Four new daffodils to plant this autumn
Daffodils are the quintessential spring bulb and you can start planting them out as early as August. Here are four brand new releases that are worth special mention. Our full range of daffodils contains more than 70 different varieties, so there’s something for everyone.
Daffodil ‘Ice Baby’ features star-shaped blooms that shift from soft cream to crisp greenish-white. Its flowers release a gentle fragrance that makes it ideal for planting near high traffic areas and doorways. At just 20cm, this mini variety fits neatly into rockeries & small containers.
2. Daffodil ‘Most Scented Mix’
Narcissus ‘Most Scented Mix’ is a new collection of seven distinct daffodil varieties that have been specifically selected for high aroma. The mix features single, double and multi-headed flowers that look wonderful in borders, patio containers and naturalised drifts across lawns. Enjoy longer by forcing them to bloom early indoors.
Daffodil ‘Bridal Crown’ produces clusters of richly layered double blooms, with creamy-white petals and warm apricot-yellow centres. This mid-to-late spring bloomer has a sweet fragrance and an RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Daffodil ‘Giant Mix’ is a generous collection of large-flowered varieties like ‘Watch Up’, ‘Chromacolor’, and ‘Arkle’ – some of the biggest daffodils you can grow. The creamy-white and golden-yellow petals provide a glorious early-season display, especially when planted in drifts in the lawn. The long stems make them ideal for cutting.
Four new tulips to transform your spring borders
You can plant tulips from September to December, but November is the ideal month to get your bulbs in the ground. Try these four brand new varieties to add some magic to your spring display…
1. Tulip ‘Dreamer’
If you didn’t know this was a tulip, you could mistake it for a peony! Tulip ‘Dreamer’ produces blush-pink double blooms that add cottage-garden-style romance to any garden. Each compact stem carries at least 2 large flowers, and the soft pastel-coloured petals combine beautifully with muscari & forget-me-nots.
Tulip ‘Giant Phoenix Mix’ combines the cultivars ‘Yellow Phoenix Memory’ and ‘Phoenix Memory’ for a high-impact red and yellow display. The giant petals feature dramatic ruffled edges that add movement, energy and texture to borders and containers. For maximum impact, plant them en masse.
3. Tulip ‘Ile d’Amour’
Tulip ‘Ile d’Amour’ produces tall, double cardinal-red blooms featuring distinctive green streaks on the outer petals. Its strong, upright stems withstand spring weather while the classic cup-shaped form provides excellent structure for cut floral displays. Plant in tight groups or sweeping drifts.
Tulip ‘In My Heart’ produces compact, double crimson blooms filled with densely layered, crimped petals that resemble a rose. Blazing red, this sumptuous tulip makes a powerful statement in the garden or a vase.
