More Details
A collection of favourite bulbs to plant in layers for a succession of beautiful flowers.
This collection contains:- 20 or 40 bulbs of Iris reticulata 'Purple Hill'
- 5 or 10 bulbs of Narcissus 'W. P. Milner'
- 10 or 15 bulbs of Tulip 'Merlot'
To get dense and flowery potfuls, try planting your bulbs in layers in a bulb lasagne, layering them one on top of another. The largest and latest flowering goes in deepest, moving to the smallest and earliest in the top layer. The emergent shoots of the lower level just bend round anything they hit sitting over their heads and keep on growing.
Iris histriodes 'George' is not available this year. We have replaced it in this collection with Iris 'Purple Hill', which has a very similar appearance and habit.This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive hessian sack, with ribbon and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.
Please note: only items which are showing ‘in stock’ can be gift wrapped.

Reviewed 29th June 2019 by Anna Again, I think the weather did them no favours - much like the other collection they didn't come up well and what did come up didn't last as expected. |
