Spring Bulbs & Plants

Hyacinth ‘Blue Jacket’ brings a bold splash of rich blue to the spring garden, with sturdy flower spikes packed tightly with starry florets. The blooms are a deep, cobalt blue with slightly paler centres, creating a lovely shimmer of colour that shows up beautifully on dull spring days. Flowering in early to mid spring, these compact hyacinths reach around 20–25cm, making them ideal for the front of borders, edging paths or tucking into small spaces where their intense colour can really shine.

The fragrance is one of the great joys of Hyacinth ‘Blue Jacket’ – a strong, classic hyacinth perfume that’s perfect for planting near doorways, along paths or in patio containers where you’ll pass close by. They are excellent in pots and window boxes, and also work well as indoor bulbs if potted up and brought into a cool, bright spot. The sturdy stems make them suitable for cutting too, so you can enjoy a few in small jugs or vases indoors. Left in well-drained soil, they will often reflower for several years, gradually naturalising into cheerful clumps of blue each spring.

Amaryllis ‘Apple Blossom’ brings soft, romantic colour indoors through the darkest months, with large, trumpet-shaped blooms in gentle shades of white brushed with blush pink. Each sturdy flower stem carries several impressive blooms, creating a striking focal point on a windowsill, side table or mantelpiece when little else is in flower.

Reaching around 45–60cm in height, this elegant amaryllis has an upright habit that makes it ideal for pots and containers indoors, where you can enjoy the flowers at eye level. It is perfect for adding a touch of spring-like freshness to winter rooms, and the long-lasting blooms are also excellent for cutting and displaying in a vase.

Plant the bulb in a snug pot and place it in a bright, warm spot indoors, such as a sunny windowsill or conservatory. With just a little care, Amaryllis ‘Apple Blossom’ will reward you with weeks of beautiful colour and a graceful display that feels wonderfully luxurious yet is surprisingly easy to achieve.

Amaryllis 'Mont Blanc' is a beautifully elegant variety, prized for its large, pure white blooms and striking indoor presence. Each sturdy stem carries multiple trumpet-shaped flowers, with broad, overlapping petals that open to a crisp, luminous white. The clean, simple colour makes it a versatile choice that suits both traditional and contemporary interiors, adding a calm, sophisticated focal point to a windowsill, side table or festive display.

This variety is ideal for brightening the darkest months of the year. Planted indoors in autumn or early winter, ‘Mont Blanc’ typically comes into flower from late December through to early spring, depending on planting time and room temperature. The tall, architectural stems and bold flowers make it an excellent feature in the living room, hallway or dining area, and it pairs beautifully with greenery, candles and simple glass or ceramic pots.

Amaryllis are easy to grow and rewarding, even for beginner gardeners. Give the bulb a snug-fitting pot, use a free-draining compost, and place it in a bright, warm spot indoors. Water sparingly at first, then more regularly once the foliage and flower stems begin to develop. After flowering, the bulb can be grown on as a foliage plant to build strength for future seasons, making ‘Mont Blanc’ not just a stunning seasonal display, but a long-term addition to your indoor plant collection.

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.

As one of the tallest and latest-blooming alliums, 'Summer Drummer' provides a spectacular grand finale to the season. Its sturdy, towering stems can reach impressive heights, each topped with a large, dense globe composed of countless tiny, star-shaped florets. The flowers are a beautiful mix of deep purple and crisp white, creating a frosted, shimmering effect from a distance that catches the late summer light. 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.

Welcome a flurry of early spring cheer with Puschkinia libanotica, the exquisite Russian Snowdrop or Striped Squill. These charming bulbs produce clusters of star-shaped, ice-white flowers, each petal delicately painted with a fine, porcelain-blue stripe. Holding the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure of their reliable performance. They are perfect for creating shimmering carpets of colour at the front of borders, in rockeries, or naturalised in lawns under deciduous trees. Plant them in generous drifts alongside early crocuses or winter aconites for a breathtaking spring awakening. Easy to grow and loved by early pollinators!

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.

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.

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.

A late-summer marvel, the Drumstick Allium is a master of transformation. It begins as a slender green bud, slowly developing its signature oval head that transitions from green to a rich burgundy-claret, starting from the top down. Planted in generous drifts, these tightly packed, egg-shaped blooms sway on wiry stems, creating a mesmerizing, rhythmic dance in the breeze. 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.

A vision of pure, bridal white, this allium brings delicate elegance and a fresh sparkle to the late spring garden. Often known as the Naples Garlic, 'Cowanii' is a select, more robust form that produces loose, airy umbels of pristine white, star-shaped flowers. Each floret features a subtle green eye, adding to its charm. Unlike the dense globes of other alliums, these blooms create a light, see-through effect, perfect for illuminating shady corners or weaving through bolder colours in a border. They are fantastic cut flowers, prized by florists for their long vase life and graceful appearance in bouquets. Plant them in generous sweeps to create a cloud of white that brightens the landscape and bridges the gap between spring bulbs and summer perennials.

Also known as Rosy Garlic, Allium roseum is a charming and carefree wildflower that brings a touch of the Mediterranean countryside to any garden. It produces loose, delicate clusters of pretty, bell-shaped, soft pink flowers on slender stems. Unlike the formal globes, these have a relaxed, informal habit that is perfect for naturalising in gravel gardens, sunny banks, or wilder parts of the garden. It multiplies readily, creating larger and more impressive drifts each year. It's a low-maintenance and subtle beauty that provides a gentle wash of colour and attracts pollinators in droves.

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.

The quintessential large, golden-yellow daffodil, 'Dutch Master' is a world-famous Trumpet variety that has become a modern icon of spring. It is celebrated for its huge, robust flowers, which feature broad, rich golden-yellow petals (perianth) and a magnificent, flared, and ruffled trumpet of the same pure, uniform colour. Standing tall and proud on exceptionally strong, weather-resistant stems, this variety is a reliable and vigorous performer, blooming with incredible impact in early to mid-spring. 'Dutch Master' is the go-to choice for creating bold, classic swathes of colour in borders, for naturalising in lawns, and for a long-lasting, traditional spring bouquet.
