Get your bulb catalogues out and select your planting scheme for a glorious display next spring. Plant some bulbs just to cut for indoor flowers – the bunches will be superior to those you will pay na fortune for in the shops next year and you have the fun of growing your own.<\/p>\n

I have planted some smaller bulbs around my rockery for spring flowers.<\/p>\n

Selection by Height <\/strong>
\n‘Crocus Whitewell Purple’ <\/em> are early flowering with 6 purple petals that open almost flat to display their attractive yellow stamen. They grow 3″ tall.
\nNarcissus Canaliculatus<\/em> are multiheaded 4″ high flowers with white petals and yellow trumpets. They do not like dry soil.
\nFor a dry spot I have planted a bulb new to me Ipheion Uniflorum<\/em>. This has fragrant lilac-blue star shaped flowers 6″ tall.
\nNarcissus tazetta variety Cragford<\/strong> has been planted in pots and near some new rocks I have just put in place. Again these narcissus do not like dry soil.
\nMiniature daffodils<\/strong> our top ten varieties<\/a>
\nI wpould also be keen on some more botanic tulips<\/a>
\nI have also topped up the quantity of my Iris Reticulata<\/em> bulbs
