Our autumn planting bulbs will develop strong root systems over winter, ready to burst into bloom as early as February. They’re a great way to fill your garden with welcome colour as the seasons start to turn. Many varieties, such as crocuses and anemones, also provide crucial early food sources for native pollinators.

Flower bulbs are incredibly easy to grow and care for – the perfect solo or family gardening activity. Store your bulbs in a cool, dry place until planting time, then plant them with the growing tip facing up. Water them in, and nature will do the rest.

Our autumn planting bulbs include both hardy and half-hardy perennials, allowing you to create easy seasonal displays. For further choice, we also offer a wide range of garden-ready autumn bedding plants.

Planting Bulbs

If not planted at once, store bulbs in a cool, dry place until planting time. While successful in a very wide range of soils, most bulbs are intolerant of poor drainage so, if your soil is heavy, also dig in plenty of sharp sand or horticultural grit. For planting in containers, use general purpose compost unless otherwise stated. Bulbs are usually most effective when planted in groups. Always plant bulbs and corms with the pointed growing tip facing upwards. If unsure, face any hair like roots downwards.

CAUTION: Do not eat any of these bulbs and keep out of reach of children. Contact with all parts of Allium, Narcissus and Tulip may cause skin or eye irritation and all parts of Tulip may cause severe discomfort if ingested.
