Erythronium Dens Canis Purple King
M5343
Description
A bewitching spring bloom, better known as the Dog’s Tooth Violet, Erythronium ‘Dens Canis Purple King’ will bring sweetness and charm to shady areas of your garden during March and April.
Nodding, cyclamen-purple flowers, on stems up to 10cm tall bloom from a rosette of broad, heavily mottled leaves. Erythronium Dens Canis Purple King's elegant petals recurve gracefully, exposing long stamens with purple-tipped anthers.
These fascinating perennials are invaluable for adding intrigue and interest to bare corners of the garden. Plant the bulbs, shaped like canine teeth, in groups under the dappled shade of mature trees or shrubs where they will settle and multiply over the years.
Care Guide
An excellent plant for the shady rockery or round the base of trees.
They are not difficult to grow but they must not dry out between lifting or purchase, and planting. Plant 5-8 cm deep, 5-10 cm apart.

Species Mix
T1023
Like a pick and mix of all your favourite sweeties, our ‘Species Tulip Mix’ is a specially chosen combination of elegant varieties to fill your garden with early colour. Comprising a careful selection of favourites, blooms will appear consecutively, overlapping in complimentary bright shades.
These animated tulips open agreeably in the daylight and tuck themselves back into a bud at night. This assortment is the perfect, no-hassle solution to creating bold flushes of flowers in containers, rockeries, borders, and lawns. Species tulips are truly perennial and happy to naturalise: given room to roam, these will spread to form sweeping drifts of radiant colour.

Purple Dream
T1765
Tulip ‘Purple Dream’ is a truly regal tulip with tall, elegant violet blooms. The opulent purple flowers are tapered and slim with pointed petals which open up as the blooms age and unfold, basking in the late spring sunshine.
Excellent for cutting thanks to strong stems which can easily withstand wind and rain. For a contemporary and vibrant late spring show, combine lily-flowering tulip 'Purple Dream' with punchy orange shades in the garden such as paeony-tulip ‘Orange Princess’ and parrot tulip ‘Amazing Parrot’.

Turkestanica
T1011
Bearing an astounding 9 or more snow-white flowers per bulb, Tulip Species ‘Turkestanica’ boasts a dramatic, densely packed display. A buttercup yellow core glows beside the surrounding, immaculate white petals which feature a green and bronze flush to the exterior. A supremely elegant heirloom tulip for incorporating into containers, rockeries, borders, and lawns.
This is the ultimate variety for naturalising into drifts of dancing blooms. Particularly remarkable for its equally attractive seed-heads, which scatter freely to expand the show even further. The RHS has conferred an Award of Garden Merit upon tulipa ‘Turkestanica’ in acknowledgement of the reliability it offers in the garden.
