Description

Create a long season of colour with one easy pack of 50 dormant summer-flowering bulbs/corms/tubers. This mixed collection is designed for borders and patio containers, giving you a blend of tall spires and shorter, rose-like blooms. Plant in spring and enjoy flowers across late spring through summer (timing varies by bulb type and planting date). Ideal for adding colour to sunny spots and for cutting fresh stems for indoor vases. Bulbs are supplied dormant and will start into growth when planted into warming soil. Shades and varieties may vary within the mixed colour theme.

Pollinator-friendly note: When flowers are open, single blooms can provide nectar and pollen for bees and other pollinating insects. Very double, heavily petalled forms usually offer less accessible nectar/pollen.

Companion planting ideas (bulbs that pair well): Try planting alongside Crocosmia for fiery late-summer colour, Liatris spicata for vertical accents and butterflies, Dahlias for long flowering, or Triteleia for airy blue tones. These combinations help extend the season and add contrasting shapes.

Planting Guide (simple steps)

1. Unpack on arrival and store cool, dry and airy until planting.
2. Choose a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil (or use pots with free-draining compost).
3. Pre-soak: Soak Ranunculus tubers for few hours; soak Anemone corms overnight to rehydrate.
4. Planting depths (guide):
   • Gladiolus: 10–15cm deep, 10–15cm apart
   • Freesia: about 5cm deep
   • Ranunculus: about 5cm deep, “claws” facing down
   • Anemone de Caen: about 8cm deep, 10–15cm apart
5. Water after planting, then keep lightly moist (not waterlogged) as growth appears.
6. Support taller stems if needed and feed during bud formation for best flowering.
7. In colder areas, protect tender types from frost and consider lifting/storing after the season.

Good to know

• Gladiolus grow from corms (often called bulbs) and look best planted in groups.
• Ranunculus are famous “wedding-style” blooms and are excellent for cutting.
• Freesias are valued for their fragrance and can do well in pots.
• Anemone de Caen are often called florist anemones because they are popular as cut flowers.
