Is this plant hardy, looks spectacular but up here in the chilly wet north west (Manchester)?
Thanks,
Ian
HI Ian
We aren’t too far from you in Alsager, Cheshire and we grow Nerines well. They are Hardy – H5 (-15°C to -10°C) / Semi-Hardy – so they could do with a mulch over winter to protect them from frost.

I was given 3 Amarine bulbs for Christmas, they are still in the paper bag in my house, can you please tell me where to store, when to plant etc.

HI Wendy
Store your Amarine bulbs somewhere cool, dry and frost free and plant them out next month.

I will be ordering plants from your web site, before I can would you advise me the maximum number Roselily plants I can plant in a 60cm Dia planter.
Is it OK to plant these Lillies in groups of 3 0r 5 ? in the planter.
Would you advise if it is suitable to fill the planter using Ericaceous soil mixed with John Innes No3 soil?
Is it best to plant the bulbs at the bottom of the planter and then cover to the top with the soil?
Many thanks – Terry
Hi Terry
You need to plant your bulbs with 4-6″ of soil above the top of the bulbs mixing the Ericaceous with John Innes No.3 is perfect. You could plant 9 (3×3) to 10 (5×2) roselily bulbs in this size pot.

How should nerine bowdenii bulbs be stored prior to planting?
I have been given some and it is too cold and wet in my garden to plant them out now.
Keep your Nerines somewhere dry and cool and frost free before planting them out in the Spring.

Hello. I am looking at your scadoxus bulbs. Can you tell me what 16cm+ bulb size means please, and are these flowering size bulbs.
Many thanks
Wayne
HI Wayne
It’s the circumference of the bulb. So the Scadoxus bulbs we have are 16cm+ which is top size for these. This means you will benefit from them being more mature and producing a better display the first year compared to smaller, less developed bulbs.

I have just purchased one of the above and would like to know what size planter it would need to put in as my soil is prone to water logging here.

With the mixed pack of dahliasis each one named or pot luck? Why is cafe au lait £10 not £4 as with the others?
Looking forward to placing an early order
Many thanks
HI Jane
Cafe Au Lait is a larger variety and a more expensive variety unfortunately.
The dahlia collections are packed individually so you know which varieties you have.

Can I plant these bulbs out now or should I wait till March ?

Hi Brianne
If you have them now, plant them now. We do not send our out until early spring but get them in the ground if you have them.
