Autumn Flowering Bulbs – more info

For some eye-catching autumn colour there’s little to beat Crocosmia ‘Firestars Scorchio’ while the dainty flowers of cyclamen are perfect under trees and shrubs. Many can be grown in containers to bring late season colour to your patio.

Are there any autumn-flowering bulbs that make good houseplants?

Oxalis hirta ‘Gothenburg’ and Oxalis versicolor are both perfect for a windowsill indoors. An unusual half-hardy alpine, Oxalis versicolor resembles raspberry ripple, and makes an excellent addition to conservatories.

Can you grow autumn-flowering bulbs in shade?

Cyclamen hederifolium ‘Alba’ can be grown in shade and its white flowers will brighten a gloomy spot. The silver-streaked, heart-shaped leaves are an added bonus.

Which autumn-flowering bulbs are best in sun?

Nerine bowdenii ‘Isabel’ needs a sunny spot and free-draining soil. Its vibrant, deep pink flowers bloom through September, October and November bringing welcome interest to the garden as it transitions into winter.
