Bulbs to Plant in March

With Spring fast approaching, it’s finally coming up to the time when we can start to enjoy getting out in the garden again! With Daffodils now starting to show their cheery faces, we can enjoy the beauty of spring and start prepping the garden for summer.

Lilies

Our lily bulbs produce large, showy and exotic blooms throughout summer months. These easy to grow bulbs can be planted up until May and will naturalise annually for continued pleasure. They're great for cutting and displaying in vases too - a cost effective way of having bouquets that you grow yourself.

Roses


Bare rooted roses can still be planted from now until May. This is because they're best grown while they're dormant throughout winter, as long as the ground isn't frozen. These much-loved flowers add ornamental value to the garden and make stunning cut flowers. They're also perfect for cottage gardens, informal gardens, summer displays, or any display for that matter!

Perennial plants are the backbone of nearly every flower garden. Perennials are plants that flower each year when planted in top conditions. You can shop and plant them out from March-May to brighten up the garden year after year.
