Experience a Burst of Summer Blooms

Create a show-stopping summer display with a carefully chosen mix of bulbs that layer height, colour and texture across the season. This collection is designed to deliver continuous colour, simple care and dramatic impact in borders, containers and rockeries.

What's Included

• Gladioli mixed: Tall, eye-catching spikes that add backbone and theatre to summer borders and patio displays.
• Allium moly: Bright golden clusters that bring pollinators and warm highlights to planting schemes.
• Oxalis tetraphylla 'Iron Cross': Low, clover-like foliage topped by rose-pink trumpets to fill gaps and soften edges.
• Brodiaea 'Queen Fabiola': Compact violet-blue stars perfect for edging, troughs or the front of beds.
• Acidanthera (gladiolus murielae): Elegant white, scented blooms that add a refined contrast and height.

Care Instructions

These bulbs are low-effort but rewarding. Plant in the recommended months, give them a sunny or lightly shaded spot, and avoid heavy, waterlogged soil for best results.

• Planting window: January to April is ideal for strong root establishment.
• Light: Best in sun or light shade; aim for at least half a day of sun.
• Soil and watering: Use well-drained soil or loam-based compost for containers; water regularly but do not let roots sit in water.
• Depth & spacing: Plant bulbs roughly three times their height deep for steady growth and sturdy stems.

Maintenance & Aftercare

• Deadhead to prolong flowering and keep beds tidy.
• Allow foliage to die back naturally in late summer to feed next year’s bulbs.
• Apply a balanced granular feed in late winter to boost next season’s performance.

Design Tips & Companion Planting

Use height and colour to create instant structure: place tall gladioli to the rear, mid-height accents in the middle and low growers on the edge.

• Pair with ornamental grasses, dahlias or rudbeckia for layered, long-lasting borders.
• Plant in alpine troughs or rockeries with sedums and low thymes for contrasting textures.
• Edge beds with brodiaea and oxalis to create a full, tiered effect as blooms appear.
