This collection comprises three beautiful varieties; 'Italian White', 'Harlequin', and 'Velvet Queen'.
Camassias (Wild hyacinths) are one of the easiest, simple to look after bulbs you can grow, thriving in poor soils that other bulbs tend to struggle in. Extremely hardy, this perennial bulb returns year after year, with bigger and better displays and can be successfully naturalised in grass. In late spring, loose spikes of stunning white and violet-blue, star-shaped flowers appear on top of tall stems and are the perfect to compliment tulips. As they flower before many perennials are in bloom, Camassias will add an invaluable splash of colour to your garden. Perfect for sun or light shade, they're also good in containers and as cut flowers, so you can grow and enjoy them even without a garden. Supplied as a pack of 6 bulbs, size 12/14 ready for planting out in autumn.
A recent introduction, Gaura lindheimeri 'Gambit' is a compact perennial with delightful flowers held on long graceful stems above mounds of narrow foliage. Flowering from May all the way to September Gaura brings a wonderful splash of colour to your garden, and as it keeps on flowering right into the autumn, your borders will look magnificent, even as other summer flowering plants are fading away. With its fresh and airy look, our Gaura collection in shades of pink and white will add a delicate lightness to your planting, as its butterfly-like flowers dance in the breeze. Foliage is a compact cushion of deep burgundy flushed young leaves that mature to dark green, with flowers buds rising on wand-like stems before bursting open into beautifully bright flowers. A light, informal plant, 'Gambit' will fill gaps in your borders and because it's a prairie native, it looks fabulous in wildflower of cottage style planting schemes. It also does well in pots, where its long flowering season will brighten up your patio month after month. Easy to grow and fully winter hardy and drought tolerant, it prefers a warm spot in a light soil where it can happily grow upwards through other plants, a marvellous addition to any garden! Supplied as a collection of 10 plug plants in 4 shades of pink and white, growing to a height and spread of 40cm: 2 x Bicolour - delightful pale pink flowers edged in magenta. 2 x Pink - deliciously light, candyfloss pink. 3 x Rose - panicles of deep pink blooms. 3 x White - pure white, star shaped flowers.
Spruce up your summer borders with our dazzling perennial collection! With something for every location, these hardy garden favourites will bring interest to the garden from late spring to late summer. Perfect for filling gaps or squeezing into established borders for an extra splash of colour, where they will return year after year.
Fill your summer garden with an explosion of tropical colour! Oriental Lilies are prized for their large, trumpet shaped flowers and powerful fragrance. The tall, sturdy stems are cloaked in dark green foliage creating the perfect contrast to their vibrant coloured blooms.
One of the most opulent and striking of the autumn-flowering bulbs, Colchicums are best known for their spectacular goblet-shaped, lilac-pink flowers in September and October. Colchicum flowers emerge first from their summer dormancy, earning the name 'Naked Ladies', followed by large, strappy leaves that are retained until mid-summer. Fully hardy and the perfect candidate for naturalising in grass, colchicum is one of those bulbs that surprise and delight every year when they emerge in a prelude to the main spring bulb event - giving us a taster of what the new year will bring. Each large bulb will produce multiple flowers and are an excellent choice for rockeries or for borders where drainage is good, and they can even be grown on a windowsill without soil in a hyacinth vase (or even a saucer). Easy to grow in good, fertile soil, the bright flowers of this autumn crocus are weather resistant too, giving a good display when many other plants are becoming dormant. Supplied as a pack of 3 bulbs, ready for immediate planting.
Fill your beds and borders with this bargain perennial collection. Perennial plants will bloom year after year and they can also be cut and brought into the house for beautiful flower arrangements.
