Cowanii
M5004
Fast becoming a florist favourite, Allium ‘Cowanii’ produces loose umbels of delicate white, star shaped blooms in May. The flowers also smell sweet, rather than oniony, as you might otherwise expect from a member of the Allium family.
Sometimes known as Allium Neapolitanum, this charming cultivar is easy to grow and looks best in snowy drifts, weaving through the front of a border where it will take your garden seamlessly from spring, into summer.
The bulbs of Allium ’Cowanii’ may also be grown in pots of fertile, very well-drained soil.
A space in full sun is best reserved for this pollinator-friendly spring gem.

Lividus
M5502
Helleborus ‘Lividus’ bears heavily laden clusters of elegant, cup-shaped blooms with cream-green petals suffused by dusky pink. The evergreen foliage is equally attractive, with blue-green, serrated leaves overlaid by an elaborate web of silver veining.
Thriving on slightly alkaline soils, this variety will benefit from some frost protection. Blooming from December to March, Helleborus ‘Lividus’ provide an invaluable source of nectar to early-flying pollinators and are recognised by the RHS in their ‘Plants for Pollinators’ scheme.
Watch with delight as bees giddily flit amongst the blooms on a sunny February day, before the rest of the garden has awoken.

Dutch Master
N0102
A flamboyant, fragrant beauty which has been gracing garden borders and announcing spring since 1938 - ‘Dutch Master’ is a multi-award-winning Daffodil for good reason, holding an Award of Garden merit from the RHS amongst its accolades.
Standing proud in the garden on long, strong stems, rich golden blooms feature a large, fluted central trumpet.
Large Trumpet Daffodil 'Dutch Master' naturalises beautifully in borders, containers, and grassy areas, adding a swathe of spring sunshine wherever these Narcissi bloom. Perfect for cutting and arranging. Snip when the blooms are half open for a long vase life and condition separately before adding to arrangements or bouquets.
