Trillium Erectum
M6812
Description
Trillium Erectum produces rich reddish-purple to deep purple flowers above fresh pale green foliage, creating a striking woodland display in spring. The elegant blooms of Trillium erectum rise neatly above the leaves, bringing natural charm and subtle drama to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and moisture-retentive planting schemes.
A highly regarded and reliable variety, Trillium Erectum thrives in humus-rich soil with dappled shade, where it gradually forms attractive clumps and returns year after year with refined seasonal beauty.
Care Guide
Grow Trillium in a shaded, well-drained area with neutral to acid soil. Woodland areas where the soil is naturally moist and rich in leaf mould suit these unusual plants best. Plant the corms 7.5 cm deep, spaced 30 cm apart in the soil. Provide consistent watering, ensuring the soil stays evenly damp.
May be slow to establish, however Trillium are well worth the wait for their lush carpets of exquisite, marbled foliage and large 3-petalled flowers in early summer.
An annual mulch with leaf mould will feed the plants sufficiently, retain soil moisture levels and help to suppress weeds.

Purple Mix
M4993
A stunning, tonal mix of Allium bulbs to pep up early summer gardens.
This delightful collection of purple Alliums produces flowers with different sized heads in complementary shades and at varying heights. Perfect for threading through perennial borders in grouped clusters where they will settle in and multiply over the years.
The jewel-like spheres of Alliums are invaluable blooms for the garden during May and June, as spring crosses into summer and beds and borders can sometimes lack a little colour before summer plants burst into bloom.
The heads can be left on their stems to fade and dry out naturally, adding winter interest.

Dwarf Cyclamineus Daffodil ‘Peeping Jenny’ is a charming and distinctive variety with petals that open soft primrose-yellow before gradually fading to elegant ivory white.

Compact and beautifully formed, this eye-catching daffodil is ideal for pots, rockeries, borders, and naturalised planting schemes where its changing tones and graceful shape can be fully appreciated.
