Planning Bulbs for Summer

Bulbs to order now to get in the ground for summer blooms....

Gladiolus always seems to get a bad rap, but i think like the Dahlia which is now so trendy, the humble glad is ready for a moment.

I always have them in the borders, their strong vertical structure always helps lift the garden. Last year i trialed a dwarf variety and the hybrid varieties that are a little hardier. I never lift them and some always seem to last and come back

Toad lilly

Rasberry Mousse toad lilly - was there ever such a wonderful name for a plant, its like something out of wind in the willows

Liatris Spicata
