A vibrant and joyful collection, our Mixed Colours Crocus selection is the perfect way to banish the winter blues and welcome the first signs of spring. This carefully curated blend brings together a wide array of colours, from rich purples and sunny yellows to pure whites and soft mauves, often with beautiful bi-colour and striped varieties included. Planting this mix creates a stunning, jewel-like carpet of colour that looks effortlessly beautiful and natural. Because the mix contains different types of crocus, you can enjoy an extended flowering period, with different colours popping up over several weeks.

They are a true herald of spring, providing vital early nectar for brave bees venturing out on sunny days.

Anemone coronaria 'St. Brigid Mixed' brings a lively mix of richly coloured blooms to borders and containers, opening with clean, papery petals around a dark eye that reads beautifully from a distance. These jewel-like blooms add instant sparkle to spring and early-summer displays, and look especially striking planted in drifts.

Growing from corms, this anemone forms a tidy clump of finely cut foliage with compact, upright stems. Once established it produces a steady succession of flowers that sit neatly above the leaves, making it ideal for edging, patio pots, and cutting. Expect reliable performance in cool, bright conditions.

Soak corms for a few hours before planting, then set them 5–7cm deep in well-drained soil in full sun or light partial shade. Choose a sheltered spot and enrich the ground with organic matter for best results, keeping the soil evenly moist while roots develop.

Water during dry spells and avoid waterlogging, particularly in heavy soils. A light feed as growth begins supports flowering, and removing spent blooms helps keep the display tidy. In colder areas, a winter mulch or container protection can improve return and longevity.

Perfect for cutting gardens and seasonal arrangements, anemones offer long-lasting stems when picked just as buds begin to open. They also provide early nectar for pollinators, bringing colour and wildlife value to smaller spaces as well as mixed borders.

Dahlia 'Rip City' brings dramatic deep red-maroon semi-cactus blooms to summer borders and cutting gardens, with bold flowerheads held on sturdy stems. Whether planted in drifts or dotted through mixed beds, the blooms add instant impact and keep coming through the warm months.

Once established, this clump-forming dahlia typically reaches 1.1 m, producing plenty of long stems for cutting. Regular picking and deadheading encourages a steady succession of flowers from midsummer into autumn.

Start tubers in a frost-free place in spring, or plant outside once the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil, and enrich the planting area with compost for best results.

Water during dry spells, especially while buds form, and feed every two to three weeks through the flowering period. Taller plants benefit from discreet staking, and removing faded blooms keeps the plant productive and tidy.

Perfect for borders, patio pots and cutting gardens, dahlias are also pollinator-friendly in single-flowered forms. Lift and store the tubers after the first frosts in colder areas to enjoy an even better display the following year.

Dahlia ‘Café au Lait Rose’ is a breathtaking dinnerplate variety that offers a vibrant twist on the classic favourite, featuring massive, ruffled blooms in luscious shades of deep pink and magenta. A sport of the world-famous original, it retains the same impressive size and form but brings a richer, more intense colour palette to summer borders and bouquets.

Growing to a substantial height, this variety produces strong, sturdy stems capable of holding its heavy, multi-layered flowers. The petals curl and twist in a relaxed, informal habit, creating a sense of movement and luxury that makes it a standout feature in any garden scheme.

Plant in full sun to ensure the most vibrant colour saturation, in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. As a dinnerplate variety, it requires a sheltered spot away from strong winds to protect its large, heavy heads.

Water generously during dry spells to support the massive blooms, and deadhead regularly to encourage a continuous display until the first frosts. In colder climates, lift the tubers after the foliage blackens and store them frost-free over winter.

A brilliant choice for exhibition growing and luxury floristry, ‘Café au Lait Rose’ pairs beautifully with lighter pinks and creams, offering a romantic and opulent focal point at the back of the border.

Sparaxis 'Mixed' brings a bright, contrasting mix of starry summer flowers to the very front of borders and containers, opening wide in sunshine for maximum impact. These small flowers are packed with personality and look best planted in generous drifts.

At around 25 cm tall, sparaxis stays neat and compact, making it ideal for pots, rockeries and edging. It flowers through summer and is especially effective mixed with other low-growing seasonal bulbs.

Plant corms in spring once the soil has warmed, in a sunny or lightly shaded, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Space corms closely for a full display, and improve drainage with grit if needed.

Water after planting and during dry spells while shoots develop. Once flowering finishes, allow foliage to die back naturally; in colder or wetter gardens, lift and store corms dry over winter.

A brilliant choice for colourful summer pots and for bringing a cheerful, jewel-toned feel to small spaces and wildlife-friendly planting.

Anemone coronaria ‘Mount Everest’ (St. Brigid) is a striking spring windflower with frilly, double white blooms and a fresh green centre. The compact plants suit borders, gravel gardens and pots, and the flowers are excellent for cutting. Each bloom is packed with petals for a soft, ruffled look.

These are Mediterranean corms, so drainage matters. Plant in a sunny to lightly shaded position, in gritty compost or well‑worked soil, where winter wet won’t linger around the corms. A raised bed or pot is ideal, and a sheltered spot helps protect new shoots.

For the best display, soak the corms briefly before planting, then set them 5–7cm deep. Group planting gives a fuller look, and they combine beautifully with tulips, muscari and early grasses. If you’re planting in containers, mix in grit to keep compost free‑draining.

Keep the soil just moist while shoots appear, then water during dry spells. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally so the corms can recharge for next year’s growth. Deadheading can extend the flowering window, and stems last well in a vase.

In colder or very wet gardens, lift and store the corms dry once the leaves yellow, or grow in containers you can shelter. A simple way to bring crisp white highlights to spring planting schemes. Where winters are mild and drainage is good, corms can be left in the ground to return.

Phlox paniculata Mixed produces an uplifting blend of scented summer flowers in a range of shades, bringing a classic cottage-garden feel to borders and delivering plenty of stems for cutting.

Plant in full sun or light partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Phlox appreciates consistent moisture and benefits from a mulched root run to help prevent stress in hot weather.

Water during dry spells and deadhead to encourage further blooms. Improve airflow by spacing plants well, and cut stems back to the base in late autumn after flowering has finished.

Ideal for mixed borders and wildlife-friendly gardens, phlox pairs beautifully with grasses and daisies, and the sweetly scented flowers are also loved by pollinators throughout the summer.

Arguably the world's most popular miniature daffodil, 'Tête-à-Tête' is a small but mighty harbinger of spring.

Bring a splash of pure sunshine to your garden with this delightful and vigorous allium. 'Jeannine' is a superior selection of the classic Golden Garlic, prized for its larger, more numerous flower clusters. It produces cheerful, cup-shaped umbels of brilliant, canary-yellow, star-like flowers that are guaranteed to brighten any corner. This compact plant is perfect for the front of sunny borders, rock gardens, or for naturalizing in drifts under deciduous trees where it will multiply happily year after year. Its bright blooms are not only a visual treat but are also long-lasting and incredibly easy to grow, asking for little more than a sunny spot to put on their dazzling show. A reliable and rewarding choice for adding a long-lasting pop of vibrant yellow.

Dahlia ‘Platinum’ is an elegant decorative variety that graces the garden with pristine white blooms, often touched with a whisper of lilac or cream at the heart. Its sophisticated form and clean colour make it a versatile addition to any planting scheme, acting as a palate cleanser amongst brighter colours.

This variety grows into a sturdy bush with broad, lush leaves that provide a dark green backdrop for the luminous flowers. The blooms are waterlily-esque in shape, with broad, slightly cupped petals that create a serene and structured appearance.

Plant in a sunny, open spot in fertile, well-drained soil. It appreciates a position with good air circulation to keep the foliage healthy and free from mildew later in the season.

Water consistently, directing moisture to the base of the plant rather than the foliage. Lift the tubers after the first frost blackens the leaves, clean them off, and store them in a frost-free environment for replanting next spring.

A brilliant choice for sophisticated, neutral borders, ‘Platinum’ brings a sense of calm and purity to the garden, glowing softly in the twilight and mixing effortlessly with all other colours in the vase.

Astilbe japonica ‘Bonn’ produces soft, feathery plumes of deep pink flowers that bring a light, elegant feel to shady borders, woodland gardens and moisture-retentive containers in early summer.

A compact, clump-forming perennial, it typically reaches around 10–50cm, carrying flowers just above attractive, fern-like foliage. Plant in drifts for a glowing, cloud-like effect through June and July.

Grow in dappled or partial shade in moist, humus-rich soil. Astilbes dislike drying out, so they perform best where the soil stays evenly moist, including near ponds or in consistently watered borders.

Water during dry spells, mulch in spring to conserve moisture, and cut back spent flower stems if you prefer a tidy look. Alternatively, leave seedheads for gentle texture into autumn.

Ideal for shady borders and waterside planting, ‘Bonn’ combines beautifully with hostas, ferns and brunnera. The plumes also make charming stems for cutting or drying.

Dahlia ‘Rainbow Silence’ is a delightful decorative variety that features a harmonious blend of soft peach, lilac, and yellow tones. The petals transition gently between these warm, sunset hues, creating a multifaceted bloom that looks different from every angle.

This variety forms a bushy, medium-height plant with strong stems that display the flowers well above the foliage. The blooms are fully double and rounded, offering a classic dahlia shape with a modern, pastel colour twist.

Water regularly during the growing season and apply a balanced liquid feed every couple of weeks once the buds appear. Remove spent flowers to channel energy into new growth and lift the tubers for winter storage in colder regions.

A brilliant choice for pastel-themed gardens, ‘Rainbow Silence’ provides a soft, glowing presence in the border and makes a wonderful cut flower that bridges the gap between pink and yellow arrangements.

Dahlia ‘My Love’ is a classic semi-cactus variety that produces elegant, pure white blooms with a hint of lime green at the centre. Known for its vigour and reliability, it is one of the most popular white dahlias for both garden display and cut flower use.

Reaching a tall stature, this variety sends up long, strong stems topped with spiky, needle-like petals that give the flower a starburst effect. Its height makes it an excellent candidate for the back of the border, where it can rise above lower-growing perennials.

Plant in full sun to keep the white petals bright and crisp, in well-drained, fertile soil. Due to its height, it is essential to stake this variety early in the season to prevent wind damage.

Water deeply once a week during dry periods and feed with a liquid tomato fertiliser from July onwards. When the season ends, lift the tubers and store them in dry compost or sand to overwinter safely.

A brilliant choice for "Moon Gardens" or all-white schemes, ‘My Love’ reflects evening light beautifully and serves as a versatile, long-lasting cut flower that complements any arrangement.

A classic and historic variety, 'Pheasant's Eye' is one of the last daffodils to bloom, extending the spring season beautifully. It features elegant, pure white petals that are distinctly swept back (reflexed), surrounding a very small, cup-like corona. The tiny cup is bright yellow with a clearly defined, fine red rim, which gives the flower its common name. It is beloved for its strong, sweet, and spicy fragrance that can perfume the air. It is an outstanding choice for naturalising in meadows, orchards, or informal parts of the garden where it will return and multiply for decades. It holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.

A classic and striking daffodil, 'Barrett Browning' is a Small-Cupped variety that offers a crisp and powerful colour contrast. The large, rounded petals are a pure, clean white, forming a perfect backdrop for the small, bowl-shaped cup. This cup is the main feature, glowing with a brilliant, fiery orange-red that creates an electrifying focal point. The flowers are held on tall, strong stems and face outwards, showing off their beautiful form and colour. Blooming in early to mid-spring, 'Barrett Browning' is a fantastic and reliable choice for adding a splash of high-voltage colour to borders and is an excellent variety for mass plantings and naturalising, where its bright cups will shine like beacons across the landscape.

Anemone nemorosa 'Blue Eyes' is a woodland classic, bringing white flowers with a sky-blue eye to shady corners in early spring. The starry blooms appear in a fresh carpet above finely cut foliage, brightening banks, underplanting and the front of borders when little else is flowering, and they look especially beautiful planted in repeating groups.

Reaching about 15–25cm in flower, wood anemones spread steadily to form natural-looking colonies. They are ideal for planting beneath deciduous trees and shrubs, where they enjoy spring light before the canopy closes, and they naturalise beautifully in woodland-style gardens.

Plant rootstocks in autumn or early spring in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. A position in partial shade is ideal, though they will tolerate sun in cool, damp ground. Water after planting and keep soil just moist while new growth establishes.

Once settled, wood anemones are low maintenance. Leave foliage to die back naturally after flowering so plants can recharge for next year. A light mulch of leaf mould or compost in autumn supports healthy colonies and helps retain soil moisture.

Use wood anemones to create spring drifts under shrubs, along pathways and on woodland edges. The flowers are pollinator-friendly and provide early nectar, while the spreading habit helps knit planting together for a soft, natural finish.

Hymenocallis × festalis 'Zwanenburg' produces fragrant white, spidery flowers with a central cup, sending up dramatic flower spikes that add structure and summer interest to borders and patio pots. The blooms open progressively up the stem for a longer display and excellent cut stems.

Reaching an established height of around 50–70 cm, this bulb forms neat clumps of fresh foliage, then flowers in the warmest months when many spring bulbs have finished.

Plant in spring in a warm, sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. Work in compost to improve fertility and drainage, and avoid waterlogged ground, which can rot dormant bulbs or corms.

Water during dry spells while growth is active and feed every two to three weeks once buds form. Remove spent stems for a tidy finish, but leave foliage until it dies back naturally to feed next year’s bulb.

Ideal for borders, containers and cutting gardens, these spikes bring a slightly exotic note to planting schemes. In colder areas, lift and store bulbs once foliage yellows, or protect them well in a sheltered spot.

Anemone coronaria 'Lord Lieutenant' (St. Brigid) brings royal purple-blue double blooms to borders and containers, opening with clean, papery petals around a dark eye that reads beautifully from a distance. These jewel-like blooms add instant sparkle to spring and early-summer displays, and look especially striking planted in drifts.

Growing from corms, this anemone forms a tidy clump of finely cut foliage with compact, upright stems. Once established it produces a steady succession of flowers that sit neatly above the leaves, making it ideal for edging, patio pots, and cutting.

Soak corms for a few hours before planting, then set them 5–7cm deep in well-drained soil in full sun or light partial shade. Choose a sheltered spot and enrich the ground with organic matter for best results, keeping the soil evenly moist while roots develop.

Water during dry spells and avoid waterlogging, particularly in heavy soils. A light feed as growth begins supports flowering, and removing spent blooms helps keep the display tidy. In colder areas, a winter mulch or container protection can improve return and longevity.

Perfect for cutting gardens and seasonal arrangements, anemones offer long-lasting stems when picked just as buds begin to open. They also provide early nectar for pollinators, bringing colour and wildlife value to smaller spaces as well as mixed borders.

Dahlia ‘Black Jack’ is a dramatic cactus variety that commands attention with its spiky, dark maroon petals that appear almost black in certain lights. It adds instant depth and mystery to the garden, serving as a perfect counterpoint to brighter, lighter blooms in a mixed herbaceous border.

This variety forms a bushy, upright plant with dark, lush foliage that enhances the moody intensity of the flowers. The pointed, tubular petals radiate outward, giving the blooms a star-like quality that adds texture and architectural interest to planting schemes.

Plant in full sun to help the dark pigments develop fully, ensuring the soil is rich in organic matter and well-drained. Like all dahlias, it appreciates a feeding of high-potash fertiliser once blooming begins to sustain its performance.

Support with stakes as the plant grows, as the stems can become top-heavy with flowers. Remove spent blooms to keep the plant tidy and productive, and lift tubers in autumn to protect them from freezing temperatures.

A brilliant choice for contemporary and gothic-inspired gardens, ‘Black Jack’ looks stunning when planted alongside lime-green foliage or bright orange flowers, creating a bold, high-contrast display.
