Wild Flower Bulbs

We supply British Wild Flower Bulbs in two different ways. During the autumn we supply dormant Bulbs and in late winter/spring we supply bulbs 'In the Green'.  

'In the Green' Bulbs are lifted in late winter/spring when the bulb is actively growing, in flower or after flowering when they are beginning to die back. The amount of leaf or root growing from the bulb will be dependant on the species and the time it is sent out. 'In the Green' bulbs are freshly lifted to order, so please allow a little longer for delivery. The plants will be sent out from late January/early February onwards depending upon the weather conditions and the varieties ordered. Orders for 'in the green' bulbs will be taken all year although dispatch will not begin until late January/early February. The lifting season is normally finished by April. We will complete orders in the order we receive them.
Dormant Bulbs (or corms, tubers or rhizomes) are dormant and are usually sent out from September through to November. They are without roots and leaves although some may begin to sprout as the season progresses. Orders for dormant bulbs will be taken all year round although dispatch will not begin until late August/early September and the season is normally finished by November/December depending upon the variety and stock availability. Certain bulbs, such as Wild Daffodils, are usually in short supply, so please order as early as possible, as we supply the earliest orders first.
