10 × Tulipa 'Night Club'
Stout stems that can carry up to six flowers each rise above the strappy green foliage in late spring. Their rich violet-pink colouring means they can be teamed with softer pinks and lavenders - and being multi-headed, they will create a real impact in the borders. Grows to 50cm tall.
10 × Tulipa 'Candy Club'
Usually producing several flowers on each stem, this late-flowering tulip offers great value for money. Also, the blooms chanage colour as they mature (initially being creamy white with a fine pink flush, but then turning rich pink), so you will often have a blend of differently coloured flowers on the stems at the same time. Grows to 50cm tall.
10 × Tulipa 'Synaeda Blue'
This stunning tulip claims to be the bluest yet. It is not however a true blue, but a sort of pinky-purple with lavender tones - and it has a generous outline of white. The petals gently curve inwards and create a slightly tapered bowl, which looks particularly good planted next to pure white tulips. Grows to 40cm tall. - Garden care: From August to November plant the bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. While actively growing, keep them moderately well watered and remove the flowers after they have faded. At that stage a balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied each week for 4 weeks before they die down.

Spring bulbs, such as daffodils and hyacinths, can be planted whenever the soil conditions allow. As a rough guide, cover them with about twice as much soil as the bulb is deep: so that a 5cm (2in) deep bulb would need a 15cm (6in) deep hole so that it
