Description
The early to mid-spring ‘Feed the Pollinators’ collection features nectar rich bloomers that are hardy, tough and beautiful. You can expect to find:
Eranthis Cilicica, commonly known as Winter Aconite, and Crocus ‘Snowstorm’ are among the first blooms of spring. Don’t be fooled by their smaller size, these blooms provide an important food source for pollinators when not much else is available, standing up to unpredictable weather conditions.
Botanical Tulip ‘Praestans Shogun’ is a multi-flowering tulip producing three to four brilliant orange yellow blooms per stem.
Yellow Narcissi completes the collection with long-lasting golden yellow trumpet blooms. It’s known that bees land on spring flowers with the highest sugar content, and the large yellow trumpets protect the nectar from wind and rain. Easy to naturalize, plant the bulbs in this collection once and leave them in the ground – you’ll be rewarded year after year with a growing tapestry of blooms.
Bulbs require well drained soil. Will not perform well if soil holds too much water. Add sand or grit to the bottom of the hole to improve drainage.
