Description

A dreamy combination of blue and white blooms is sure to do any gardener proud, and knowing which plants to combine is quite an art. Ideally, you’d like to see both your blue and white plants flowering at their best at around about the same time. Instead of attempting to achieve this alchemy through a process of trial and error, make use of the experience of master growers for a tried and tested success first time round with the Sir Bobby Collection. This charming combination of Muscari armeniacum (grape hyacinths bulbs) and white Anemones will be as suitable for a country-style garden as a formal one. Plant them with every expectation of success; you will not be disappointed! Perfect for mass plantings!

Each Sir Bobby Collection package contains:

  • 25 x Anemone 'White Splendour' bulbs
  • 25 x Muscari armeniacum bulbs

Needless to say, all bulbs are top-size for an optimal performance.
