Prepared Christmas Hyacinth Yellow Stone
H2860
Description
Hyacinth ‘Yellow Stone,’ produces pretty, ruffled spikes of frilled lemon-yellow flowers which bloom in exuberance and emit a rich perfume.
Recipient of a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS.
These specially prepared bulbs have been treated in order to flower at, or around Christmastime, bringing a touch of spring indoors when the weather is still chilly outside.
Despatched in September, the bulbs should be planted in bowls or containers of bulb compost, with a third of the bulb still visible, and placed in a dark, cold room for 12-14 weeks. Expect flowers in 2-3 weeks once the containers are brought out into a bright, warm room.
These spectacular Hyacinths can also be forced in water by placing each prepared bulb in the top of a hyacinth vase, with the base sitting above, but not touching water level. Roots will rapidly form, sensing the water source below. Store and treat in the same way as potted bubs as above.

Speciosus Albus
C2063
Pure white petals unfold during autumn, revealing a pretty cluster of rich-orange stamens on Crocus ‘Speciosus Albus’.
One of the first Crocus to bloom in September, this charming variety has been granted an Award of Garden Merit from The Royal Horticultural Society for its reliability, ethereal looks and excellent garden qualities.
Leaves appear in spring and fade during summer before the elegant flowers bloom, topping smooth bare stems.
These unusual Croci are invaluable for late season interest in the garden and look exquisite flowering in ribbons or clumps through the front of an autumn border and in grass beneath a mature tree.

Kiss of Spring
C2161
Crocus Kiss of Spring (korolkowii) dazzles with bright yellow flowers adorned with maroon-brown feathering, offering a vivid burst of colour in early spring. These cheerful blooms thrive in sunny, well-drained spots, bringing joy and warmth to any garden. Their striking maroon accents add unique charm, making these a standout choice for garden enthusiasts looking to create a visually stunning display.

Large Flowering Mixture of Yellow & White
C2255
A fresh and zesty, balanced mixture of crisp white and rich yellow Large-Flowering Dutch Crocus.
This refreshing collection of superior Crocus bulbs is perfect for planting as a yearly harbinger of spring and indication of warmer times ahead with sunshine tones and gleaming petals.
Blooming during February and March, the large, glossy goblets create striking ribbons of colour when they flower in wide grassy areas.
For a natural-looking effect, scatter the bulbs before planting beneath a mature tree. The dappled shade provided by an early spring canopy will help the sun-loving, ethereal blooms last a little longer.
Crocuses are wonderful for naturalising and are great for attracting pollinators into the garden.
Bulbs will thrive best in a sunny spot, in well-drained, rich soil.
