with a beautiful silky, almost metallic sheen to the petals. It is the antithesis of a bright, primary-coloured tulip; instead, it offers a subtle, smoky, and incredibly refined beauty. This complex colouring makes it an exceptional partner for plants with dark, bronze, or purple foliage, such as Heuchera, and it looks breathtaking when paired with deep plum or maroon tulips. 'La Belle Epoque' is a flower that rewards close inspection, making it ideal for planting in containers or near pathways and seating areas. It is an unforgettable variety that brings a sense of history and artistry to the garden.

A truly flamboyant showstopper, Tulip 'Brisbane' is an opulent double fringed variety that erupts into a breathtaking fiery sunset of colour, demanding attention in the mid to late-spring garden.

'Angelique' brings a gentle, classic elegance to the late spring garden that pairs beautifully with almost any other plant.
A fascinating and quirky heirloom, 'Rip van Winkle' is a miniature Double daffodil that has been charming gardeners since the 19th century. This unique variety looks unlike any other daffodil, producing a spiky, star-like flower that is often compared to a dandelion or a thistle. The blooms are composed of multiple layers of narrow, pointed, pale greenish-yellow petals, creating a wonderfully wild and untamed appearance. Its short stature and very early bloom time make it a delightful character for the front of the border or a rock garden. 'Rip van Winkle' is perfect for those who appreciate the unusual and want to add a touch of historic, eccentric charm to their spring display.
A truly delightful and deservedly popular Jonquilla daffodil, 'Pipit' is celebrated for its delicate beauty, sweet fragrance, and unusual colour change. Each stem produces between two and four dainty flowers. The blooms open with both the outer petals and the central cup in a lovely soft, lemon-yellow.

It is a more compact variety with a delicate appearance and a light, sweet fragrance. 'Pink Sunrise' is a fantastic choice for gardeners looking for something different from the traditional blue, perfect for creating soft, romantic, pastel-themed displays in pots, rockeries, and at the front of borders.

A highly sought-after and fashionable variety, 'Grape Ice' is a striking twist on the classic grape hyacinth. It features densely packed, conical flower spikes with a unique bicolour pattern that commands attention. The base of the flower head consists of rich, deep violet-purple florets, each shaped like a tiny bead, creating a familiar grape-like cluster. What sets it apart is the distinct cap of sterile, icy-white to pale silvery-green florets at the very top, which creates a stunning contrast, much like a snow-capped mountain peak. This ornamental 'mohawk' gives the plant a sharp, contemporary look. It is a vigorous grower and naturalizer, perfect for creating beautiful drifts of colour in borders, rock gardens, and especially in containers where its unique details can be appreciated up close. Its relatively short stature makes it an ideal companion for early daffodils and tulips, weaving a carpet of cool-toned colour at their feet. It's a must-have for any gardener looking for something a little different.
An exceptionally delicate and ethereal Grape Hyacinth, 'Valerie Finnis' is prized for its very pale colouring. The conical flower spikes are a beautiful shade of icy, sky-blue, so pale that they appear almost white from a distance, with the tiny bells at the top of the spike often being pure white. This creates a subtle, two-tone effect that is wonderfully soft and gentle. It has a light fragrance and is perfect for creating a serene, cool-toned spring display. It contrasts beautifully with darker blue Muscari or brightly coloured tulips and daffodils. It's an excellent choice for naturalising, forming a shimmering, low-growing carpet of colour in mid-spring.

A majestic and world-famous heirloom, 'Mount Hood' is a classic Trumpet daffodil renowned for its large, stately blooms and wonderful colour transformation. When the flowers first open, the entire bloom, including the magnificent, flared trumpet, is a soft, creamy lemon-yellow.

A truly stunning tricolour masterpiece, Muscari armeniacum 'Nature's Beauty' showcases a breathtakingly beautiful gradient of colour within every single flower spike, creating a sophisticated, multi-toned effect from just one bulb. Each bloom begins with a rich, deep cobalt blue at its base, which seamlessly transitions into a paler, sky-blue shade in the middle, and finally culminates in a fluffy, pure white cap. This remarkable medley of shades gives the impression of a meticulously curated designer mix, providing incredible depth and visual interest. It is a robust and fragrant variety that is perfect for creating a dramatic and elegant statement in borders, containers, or window boxes. The complex colouring pairs exquisitely with both pure white daffodils and deep purple tulips, allowing it to bridge different colour palettes with ease. Its strong stems and long-lasting nature also make it a superb cut flower for delicate spring arrangements, bringing its unique beauty indoors. It is a real showstopper.
This is a very distinct and elegant species of Grape Hyacinth that has received the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its unique beauty and reliable performance. Unlike other Muscari that produce multiple grass-like leaves, Muscari latifolium typically produces only a single, broad, grey-green leaf that wraps around the base of the flower stem, almost like a tulip leaf. From the centre, a stem rises carrying a striking, two-tone flower spike. The lower, fertile florets are a deep blackish-violet and are topped by a contrasting tuft of sterile, much paler, sky-blue florets. This elegant bicolour effect is more subtle and refined than that of 'Grape Ice' and gives the plant a sophisticated presence in the garden. It is less likely to spread as aggressively as M. armeniacum, making it a well-behaved choice for tidy borders, rock gardens, and containers where its unique form can be showcased. It provides a longer flowering period than many other types.
An iconic and utterly reliable white allium, 'Mount Everest' brings pure, classic elegance to the garden border. It forms large, 6-inch globes of clean, crisp white flowers on strong stems that reach a stately 3-4 feet. The flowers have a beautiful, dense structure that holds up well in spring weather and lasts for weeks. 'Mount Everest' is incredibly versatile; it looks stunning planted in formal blocks, woven through a cottage garden planting, or used as a cool, calming counterpoint to brighter colours. As the flowers fade, the seed heads turn a lovely shade of tan and provide excellent winter interest.
