Muscari Armeniacum Marleen
M5726
Description
Muscari armeniacum ‘Marleen’ produces masses of very large deep cobalt-blue flowers that bring bold spring colour and rich fragrance to the garden. The densely packed blooms of Muscari armeniacum ‘Marleen’ create a striking display in borders, containers, and naturalised planting schemes, where their vivid blue tones stand out beautifully against fresh spring foliage.
Robust and reliable, this impressive grape hyacinth is ideal for drifting through lawns, beneath trees, or along pathways, gradually forming vibrant carpets of long-lasting colour year after year. Its strong perfume and intense colouring make it a standout addition to any spring garden display.
Care Guide
Very easy to grow, this is a useful and popular clump-forming plant, producing splashes of colour in the rockery or at the edges of beds and borders.
Usually blue (but not always), they are frequently planted between taller bulbs such as tulips and daffodils.
They can also be used for naturalising in woodland or planted in swathes. Plant 7cm deep, 10cm apart.

Sir Winston Churchill
N0279
An intensely scented and long-stemmed Double Daffodil 'Sir Winston Churchill' which is often grown for cutting, thanks to its pretty ruffled, multi-headed blooms.
Strong, thick stems mean that narcissus ‘Sir Winston Churchill’ stays aloft in the border, even on windy spring days and has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS thanks to its reliable garden performance and desirable looks.
Ivory petals bear flashes of gold and open up in layers to reveal the neat, fully double flowers in April.
Plant in large groups and swathes through the border for the most impact.

Avalanche
N0511
The strong, upright stems of Tazetta Narcissi ‘Avalanche’ carry a remarkable plethora of blooms – up to 20 flowers are held in generous clusters on each stem. Broad, milk-white petals encompass a dinky, buttercup-yellow, acorn-shaped cup. This cultivar bears a well-deserved RHS Award of Garden Merit, confirming its exceptional quality.
Heighten the extraordinary fragrance of tazetta narcissus ‘Avalanche’ by planting in swathes amongst borders, lawns, and rockeries, and in pots against a sunny wall. This Tazetta variety responds equally well to indoor growing – try forcing bulbs in bowls to bring spring joy even when the weather outdoors is not so tempting.
