Every so often, something really special comes along – and we think that Nectaroscordium tripedale is this season’s jewel in the crown. Far more floriferous than it’s cousin siculum, the eye catching flowerheads of this variety are packed with a profusion of tumbling, pendulous bells. Rose-pink and white stripes on the petals give a candy cane effect – but the look is kept from being too saccharine, with a splash of vivid green in the centre and shapely pointed petals giving these flowers an injection of serious style!
Elegantly rising above the melee of your summer borders, at over a metre in height – these stately blooms will provide a perfect combination of sweet and striking, to charm the eye and draw admiring looks from any visitor to the garden.
Nectaroscordium tripedale is highly exclusive, and stocks are limited – so place your order now, to secure its appearance as the crowning glory of your early summer display!

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, two to three times their own height deep. A slightly flattened side is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
Space small bulbs around 5cm apart. Larger bulbs need more room, generally around twice their own width apart, so their foliage and flowers can develop freely.
Water after planting if the soil is dry, then only when needed. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally. Decorative seedheads can remain in place.
