"Spring is Nature’s Way of Saying, 'Let’s Party!'" - Robin Williams Spring is springing! It may not feel it right now, but as the days grow warmer and longer, nature wakes up from its winter slumber, bursting forth with life and colour. This magical transformation is fuelled by ‘vernalisation’ - the process where winter's cold temperatures trigger plants to germinate and bloom in spring. Spring bulb displays in garden centres offer fresh and vibrant inspiration as customers look to brighten their homes and gardens. Our perennial spring bulbs reward gardeners with vivid colours and dazzling displays year after year, requiring virtually no maintenance. Spring bulbs thrive in garden borders, pots, wild areas and even naturalised in lawns—perfect for any space. Customers can find everything they need at their local garden centre to help create a beautiful spring container, or garden display, of their own. Spring bulbs are a lifeline for pollinators like bees and butterflies emerging from winter. By planting bulbs, we are boosting biodiversity and supporting essential pollinators. Plant now and enjoy a garden that parties all season long!

The British Native Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) brings the ultimate springtime vibe to the UK’s gardens and woodlands. Its delicate bell-shaped flowers, create a spring carpet of blue in woodlands across the country. Bluebells are one of the UK’s iconic plants; in fact more than half of the world’s population of these blue beauties are grown in the UK. Bluebells have captivated poets and artists for centuries; giving inspiration to legendary poet Oscar Wilde and famous artist William Morris - in 1876 Morris created one of his most popular fabric designs ‘Bluebell’ which is still produced by Morris & Co today. But they’re not just for woodlands, Native Bluebells are perfect for UK gardens too, thriving in well-drained soil with some shade (think under shrubs or trees). Once established they will spread readily creating a blanket of blue and giving a sweet scent.
