Bulbs add stunning effect to spring gardens

Sweeping drifts of Tulipa ‘Ballerina’ and Tulipa ‘Princess Irene’ add great appeal to any garden during spring before the herbaceous plantings come into flower.

This contemporary garden has been designed to give all year round colour and texture, tulips are followed closely in late May and early June by vast tracts of allium hollandicum ‘Purple Sensation’. Bulbs planted in September and October the previous season are always a pleasant surprise to any garden design, we recommend that a planting scheme for bulbs is prepared during the first season of any new garden. this allows you to appreciate the extent of perennial and shrub plantings during one growing season, in particular it enables us to identify any particularly bare areas of the garden during the spring.
