- With this 100 mixed Summer bulb collection, you will receive easy to grow in the UK, mixed herbaceous perennials from the following varieties Acidanthera, Ixia, Sparaxis, Tigridia and Liatris. All varieties may not always be present in the mix, depending on time of year/availability at time of purchase. These upright growing plants are all loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies. With their varying height when planted together they will add interest to your garden during the Summer months of June to September.
- These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds and garden borders or also in patio pots to give colour to any mixed flower display. Further to this they are ideal for growing in coastal, cottage and low maintenance gardening schemes. Montbretia will continue to grow each year with little maintenance. These versatile Summer flowers can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden.
- If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
Full sun
Moderate watering
Plant these flowering bulbs during the Spring in fertile, well draining soil in full sun approximately 10 cm apart and at a depth, three to four times the size of the bulb. Please note that each variety of bulb will have its own planting depth. After planting, water well. Adding mulch, wood chips and organic matter to the planting area will increase soil drainage. After flowering, allow the foliage to die down completely.
