Fritillaria Meleagris Alba
M5402
Description
Fritillaria Meleagris Alba, with delicate, pristine white blossoms, evokes a sense of purity and tranquillity in any garden. Graceful bell-shaped flowers, speckled with subtle green veins, sway gently in the breeze, creating an ethereal display.
This vigorous grower thrives in moist, well-drained soil and dappled sunlight, adding a touch of elegance to shady borders and woodland settings. The understated beauty and reliable growth make Fritillaria Meleagris Alba a cherished addition for gardeners seeking a serene and enchanting landscape.
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.

Foxy Foxtrot
T1259
Named after a popular 1970s Dutch song about a beguiling dancer, you will be captivated by the mesmerising blooms of Early Double ‘Foxy Foxtrot’ as they waltz their way through spring. Featuring all the charm of its sister variety tulip ‘Foxtrot’, this sport brings a little more pizazz as its takes to the dancefloor of your garden.
Countless layers of petals reveal a breath-taking combination of colours, from pale lemon and honey-gold to apricot and tangerine. The sturdy, weatherproof stems hold up well in exposed positions, and the neat, compact habit is especially favourable for window boxes and container displays.

Hakuun
T1570
The pure petals of Darwin Tulip 'Hakuun’ – meaning ‘white cloud’ in Japanese – are reminiscent of pillowy, cumulus clouds billowing against a blue sky. Planted in blocks amongst borders and containers, this tulip creates a blanket of spotless, snow-white blooms which sparkle in the sun and gleam in the moonlight.
This impeccable variety, tulop 'Hakuun' boasts giant flower heads, perched on extraordinarily long stems, making for an exquisite cut flower. Reliably perennial, this Darwin Hybrid will re-emerge year after to grace your garden with its soft, pearlescent glow.
