Multiflowering Tulip Night Club

Also known as ‘wand flowers’, Ixia ‘Giant’ brings a magical touch with clusters of twinkling, starry, ivory-white flowers embellished with purple-maroon hearts. As its name suggests, this variety bears particularly sizeable blooms on tall stems.

Native to South Africa, these tender corms are gratifying and easy to grow – simply offer protection from frost and plant on free-draining soil in plenty of sunshine.

Ixia ‘Giant’ is ideal for patio planters, where the pretty blooms can be admired up close and moved to a sheltered location over winter. Renowned for their superiority as cut flowers, Ixia have an excellent vase life for delightful floral arrangements.

Muscari Comosum produces unusual flower spikes with distinctive urn-shaped lower blooms topped by wiry purple tufts, creating a wonderfully textured and architectural display in late spring and early summer. The airy stems of Muscari Comosum bring movement and natural charm to gravel gardens, wildflower-style planting, and sunny borders, especially when planted in generous drifts.

Flowering through May and June, this distinctive variety thrives in dry, well-drained soil and sunny positions where it will gradually naturalise and multiply undisturbed. Ideal for adding contrast and a more relaxed, natural feel to seasonal planting schemes.

Perfect, star-shaped flowers of pure white are produced in abundance on Ipheion ‘Alberto Castillo’ during May and June, with a second flush of flowers in autumn.

The bulbs of this early summer beauty should be planted in autumn, in groups or ribbons near the front of the border, in a rockery, or in containers of loam-based compost. Ipheion prefer full sun and well-drained soil.

Elegant, wiry stems up to 20cm tall hold the exquisite, sweetly scented flowers above clumps of glaucous foliage.

Ipheion ‘Alberto Castillo’ holds a prestigious Award of Garden Merit for plant excellence and reliability.
