Summer Bulbs

 The elegant, slender stems of this bulb are topped with dome-shaped clusters of violet flowers in early summer, which mix easily with most shades of blue and purple. Team up with lower growing perennials that will mask the allium’s foliage, which usually dies back before the flowers appear. 

We also stock ‘Graceful Beauty’.

Prefers full sun / part shade and a free draining soil.

Deep orange-brown flowers with dark burgundy edges are the hallmark of this exotic-looking gladiolus. Rising above sword-shaped, dark grey-green leaves, the sturdy and erect flowering spikes appear over a fortnight in summer to grace the cottage garden, cut-flower vase, or greenhouse. May need to be lifted for the winter.

 We also stock ‘June’, ‘Lemonicious’, ‘Lola Montez’ & ‘Priscilla’.

Prefers full sun in very free draining soil.

 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.

Prefers full sun and a very free draining soil.
