Fragrant Flower Bulbs

There is nothing better than the rich, heady scent of hyacinth or the sweet fragrance of crocus, daffodil, tulip and muscari bulbs to enliven the senses! By combining these beautifully scented bulbs in large drifts (for informal style gardens) or rows (for more formal planting schemes) you can bolster the fragrance all the more. Hyacinths are well-loved for their richly perfumed, single or double flowers, which may be held in loose of dense racemes. They’re available in a range of vibrant and pastel colours from bright pink to soft blue and particularly popular for growing outdoors in containers or forcing indoors to flower in time for Christmas. Crocus are another delightfully fragrant bulb available in both spring and autumn flowering varieties. Crocus flowers will bring the first flush of colour to your garden in early spring. They’re effective planted in the border, containers and particularly well suited to naturalising grassed areas. Alternatively, choose Muscari for blue, urn-shaped flowers resembling bunches of grapes in the spring.
