The March Bank is at its peak with millions of scilla and glory-of-the-snow in full bloom. |
Plant tulip White Parrot at the bottom for a frilly white display in May, combined with blue hyacinth in the middle with a mix of muscari or scilla on top. |
Bulbs to plant now include anemone, crocus, daffodil, Dutch iris, freesia, homeria, ixia, leucojum, lycoris, oxalis, ranunculus, scilla, sparaxis, tritonia, and watsonia. |
Pint-sized blue scilla siberica can be planted around the base of deciduous shrubs. |
Many blue bulbs, chionodoxa and scilla, are perfect partners and can be encouraged to naturalise by allowing seedheads to form and scatter their seed willy-nilly. |
Good specimens for naturalising in grass include crocus, narcissi, muscari, camassia, erythronium, snowdrops, scilla and ornithogalum. |
