Wildflower Bulbs 'In The Green'
Spring is always an exciting time for gardeners as it’s when much of the colour begins to return to our flower beds. To help you get things going, we stock a wide range of early-flowering wildflower bulbs 'in the green' to plant in Janaury and February, flowering in a matter of weeks from planting! (For bulbs to plant in the autumn, see our autumn-planted wildflower bulbs.)
Planting wildflower bulbs ‘in the green’ is the easiest way to establish some of our most treasured wildflower species, such as Daffodil bulbs and Bluebell bulbs. Planting in the green means planting while the bulb is actively in growth, rather than dormant bulbs that are planted in previous seasons ready for spring.
