I do not seem to find this tulip in your catalogue.
Hi there,
We don’t have that tulip I’m afraid. We do have Tulip ‘Hot Pants’ (harts107714) which is similar.
Kind regards

Do you sell bluebells?
Hello there,
Yes we do sell Bluebells but it’s the wrong time of year to plant them. They need planting in the Autumn for Spring flowering.

Perennials
This question was asked by
I am widowed and retired, a gardener not……Are there perennials that will appear throughout the year.
All our bulbs are perennials and they will come back each year. Depending on which bulbs you plant will depend on what time of year they will flower. Our website will tell you when each bulb’s flowering period is.
Start by looking in the Spring Planted Bulbs and Lilies Categories – these will flower this summer. Then you will need to look at the Autumn Planted Bulbs and these will flower int the Spring.

How to avoid bulb from rotting
This question was asked by
Hello
As I am new to gardening please could you advise me how to avoid daffodil, tulip and crocus bulbs from rotting when planting in my garden boarders and pots.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you very much.
With Kind Regards

Hi Fliss
You need to ensure your soil has plenty of drainage. You can add some horticultural grit to your soil to encourage good drainage. But if you have clay soil, then you will need to plant your bulbs in pots and not in the garden. Hope this help.

Hi there,
Unfortunately we won’t have any Lilium Carbonero this year – have you seen Largo? This is a beautiful variety similar to Carbonero.

Hi there, I’ve just leased myself an allotment and my wife wants to grow Dow Jones tulips and oriental Stargazer Lilies. How and when do I plant? Thanks
Hi Josh
The tulips need planting after the first frosts this autumn and the lilies will need planting next spring for summer flowering.
All planting instructions can be found on our product pages online.

Hi – we bought iris bulbs from Newby Hall and want to buy more but don’t want the same variety. Can you please tell me the 2 varieties we would have bought please. If I purchase lily bulbs now, will I have to pay p&p for them as they get delivered later thank you
Hi Rose
Yes, there will be a delivery charge for the lilies but if you order your Iris this weekend then you will get free delivery for those with code FREESHIP.
The Iris we had at the Harrogate flower show were Blue Hill and Purple Hill.

The best white allium cultivar?
This question was asked by
Hello,
Sorry to bother you, I was just wondering which white globe allium you’d recommend as the best one? I’ve seen some advice that says Mount Everest performs better than White Giant but it’s not very clear.
I’m trying to find the whitest flowers that last the longest.
Thank you
Jack
Hi there,
I would recommend White Giant for being taller and stronger and a an-round-better allium.

Planting bulbs
This question was asked by
I purchased a large number of bulbs yesterday from your stall at Wisley.
My understanding is that it is best to wait to plant tulip bulbs when it is colder, late October to November. Do you agree?
If so, is it ok to store the bulbs in a dry garage in their sacks and brown paper bags?
Yes – you need to wait until the first frosts as they will kill any virus’s in the soil. You can store your tulips as they are in a cool, dark place like a garage etc. Ensure any rodents can’t get to them.

Hyacinth Gipsy Queen
This question was asked by
Can you plant them in the borders or containers and just leave them without having to dig them up?
Hi there,
Not really, Hyacinths need protecting from the frosts.
Caring for Hyacinth outdoors in the garden
Blooms should be removed as soon as they shows signs of brown.
Leave the foliage to die back natural.
Bulbs can be lifted as soon as the foliage has died back and stored in a cool, dry place.
Caring for Hyacinths outdoors in containers
Wrap containers with bubble wrap to protect from frost.
Once the flowers have faded, retuned the container to a sheltered spot in the garden.
