Sunset Bulb Collection

Pretty coloured petals of yellow, orange and pinky-red, evocative of glorious sunsets at home and abroad, are just the thing to brighten up your garden in spring after the long months of winter dormancy. These radiant blooms will look fabulous in beds, borders and patio pots, creating a glowing scene as your garden bursts into life from March to May.

The low-growing habit of the crocus and the mid-height tulips make them a perfect choice for rock and gravel gardens – or plant any of these bulbs in drifts or clumps through grass, where they will naturalise easily and come back with bigger and better displays each year. For a natural look, throw handfuls of bulbs onto the ground and plant them where they fall.

What’s more – you will have tulips and daffodils a plenty for your vase, to herald the arrival of spring with vibrant displays in your home.

Growing to different heights, from 10cm to 40cm, this versatile collection of 65 spring-flowering bulbs includes:

Tulips ‘Quebec’ x 15 bulbs (size 10/11) – A multi-flowering variety, ‘Quebec’ rewards with 3-5 flowers per bulb.
