Bulbs, or "hidden treasure", as they’re often called, hibernate happily below the soil until their time to shine arrives. There are bulbs for every season, all of them pick well with a long vase life, and many of them are well scented. Poets have been inspired to write about the daffodils in spring, which just wouldn’t be the same without them, along with tulips and peonies. Lilies take centre stage in summer with the deliciously scented Christmas Lilies which last so well, along with gladioli with their tall majestic spires. Bulb is a general term including corms and tubers but they’re all easy to grow, just needing plenty of sun and good drainage. Best of all is the bonus of bulbs multiplying over the years, plants for free!
