'Garden Glee'
Unveil the vibrant charm of your garden this spring with our 'Garden Glee' spring bulb collection, a thoughtfully curated mix of blue glory-of-the-snow (Chionodoxa luciliae), pale yellow petticoat daffodils (Narcissus), two of grape hyacinth varieties (Muscari), and striking purple large-flowering crocuses (Crocus vernus). Create an awe-inspiring medley of colours and shapes that will bring unparalleled joy to your garden.
The 'Garden Glee' collection features the enchanting glory-of-the-snow, with its delicate blue star-shaped flowers that blanket your garden in a beautiful, celestial display. These early bloomers are the perfect heralds of spring, rising even as the last traces of winter fade away. Complementing this beauty, the grape hyacinths form elegant clusters, their bell-shaped blossoms adding texture and depth to the floral tapestry.
Adding a sunny burst of color to the mix, the pale yellow petticoat daffodils showcase their charming, bell-shaped blooms, echoing warmth and joy. Known for their resilience and beauty, these daffodils spread an ambiance of cheerfulness and light.
This delightful quartet is completed by the purple Crocus vernus, which dazzles with its vibrant, goblet-shaped flowers, standing as bold sentinels of spring. Their deep purple hue provides a striking contrast to the soft blues and cream.

Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Most spring bulbs also grow well in containers.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
