Using gloves, plant the bulbs pointy side up at a depth of 15cms and spaced 10-15cms apart.

If you are leaving them in the ground year round, planting deeply will ensure they are not too disturbed when planting other items.

If your soil is on the heavy side, incorporate some sharp grit to the mix.

Place the bulbs in groups (3’s, 5’s or 7’s) rather than singly dotted around the garden as this will enhance the heady fragrance once the blooms are fully open.

After you have planted the bulbs and covered them with earth, give them an extra layer of organic mulch or rotted leaf mould.

Once the flowers have faded in spring, cut back the flower stalks but allow the leaves to die back naturally.

If ordered with plants we will normally dispatch flower bulbs with your plant order during your first requested dispatch week. If you would prefer your flower bulbs to be dispatched separately (within three - four working days of ordering) please tick the “please dispatch this item separately” box on the shopping basket page. (an extra charge of £1.50 per item applies) PLEASE NOTE - these are dispatched from September onward, if you have plants for delivery before this these will arrive on a later date.

If you are not ordering any plants we will dispatch these from September onward. Delivery is normally made within 2-3 working days from dispatch. You will receive an email when we have dispatched your item/s.
