Plan your bulb planting ahead of their season to enjoy a succession of colour all year. From late-winter snowdrops to spring daffodils and tulips, before the arrival of summer's cut flower favourites, such as alliums, lilies and long-flowering dahlias. Plus, there's always something to sow all year round, be it annual flowers or vegetable crops.
Lilium regale ‘Album’ delivers large, pure white, trumpet shaped blooms with a soft butter yellow throat and an irresistible fragrance. Reaching around 90cm tall and producing up to fifteen trumpets per stem, it’s a florist favourite and a stunning choice for borders or patio pots.
The earliest and bravest of all spring-flowering bulbs, Galanthus nivalis, with its tiny white petals and green-tinged centres, bursts into bloom when the weather is at its worst.
