Plant description

Discover the captivating beauty of our rockery flower tulip collection, showcasing an array of March to April-flowering species tulips. Bask in the delicate charm of soft lemon, ivory, and golden tones as these exquisite blooms grace your garden. Embrace the elegance of spring with this collection, adding a touch of warmth and radiance to your rockery or any outdoor space.

What's included:

In each collection you will receive the following:

  • 10 × Narcissus romieuxii 'Julia Jane': The rich green foliage of this lovely little narcissus is very slender, helping to accentuate the beauty of the soft lemon flowers, which appear in early spring. Diminutive in stature, it will offer early colour in an alpine bed, but also lends itself well to mixed displays of potted seasonal bedding. Grows to 20cm.

  • 10 × Narcissus bulbocodium: This is not easily recognised as a traditional daffodil, but its bright golden trumpets give away its ancestry. A low-growing variety, this is best suited to an alpine bed or rockery where it can be used as an early spring specimen. Alternatively pot it up and move it to a prominent spot when it starts to flower. Grows to 20cm.

  • 5 × Narcissus cantabricus :This low-growing gem produces its white trumpet-like flowers during the winter, so it's ideal for adding a splash of colour to a sheltered rockery or alpine bed at a time when little else is in bloom. They can also be potted up and grown on before being brought inside for a short period when they start to flower. Grows to 20cm.

    GOES WELL WITH

    Bulb blindness

    Bulbs produce lovely foliage but no flowers. Either no buds at all appear or those that do are dry and virtually empty of petals. Daffodils (Narcissi) are usually the worst affects, especially multi-headed or double forms.

    I would forgive the beautiful lily beetle almost anything apart from eating my lilies! Despite my best efforts, they seem to return year after year at this time to munch irregular holes in leaves, flowers and anything else they can find called lily – actu

    Plant spring bulbs

    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
