More and More
N0478
This aptly named little live-wire just keeps on giving: Jonquilla Narcissi ‘More and More’ produces masses of button-like blooms, flowering for longer than any other. Highly productive despite its petite stature, multiple heads are borne on each stem for an impressive, floriferous show. This hard-working, fantastically fragrant narcissus is especially suited to animating rockeries, dotting along pathways, edging borders, and brightening pots.
Continuing to flower after most other daffodils have petered out, narcissus ‘More and More’ then seamlessly passes the baton on to the tulips as the season continues. Its slender, chive-like foliage fades subtly, ready to reappear the following year.

Ret. Clairette
M5440
Iris species reticulata Clairette is a charming dwarf Iris which looks like hand-painted Delftware, with neat brushstrokes of deep cobalt, soft lilac-blue and white.
These distinctive spring plants are perfect for filling containers with early colour and are great for rockeries and alpine gardens, thriving in any neutral soil which is well-drained.
The pretty patterned flowers of Iris Clairette bloom during February and March and look most striking in groups. Plant the bulbs where you will appreciate their fleeting beauty up close and ensure they are not overshadowed or smothered by larger plants. If planting in pots, use the containers to adorn a doorway, or raise them onto a garden table for enjoyment.
