Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy
M6215
Description
Eucomis ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ is a true showstopper, prized for its striking deep reddish-purple foliage that intensifies as the summer progresses.
Soft pink, starry blooms, offset beautifully against the dark leaves. Topped with the classic tufted crown, Eucomis ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ has a presence that few summer bulbs can match.
A proud holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, Eucomis ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ is celebrated for its reliable performance in borders and containers.
Care Guide
For best results, grow Eucomis in pots indoors, in a bright room such as a conservatory, or in a greenhouse. In mild regions, the Pineapple Flower can also be grown outdoors in the garden in full sun. A shady position will result in reduced flowering.
Pots can be taken outdoors for the summer months and brought indoors before temperatures drop in autumn.
Plant the bulbs 10cm deep and 20-30cm apart into a container filled with a mix of coarse, well-drained soil. Provide consistent watering, 2-3 times per week during spring and summer, ensuring the soil remains moderately moist. Do not allow the bulbs to sit in wet soil over the winter.
Mulch the soil surrounding your Eucomis bulbs or top dress pots in late autumn.

Majalis Rosea
M6132
Flooding the air with exquisite scent, Lily of the Valley is a breath-taking spring delight. The exciting new variety Convallaria ‘Majalis Rosea’ adorns this woodland classic with a soft, blushing charm: the usually white blooms are suffused with shell pink.
Dangling delicately from fine, arching stems, the scalloped bells bob in the breeze against lush green foliage. The ‘pips’ of Convallaria will happily naturalise in a partially shaded spot, providing carpets of hazy pink for under-planting trees, shrubs and perennials.
Convallaria ‘Majalis Rosea’ is also beautiful for forcing indoors, and makes an enchanting cut flower for petite, perfumed bouquets.

Speciosum
M6033
Originating from the Eastern Himalayas, Arisaema ‘Speciosum’ is a spectacular, exotic plant which looks as though it belongs on another planet – but you can grow it in your garden!
Arisaema are often called the ‘Cobra Lily’ due to the distinctive, hooded, serpentine shape of their inflorescens. Striped by bands of oxblood red interspersed with veins of pale green, the hood of Arisaema ‘Speciosum’ gradually unfurls to reveal a prominent spadix.
Spreading above the unusual flowers, broad, ornamental leaves are held on thick, mottled stems, creating a structural statement with their architectural form. An astonishing focal point for a damp, shady part of your garden.
