Fritillaria Imperialis Aurora
M5381
Description
Fritillaria Imperialis ‘Aurora’ produces vivid orange-red bell-shaped flowers suspended beneath a striking crown of glossy green foliage, creating a bold architectural display in spring. The fiery blooms of Fritillaria Imperialis ‘Aurora’ bring height, drama, and rich seasonal colour to April borders, formal planting schemes, and large patio containers.
Ideal for fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position, this stately Crown Imperial performs beautifully where its strong upright form can take centre stage. Reliable and eye-catching, it adds structure and grandeur to spring gardens year after year.
Care Guide
Failing to flower after the first year is due to a lack of potash fertiliser, which is necessary for spurring bloom formation for the following year’s flowering.
Plant large bulbs 15 cm deep and small bulbs 8 cm deep, in well-drained soil.
Plant bulbs on their side to prevent water getting into the hollow crown.

Delft Blue
H2851
Exquisitely scented, star-shaped florets of soft-blue smother the stems of Hyacinth ‘Delft Blue,’ as they burst into bloom, indoors at Christmastime.
Delft Blue holds a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for its exceptional qualities.
These specially prepared bulbs are designed to flower during the darkest depths of winter, when colour and scent are most welcome in the home.
Despatched in September, the bulbs should be planted shallowly in bowls or containers, with the green tip and section of bulb above soil level.
Hyacinth ‘Delft Blue’ is also ideal for forcing in water. Place each prepared bulb in the top of a hyacinth vase, with the base sitting above, but not touching water level. Roots will rapidly form, seeking out the water below.
For Christmas flowers, keep your containers in a cool, dark place until the beginning of December when they can be brought out into the light.

Yellowstone
H2860
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.
