Planting 'bulbs in the green' ensures quick establishment in any soil, making them an ideal choice for your garden. The reason these plants grow faster than traditional bulbs is due to them being lifted and then supplied whilst they are still active and either in flower or leaf. This makes them much stronger the following year.

This method of collecting the bulbs whilst they are growing is highly popular as the plants need not work as hard to flourish. Choose a large number of bulbs in the green to plant en masse for a wonderful white and green sea of colour. Our bulbs are responsibly sourced and are not collected from the wild.
