Multiflowering Tulip Georgette

The fluffy blooms of Double Daffodil ‘Rip van Winkle’ have been delighting gardeners and garden visitors with their tiny explosions of spring colour in rockeries, containers, and beds for well over 100 years.

The multi-petalled flowers appear early on, adding a welcome wave of sunshine to the garden once winter has passed. Bright yellow flowers are tinged fresh green as they open, and the short stem-length make this dainty daffodil 'Rip van Winkle' an excellent choice for the front of the border.

Pretty spring cups are creamy-yellow flushed apricot, with golden centres on Crocus chrysanthus ‘Romance’.

Inside each dainty flower is a cluster of powdery, sunshine yellow anthers – adored by bees and their pollinator friends who flock to feast on the nectar on bright days.

This delicate yellow Crocus Romance looks best when planted in pretty clusters, dotted through grass, rockeries, and borders to herald the beginning of spring in February and March.

Bulbs will naturalise easily and multiply below ground, creating a warm and welcoming display year after year without fail.  Plant alone or amongst other colourful Crocus for a vibrant spring show.

Striking Crocus tommasinianus ‘Ruby Giant’ produces vivid ruby-purple cups during February and March each year.

This outstanding, early flowering Crocus bursts into bloom seemingly overnight, when the weather is still chilly in late winter.  The glorious flowers open up in bright sunshine and close up at night and during wet weather, protecting their precious golden stamens.

Wonderful for adding lively pops of colour at a time when the garden can be lacking in vibrance.

The bulbs can be planted in borders, rockeries and areas of open grass – fabulous in large drifts or patches.  Left undisturbed, Crocus tommasinianus Ruby Giant will naturalise easily in fertile well-drained soil, in a sunny spot in the garden.
