Bulb Spring Bonanza

Enjoy a beautiful bonanza of bulbs this spring! This collection of six different bulb varieties will have your garden springing into life after the winter gloom. The eager anticipation of spring colour, as bulbs push through the soil in late winter, is one of the great joys of the garden year. Not only are these bulbs beautiful, but they are also perennial, providing you with uplifting colour not just this spring but for many springs to come. This versatile selection includes bulbs which will perform superbly in containers, borders and naturalised in grass.

Bulb Spring Bonanza contains 187 bulbs, comprising the following varieties:
