Description

Your best ever spring bedding and pot displays! All the ‘Frills and Spikes’ of early spring flowers, but without the intense upkeep and maintenance - they’re so easy to grow.

Very versatile, this mixed collection of Tulip ‘Parrot’ and Narcissus ‘Rip van Winkle’ will make an impact whether planted in decorative patio containers or mixed flowerbeds, plus the blooms erupt on tall stems so are easy to snip and include in fresh cut flower vase displays.

Enjoy this excellent collection that includes:

20 x Tulip ‘Parrot’ Mix bulbs, size 10/11: Colourful and ruffled, mimicking the feathers of a tropical parrot, inspiring the name! These tulip blooms emerge in spring with streaked petals that are wavy at the edges. These bright flowers cap off tall and sturdy stems that rise from the green foliage.

25 x Narcissus 'Rip van Winkle' bulbs, size 8/10: Daffodils deserve the incredible reputation that proceeds them. In fact, the emergence of these bright yellow blooms is one of the first signs that spring has arrived – you’ll be one of the first to know. The distinctive flowers even release a sweet scent onto the breeze.

Supplied as a set of 45 bulbs, ready to plant in autumn.

Top Tips
  • Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots before planting to encourage faster and more reliable establishment.
Care Information

Bulb Planting Advice:

  • Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
  • They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they’ll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
  • Leave them in the ground once they die back for flowers again next year.
  • While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
  • Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
  • If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.

Aftercare Advice:

  • Bulbs can be planted as late as December, but it’s best to get your bulbs in the ground earlier so that they can establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
  • Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
  • Water frequently and if in pots ensure that the compost doesn't dry out.

Cutting Back:

  • Once flowering is over, it is important to leave the leaves on until they have died right down, usually by early summer. This allows the bulbs to store food and produce flowers in the following year.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
