Perfect for pots

Allium 'Purple Sensation' is certainly sensational in its popularity among gardeners as well as its absolutely striking good looks, and you’ll be thrilled to have it. At the end of a fairly short stalk, 100 or more lavender purple stars shoot out in a circle of superb symmetry and seemingly painted-on colour. Any great artist would be proud to have designed these flowers, and a cluster is a breath-taking sight. Plant several Allium 'Purple Sensation' bulbs (commonly known as Dutch garlic) close together and see for yourself why this is one of the trendiest plant species to have in your garden. They also smell divine and butterflies flock to them. Just fabulous!

The long-lasting, sweetly scented blooms of Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation' last well in the vase, and even the spent flowers look striking with their structured flower stems precisely arranged in their spherical pattern. All in all, it’s a gorgeous plant, with a sculptural yet airy appearance, and it’s pleasant to see it finally winning gardener’s hearts as it deserves.

Living up to its name in every way, 'Graceful Beauty' offers a soft, romantic touch. The delicate 3-inch flower heads are a gentle combination of pure white florets with subtle lavender-pink centres, creating a soft, shimmering effect. Unlike the bold giants, this variety has a more refined and understated elegance, making it perfect for cottage gardens and romantic planting schemes. It blooms generously, often producing several stems per bulb, and its sweet scent is an added delight. Plant it where you can appreciate its subtle charm up close, perhaps alongside pale pink roses or silvery foliage plants.

An outstanding and aptly named variety, 'Ruby Giant' is a cultivar of Crocus tommasinianus and is celebrated for its larger-than-average flowers and rich, vibrant colouring. The blooms are a stunning shade of deep, iridescent reddish-purple or amethyst, which seems to glow in the low spring sunlight. The flowers open wide on sunny days to reveal a bright orange stigma at their heart. 'Ruby Giant' is one of the earliest crocuses to flower, often pushing through snow to provide a welcome splash of intense colour. It is exceptionally vigorous and an excellent naturaliser, quickly multiplying to form substantial, beautiful drifts. It is more resistant to squirrel damage than many other crocus types, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. Its slender, grass-like foliage appears with the flowers, creating a neat and attractive clump.

Arguably the world's most popular miniature daffodil, 'Tête-à-Tête' is a small but mighty harbinger of spring. Each bulb produces multiple stems, each carrying one to three perfectly formed, bright, sunshine-yellow flowers. The blooms have slightly swept-back petals and a neat, trumpet-shaped cup. Its short stature makes it incredibly robust and weather-resistant, perfect for even the most exposed gardens. It is an exceptionally reliable perennialiser, quickly forming dense, cheerful clumps that multiply year after year. Winner of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, it is a versatile and indispensable variety for bringing an early, welcome burst of colour to pots, rockeries, window boxes, and the very front of garden borders.

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.

When it comes to making a statement, 'Globemaster' is in a class of its own. This magnificent variety boasts some of the largest flower heads available—enormous, 8-10 inch globes packed with thousands of star-shaped, purple florets. What makes 'Globemaster' truly special is its incredibly long bloom time; as new florets open from the center, the flower head continues to expand, maintaining its perfect spherical shape for weeks on end. It’s a living sculpture for your garden, providing a powerful focal point that commands attention and inspires awe. Even after the colour fades, the dried seed heads provide architectural interest well into the winter.

Make way for a stellar performance. 'Red Giant Star' is a magnificent hybrid that commands attention with its massive flower heads and unique colouration. It features the huge, starry florets of its christophii parentage but infuses them with a rich, reddish-pink hue, centered with a deeper red eye. The individual flowers are enormous, creating a lacy, open globe that can span over 8 inches wide. It blooms on strong, relatively short stems, making it a robust and wind-resistant choice for a high-impact position in the mid-border. The combination of its impressive size, intricate floral detail, and warm, radiant colour makes it a living sculpture in the garden, a true showstopper that draws the eye and sparks conversation.

It has a low, trailing habit and a remarkable ability to self-seed and thrive in the tiniest cracks and crevices, softening hard edges and creating a beautiful, cottage-garden feel. It is incredibly tough, drought-tolerant, and beloved by bees and butterflies.

A true garden royal and an RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, 'Prinses Irene' is a hugely popular Triumph tulip for very good reason.

A jewel of the late spring garden, 'Silver Spring' is a masterpiece of subtle detail.

An exquisite botanical crocus, 'Blue Pearl' is cherished for its delicate beauty and luminous, pearlescent colouring. The flowers are not a strong blue, but rather a magical, soft, silvery sky-blue on the outer petals, which are often shaded with a deeper blue at the base. As the flower opens, it reveals a contrasting creamy-white to soft-yellow interior, with a base that glows a distinct bronzy-yellow. This complex and subtle combination of colours gives the bloom an iridescent quality, especially when it catches the low morning or evening light, making it shimmer like a precious pearl. It is an RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, a testament to its beauty and reliability.

Arguably one of the most famous and spectacular novelty tulips ever bred, 'Ice Cream' is a true showstopper that never fails to turn heads and start conversations. Its unique structure is a marvel of nature. The flower begins with a sturdy base of raspberry-pink outer petals, often streaked with green, which form a protective 'cone' around the central bloom. Then, as it matures, the magic happens: a dense, tightly packed mound of the purest white inner petals begins to emerge from the top, looking for all the world like a perfect scoop of vanilla ice cream sitting in a cup. The contrast between the colourful base and the pristine white centre is breathtaking. This is not a tulip for the impatient gardener; it requires warmth and sunshine to encourage the 'scoop' to fully emerge and unfurl, but the reward is more than worth the wait. It is the ultimate feature plant for a pot or a prime position at the front of a border where its extraordinary form can be fully appreciated.
