The first flower of the year
It's a sure sign that spring is on its way when these dainty little beauties appear. Ideal for naturalising, and also for cutting. Flowers February-March. Height 10cm. Bulb size 5/6cm. (Bulb sizes quoted in centimetres refer to the circumference of bulbs.)
Naturalising bulbs is growing enormously in popularity, and the range of varieties that people are trying is broadening. You may think of ‘naturalising’ as growing bulbs in the lawn, but it’s equally applicable to growing them in a way where you leave them to their own devises to spread and seed themselves under trees or shrubs or in a woodland setting. If you do grow them in a lawn, just remember to allow plant leaves to die down for at least 6 weeks after they finish flowering.
