A wild relative of Chives, Wild Garlic (or Ramsons) grows from a small bulb and often spreads to form large clumps. It can be found in damp woods, scrub, hedges and on shady banks, where its garlicky aroma will fill the air. The leaves are edible but have a surprisingly mild flavour. This is an excellent plant for ground cover in a wet corner of the garden. Our Wild Garlic bulbs are UK Native.

The round-headed leek has small underground bulbs (to about 2.5 cm in diameter). It’s found throughout Europe as far east as the Ukraine, southern European Russia and the northern Caucasus but not in Scandinavia. It is also found in the Canary Islands, North Africa, many Mediterranean islands and north-western, western and southern Turkey, as well as Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Kuwait. These particular bulbs are cultivated in Holland.

It is native to Europe, but in many places, including France, Slovenia and Romania it is an endangered species that is rarely found in the wild, but is common in horticulturists' gardens. Pretty, pendent, white bells on slender stems emerge in April and May. These delightful wildflowers were once widespread throughout the UK, and are perfect for naturalising in a moist woodland edge or wildflower garden. It's essential to select a site where the soil remains moist in spring. These particular bulbs are sourced from Holland and Turkey.

The Spring Snowflake is very similar to The Summer Snowflake (Leucojum aestivum) but with solitary scented flowers which drop pollen on the slightest impact. The flowers are pollinated by bees. Spring snowflake has a delicate and bell-like, white flower with a green spot on each petal. Like the snowdrop, both snowflake species are members of the lily family. These single flowers terminate the long bright green stems and are produced from February to April. Try it on moist ground in semi-shade. This is a good early source of nectar and pollen for bees. These particular bulbs are imported.

The Summer Snowflake or Loddon Lily (from the River Loddon in Berkshire) is a tall and an especially beautiful member of this varied family. The large and pure-white flowers appear in late spring, and are bell-like with a green spot near tips of petals. This hardy bulb has linear basal leaves which are bright green. Confined to wet meadows or marshy ground as a possible native flower (although not recorded as growing in the wild until the eighteenth century) it is also now widely naturalised and grown in gardens. This is a very suitable plant for the margin of a pond or a moist rockery.  These particular bulbs are imported.
