Selection of bulbs

This question was asked by
– Philip P – 

We would like some help on a selection of bulbs that flower from the beginning of January and then flower throughout the year, they are for our family plot at the crematorium, the space is 2.5 ft by 5 ft, and we would like to plant then all at once, kind regards

Hi Philip

To have flowers in bloom early in the year through to late autumn, you would need to plant them at different times of the year.

You can search on our website for flowering months which will help you plan for this. You will need to look in the Autumn Planted Bulbs section for the earlier flowering varieties and then move to the Spring Planted Bulbs section for the summer through to Autumn flowers. Search by month and this should help you get a long lasting display through out the year. You can also search by height and border position.

Very many thanks for my order of Casa Blanca lilies, I was most impressed with the quality and condition of the bulbs. They are now planted in a site formerly occupied by a favourite of mine, echiums! They succumbed to the really bad frosts in February.
I have only just discovered your website, very impressive indeed. Shall send an order for various items in due course.
My thanks.

Hi Patrick

Thank you for your lovely comments – we really appreciate it.

Have a good day.

Hi Robert

The closest blue dahlia we have is called Veritable. If you google it you will see the slight colour variations you can get with it. Our website image looks more purple but it is classed as blue.

Freesia bulbs

– Laura S

Hi there
I recently received my order and the freesia bulbs were already sprouting. I wasn’t planning to plant them for another month due to possible frost but I’m concerned if I don’t get them in now they will be no good. Is this what you would expect? What would you suggest?
Thanks in advance
Laura

Hi Laura

You can store your freesias somewhere cool and dry and they should be fine.
