We have a wide range of spring-flowering bulbs in stock, as now is the best time to plant them ready for next year. 

We’re backing the Horticultural Trades Association’s (HTA) annual ‘Plan it, Plant it this Autumn’ campaign to make autumn special.

Autumn is already upon us and it is the perfect time to get out into the garden and plant spring flowering bulbs.

We’re backing the Horticultural Trades Association’s (HTA) annual ‘Plan it, Plant it this Autumn’ campaign again this year.

With bulb planting season rapidly gathering momentum we have decided to choose two plants of the month for September, and they both come in bulb form ready to burst into bloom next spring. Tulip: Hotpants First up we have Taylors bulb of the year: Hotpants. This tulip comes with unusual white and claret stripes, enough to bring a vibrant look to any garden.
