With a vase life of 10 days or more, I love the airy, mini agapanthus-like flowers of Triteleias, invaluable for the garden and vases in June and July. This gradually spreads and naturalises — we have it all around the edge of our fruit cage.

Easy and informative. Never bought from you before but my neighbour had and was always pleased with whatever she had bought, so I decided to try your products for my new garden. |

Reviewed 8th September 2019 by Beryl I really enjoy the whole Sarah Raven experience! I love to receive the catalogue and to be able to refer to it in the evenings. Her Plants and bulbs have always been a great addition to my garden. I like all the advice that comes with every purchase. The latest order for naturalising bulbs, some of it has been delivered already and the others will arrive as directed! |
