Summer Bulb Collection

Our Summer Bulb Collection has something for every area of the garden! Low growing Allium and Oxalis make a lovely display in alpine troughs and rockeries. Taller perennials, such as Crocosmia and Liatris are perfect for adding height to the back of borders. We’ve even added some Freesias so you will never be short of cut flowers to perfume your home. This great value collection is the perfect way to add a succession of summer colour to your garden. For best effects, group each species together to create bold clumps of colour.

Collection comprises of the following varieties:
Gladiolus murielae (Acidanthera) (10 bulbs) - Elegant white blooms with deep burgundy blotch at the base of each petal make a sophisticated addition to late summer borders. Height: 90cm (35"). Spread: 10cm (4").
Allium moly (25 bulbs) - A vigorous little allium with golden yellow flowers that is ideal for naturalising in informal planting schemes. Height: 15cm (6"). Spread: 5cm (2").
Oxalis tetraphylla 'Iron Cross' (45 bulbs) - Makes a highly decorative pot plant but is equally effective as ground cover in alpine troughs and rockeries. Height and spread: 15cm (6").
Brodiaea 'Queen Fabiola' (40 bulbs) - Sturdy stems carry multiple clusters of up to 25 lilac-blue flowers. Its long swathes of grassy foliage die back in late spring just as the flowers come into bloom. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 10cm (4").
Crocosmia 'Lucifer' (3 bulbs) - Tall arching stems drip with fiery red trumpets above crimped, sword-like foliage in a late summer blaze of colour as other border perennials begin to fade. Height: 100cm (39"). Spread: 10cm (4").
Freesia Single Mix (15 bulbs) - A classic mix of colours with an exquisite perfume. Their short, stiff stems make them good border plants and superb cut flowers. Height: 35cm (14"). Spread: 15cm (6").
Liatris spicata (12 bulbs) - Tall, glowing, mauve-purple flower spikes make a majestic sight in late summer, attracting clouds of bees and butterflies to the nectar rich blooms. Height: 150cm (60"). Spread: 45cm (18").
