Spring Bulbs & Plants

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.

Named after the famous snow-capped peak, Muscari 'Mount Hood' is a truly delightful two-tone variety that brings a crisp, alpine freshness to the spring garden. It is characterised by its dense, conical spikes of tubular florets that are a rich, striking blue at the base and middle, crowned with a contrasting bouquet of pristine white flowers at the very top. This "snowy peak" effect is incredibly eye-catching and creates a superb bicolour display from a single bulb. Despite its dainty appearance, 'Mount Hood' is deceptively robust, fully hardy, and an excellent naturaliser, multiplying year after year to form impressive, long-lasting drifts of colour. Its light fragrance is a welcome bonus, attracting bees on sunny spring days. This variety works particularly well when planted en masse in borders, rock gardens, and especially in containers where its unique colouring can be admired up close. It pairs beautifully with yellow daffodils or white tulips for a classic, high-contrast spring combination.

A beautiful and distinctive variety, 'Mountain Lady' is a bicolour Grape Hyacinth that creates a stunning two-tone effect. Each flower spike features a dense cluster of florets, with the lower bells a clear, sky-blue, while the top of the spike is capped with a contrasting tuft of sterile, pure white florets. This RHS Award-winning variety is a selection of Muscari aucheri and has a neat, compact habit. It is an excellent choice for adding a touch of sophisticated colour to rock gardens, pots, and the front of borders, and it naturalises well to form larger clumps over time.

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.

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.

Add a touch of sparkle to your spring garden with 'Bling Bling', a particularly vibrant and eye-catching Grape Hyacinth. This variety is noted for its large, substantial flower spikes and its incredibly intense, deep blue colour. The florets are a rich, royal-blue, and each one is packed tightly onto the stem, creating a very full and uniform appearance. The flowers have a beautiful satin sheen that catches the light, giving them the "bling" factor. 'Bling Bling' is a strong and vigorous grower with a long flowering period, making it a fantastic choice for creating a powerful and long-lasting river of deep, electric blue through borders, rockeries, and containers.

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.

This is the classic, original Grape Hyacinth, from which most modern cultivars are derived. It is beloved for its intense and vibrant colour. The dense, conical flower spikes are packed with small, urn-shaped flowers of a brilliant cobalt or gentian-blue, each tiny bell neatly edged with a fine white rim. It has a lovely grape-like fragrance and is incredibly robust and reliable. Muscari armeniacum is one of the best bulbs for naturalising, quickly forming large, spreading carpets of vivid blue that are a true sign of spring's arrival. It's a versatile, easy-to-grow bulb that is essential for any spring garden, perfect for borders, pots, and planting in lawns.

A truly spectacular succulent, 'Silver Fox' is a dazzling architectural plant that almost appears to be made of metal. It forms a stunning, low, symmetrical rosette of broad, fleshy leaves. The leaves are covered in a very thick layer of waxy powder (farina), which gives them an incredible, ghostly, silvery-white appearance that reflects the sunlight. This thick coating also helps protect the plant from intense sun and drought. The edges of the leaves are lined with tiny, soft, cinnamon-coloured teeth, and the sharp tip of each leaf is a matching colour. The overall effect is incredibly dramatic and modern, making 'Silver Fox' a breathtaking centrepiece for a container or a gravel garden, where it will contrast beautifully with darker plants and stones.

A truly unique and architectural succulent, 'Praying Hands' is a standout variety of Mangave (a hybrid between Manfreda and Agave). It forms a remarkable, tight, upright rosette of long, slender, concave leaves that curve inwards and upwards, creating a shape that strongly resembles a pair of praying hands. This form is completely different from the open rosettes of most other succulents. The leaves themselves are a beautiful deep olive-green, covered in a waxy coating that gives them a silvery-blue sheen, and are speckled with subtle, darker spots. The very tips of the leaves are tipped with a sharp, cinnamon-coloured spine. This is a stunning statement plant, perfect as a centrepiece in a container or a gravel garden.

The leaves are a stunning, smoky purple-grey, overlaid with a thick waxy coating that gives them a soft, lavender sheen. This waxy bloom helps to protect the plant from the sun and conserve water. The leaves are often subtly marked with faint darker purple spots, adding to their charm. The rosette form is refined and less spiky than many of its Agave relatives. It is a superb choice for a statement container plant or for a gravel garden in a mild climate, bringing a touch of modern, muted colour and form.

A truly unique and wonderfully quirky succulent, 'Bad Hair Day' is an architectural plant with a playful personality. It forms a dense, spidery rosette of extremely long, very narrow, apple-green leaves that arch and gracefully weep, creating the impression of a wild head of hair. The leaves are flexible and tipped with tiny, soft spines, making them much more user-friendly than their spiky Agave ancestors. The foliage is lightly speckled with faint red spots that become more prominent in direct sunlight. This is a fantastic specimen plant for a container, where its cascading, fountain-like habit can be fully appreciated. It brings texture, form, and a touch of fun to a sunny patio or a contemporary succulent collection.
