Flowers for May

Hi,
Just wanted some advice as to which lily bulbs are perennial? I was wanting to get a gift for my neighbour of flowers that bloom around May each year as a memory for someone they lost.

Hi Alice

That’s a lovely idea – yes our bulbs are perennial. Lilies do tend to flower a bit later than May though. Have you seen the Lily of the Valley that flower in May? They are gorgeous, have a beautiful perfume and multiply each year.

Mine are resting for the winter in a greenhouse. Should I cut off the high stem at bulb level or will it die back anyway?
Thanks!

Hi Martin

Leave the stem and foliage to die back naturally. Once it has turned to a brown colour you can remove it all. Eucomis like some protection over winter.

I recently ordered some lilies but discovered Lily ‘Spectator’ was out of stock. Will you get more in ready for the Spring planting season?

Unfortunately we haven’t got Lilium Spectator available this year. Have you looked at Solution which is a similar oriental lily.

NERINE bulb planting & delivery month

This question was asked by

Wanting to order now but not expecting bulbs until early March.

Are these surface planted – with only lower half below surface?

Hi John

Yes that is correct. Nerines will be dispatched in the Spring (you can choose which month from your Basket). They need planting with their necks above ground. Have you seen our Breeder’s Blend – the colours look magnificent together.

Hello,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the Muscari bulbs I received the other day. I’d been let down by another company and was running out of time and then a quick Google search led me to you! I’m so impressed by the speed of your service and your excellent prices and will definitely be back next year.
Wishing everyone at the nursery a very happy Christmas and many thanks once again.

Dahlia tubers

Hi, I was hoping to order some spring planting dahlias (for summer flowers) to give as a Christmas present, but everywhere seems to want to send them out in the Spring. Is it possible to get a delivery before Christmas? Thanks.

Hi Richard

Unfortunately not, Dahlias are not lifted just yet and won’t be ready until the spring. You can pre-order them for february delivery.

You could always send a Gift Certificate and greeting card if you wanted to send it as a present for someone and they can choose some dahlias for next year.
