Top size bulbs for bigger flowers
Easy to grow
Tried & tested by the team
Like miniature spring anemones crossed with water lilies
Certain bulbs do better planted in the green, rather than in their dormant state. It's like lifting a clump from your own garden, and very quickly they settle in and will start to flower from next year on.
After three years you can then lift and divide your own and scatter them right through your garden, one bulb about 15cm (6in) from the next.

Care Tips
They dislike root disturbance and, left alone, will gradually form a late winter and spring carpet under trees and shrubs. They die down and disappear by summer. If you do decide to lift and divide it is best done soon after flowering.
