Which are the first spring bulbs to flower?

For the earliest flowers from spring bulbs, choose snowdrops, Cyclamen coum, Iris danfordiae and Narcissus ‘Cornish Treglisson’, which will all bloom from January. For indoor colour, choose one of our amaryllis varieties.

Which spring bulbs make the best cut flowers?

Daffodils (Narcissus) are some of the longest lasting cut flowers. Try our Double Classic Mixed pack for a beautiful collection of double flowers. Tulips are also good as cut flowers, or why not try ranunculus or alliums for something a bit different?

Are any spring bulbs scented?

Many daffodils have a lovely scent – our ‘Sweet Aroma Mixed’ is a collection of beautifully fragrant varieties. Tulip ‘Bronze Perfection’ not only has a stunning colour, it also has a lovely perfume. Hyacinths are loved for their knockout fragrance and English bluebells also have a glorious honey scent.

Which spring bulbs are best for pots and containers? 

For pots and containers, it’s best to choose shorter, more compact varieties that won't get blown over. Our Tulip 'Patio Mix' is specifically selected for this purpose. The classic miniature daffodil, Narcissus 'Tete-a-Tete', is another world-class choice for container gardening, while Muscari armeniacum (Grape Hyacinths) are perfect for smaller pots and for underplanting other bulbs.

Which spring bulbs are good for planting under trees? 

For those tricky shady spots under deciduous trees and shrubs, choose bulbs that thrive in woodland conditions. English Bluebells are a classic choice for creating a beautiful spring carpet of blue. You can also plant Galanthus (Snowdrops), which will flower early before the tree canopy fully leafs out and will spread over time.
