Nectaroscordum Siculum ssp. Bulgaricum
M5763
Description
Care Guide
Commonly known as Sicilian honey garlic, Nectaroscordum are closely related to Alliums and share many of the same qualities.
Perfect for naturalising in wild, nature-friendly gardens and grassy areas, these unique plants thrive in both sunny and shaded sites.
Plant the bulbs 10cm deep and 20-30 cm apart into any well-drained soil, ensuring the pointed ends face upward. Nectaroscordum can also be grown in containers with drainage holes – place the bulbs more closely together for a bountiful pot display.
Sturdy stems rise to heights of 85 cm in May and June, bearing umbels of dangling, bell-shaped blooms.

Cassiope
C2057
Elegant violet-blue petals sweep wide in autumn sunlight, each bloom of the autumn flowering crocus Speciosus Cassiope is crowned with bright saffron anthers.
Plant in dappled shade or beneath deciduous trees for naturalised success. Arriving just as other flowers fade, crocus Speciosus Cassiope creates a final flourish before winter’s hush. No foliage until spring—just flowers rising clean.
