A true garden classic, 'Thalia' is an heirloom Triandrus daffodil that has been beloved since its introduction in 1916. It is cherished for its exceptional elegance and grace. Each stem produces two to four nodding, star-shaped flowers of the purest, snow-white. The petals are beautifully reflexed (swept-back) and have a gentle twist, earning it the nickname "Orchid Narcissus." The flowers possess a wonderful, sweet fragrance. 'Thalia' is an outstandingly reliable perennial that will naturalise with ease, forming ethereal, shimmering drifts of white under trees or in borders. It holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its timeless beauty and superb garden performance.

A flower of exquisite beauty and elegance, 'Obdam' is a world-class Double daffodil, celebrated for its huge, gardenia-like blooms. The flowers are incredibly full, packed with multiple layers of broad, silky, ivory-white petals that create a perfect, sculptural rosette. As the flower matures, a cluster of shorter, creamy-yellow petaloids can sometimes be seen in the very heart of the bloom, adding a touch of depth. The fragrance is sweet and delightful, though not overpowering. 'Obdam' is a very late-flowering variety, extending the daffodil season with its opulent, long-lasting display.

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.

A true icon of early spring, 'Jetfire' is a small but mighty Cyclamineus daffodil with an electrifying colour combination. This RHS Award-winning variety is instantly recognisable by its bright golden-yellow petals, which are sharply swept back from the cup in the classic, windswept Cyclamineus style. Providing a stunning contrast is the slender, trumpet-like cup, which is a brilliant, fiery reddish-orange. The effect is dynamic, exciting, and full of energy. 'Jetfire' is one of the earliest daffodils to bloom, creating a welcome blast of hot colour when the garden is just waking up. It is an incredibly robust and reliable perennial that will naturalise with ease, forming larger, more impressive clumps year after year.

A rare and exceptionally beautiful species, Allium tripedale is a treasure for the discerning gardener.

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.

Named for the god of love, 'Eros' is a captivatingly romantic allium. It produces delicate, airy umbels of pale lilac-pink, star-shaped flowers that seem to float on slender stems.

A truly fragrant and fiery beauty, 'Orange Princess' rightfully holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding performance and stunning appearance. Its magnificent double blooms are a stunning tapestry of bright clementine-orange, elegantly flushed and feathered with strokes of deep red and rich maroon. The colour combination is electric, glowing like a hot coal in the spring sunshine. It's a wonderfully fragrant and sturdy variety, with its shorter stature making it perfect for containers, window boxes, or the front of the border where it will not be overwhelmed by taller plants. It's a reliable and perennial performer, bringing a touch of royal splendour to the garden year after year. The combination of its rich scent, vibrant colour, and robust nature makes it a firm favourite among gardeners.

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.

Their sheer size and architectural stature make them an unmissable focal point in the back of the border, standing tall and proud like sentinels in the garden. The substantial globes retain their shape long after the colour fades, providing striking structural interest that carries the garden's form well into autumn, looking magnificent when touched by frost.
