Gardening may be the only hobby where forgetting improves the result.

Garden centres make money from plants demanding attention. Gardeners build gardens with plants earning trust. Few visitors ever ask about Ipheions, yet everyone notices when they bloom. Under shrubs. Along paths. Between larger bulbs. Places carrying little expectation until one early May morning every gap fills with colourful star-shaped flowers. No staking. No lifting. No annual debate over whether another plant deserves space…and each year brings more flowers than the last.

This collection, at an amazing price, gives you EIGHTY BULBS from four of the finest Ipheion varieties. You receive:

20 x Alberto Castillo bulbs (RHS AGM) - Perfect, star-shaped flowers of pure white are produced in abundance on Ipheion ‘Alberto Castillo’ during late spring, with a second flush of flowers in autumn. Elegant, wiry stems up to 20 cm tall hold the exquisite, sweetly scented flowers above clumps of glaucous foliage. Ipheion ‘Alberto Castillo’ holds a prestigious RHS Recommended Award of Garden Merit for plant excellence and reliability.

20 x Charlotte Bishop bulbs - An abundance of lavender-pink, star-shaped blooms come into their own in May and June on Ipheion ‘Charlotte Bishop’ adding fragrance and colour to the early summer garden. Delicate petals fade towards the flower centre and carry a darker central stripe, leading to a pollen-rich heart which is loved by bees and summer pollinators. Native to Argentina and known as the Spring Starflower, Ipheion ‘Charlotte Bishop’ are fully hardy, and the bulbs will naturalise in moderately fertile, well-drained soil.

20 x Jessie - Petite Ipheion ‘Jessie’  bulbs Perfect for planting in drifts near the front of a border and for filling blank spaces in a rock garden for a serene drift of blue. The azure-blue, star-shaped flowers are painted with a darker stripe along the centre of each petal, and hold a golden, pollen-packed core. The blooms smell sweetly, especially on warm days, on stems reaching 10cm tall.

20 x Wisley Blue bulbs (RHS AGM) - Large, open-faced flowers of lilac-blue are produced in abundance on Ipheion ‘Uniflorum Wisley Blue.’ The petals are marked with a central violet-blue vein leading towards a flower centre which is rich in pollen and nectar. This delicate gem is perfect for studding the front of a border with colour and introducing a soft, whimsical look. Useful for adding interest in May and June when sometimes gaps between spring and summer plants can be evident. Ipheion ‘Uniflorum Wisley Blue is a holder of the prestigious RHS Recommended Award of Garden Merit.

Eighty opportunities for each May and June to look richer than the previous ones.

Perhaps gardening works like most parts of life. Results rarely come from spectacular decisions. Results come from sensible ones repeated across enough years.

Plant 10cm deep when they arrive in October. Happy in sun or light shade, returning with more flowers each year. Best planted in groups where each May adds another layer. One autumn planting. Years of late-spring and early-summer colour.

After planting you can forget them… but your garden won't.
