Narcissus ‘Bell Song’

Lightly scented flowers open in spring, with a creamy yellow outer and a small apricot cup that fades to cream as the flowers mature.

Nerine bowdenii 

A welcome burst of colour at the end of the year, these bulbs will bulk up in the garden or in pots to provide a long-lasting display. Their flowers come up ‘naked’ in the autumn, followed by long strap like leaves in the spring before the whole plant may go dormant in the summer, and if they like their conditions they can remain undisturbed for years to come.
