Bulbs native to the British Isles and other bulbs and plants for naturalising

wild flowersWild flower gardening has become increasingly popular, with more people interested in growing our own very beautiful native plants. They are being recognised as a great resource for all parts of the garden, and not just the 'wild' garden, although this is deservedly getting increasing attention. With hedgerows, woodland and hay meadows continually disappearing under the onslaught of construction and modern farming methods, the sight of our native flowers is fast becoming a memory to many people.
Please note: bulbs and plants are despatched when ready to plant. Bulbs are despatched from August to October with some exceptions which are indicated. We send some bulbs 'in the green' in spring Plants are sent either in the Autumn (August - October) or in Spring (February-April)

Native Bulbs

bluebell, campion and stitchwort Including: Native Bluebell, Wild Daffodil, Snakes Head Fritillary, Wild Tulip, Wood Anemone
We have been growing native bulbs on our Welsh smallholding since 1986, and can guarantee that none of our bulbs have been taken from the wild. Most of them are easy to grow and will increase readily when given the appropriate conditions. All bulbs are mature and of flowering size.

Other bulbs for Naturalising

Many non-native hardy bulbs can be used for naturalising in woodland and meadow. Varieties of daffodil (the two native species are included under Native Bulbs), squills and crocus are prime examples. There are also other species from different temperate regions that can also be established as mass planting or in groups.

Other Perennials for Naturalising

Native Perennials;Non-Native Perennials; Ferns

To compliment our bulbs we grow some other native perennials for woodland, wetland and meadow situations. Being native, and therefore hardy, they will naturalise and spread given conditions they like.
For several years now we have been building up stocks of a range of other perennials that do equally well in our woodland and wetland as well as ferns both native and exotic. All plants despatched are fully grown stock.

AGM

We have indicated all the plants on our list that have the Award of Garden Merit. This award is given to plants by the Royal Horticultural Society on various criteria, including outstanding excellence for garden decoration. Many of our native bulbs and plants have the AGM. The full list of criteria for the AGM is given in the RHS Plantfinder and on the RHS website (www.rhs.org.uk).

Gift Vouchers

Bulbs and plants make excellent gifts but are only available at certain times of the year! For a small extra fee of £1.50 we will send an attractive gift token for either bulbs or plants, or credit, so the recipient can choose for themselves. Please phone or email to order a Gift Voucher.
