Spring Bulbs

English Bluebells are synonymous with the sights and smells of ancient English woodland, giving late Spring carpets of violet blue, bell-shaped flowers with a hint of fragrance. <h2>Why grow Bluebells?</h2> English Bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) produce swathes of colour up to heights of 12 inches, and will multiply rapidly year-on-year as they naturalise in their position, giving more and more pleasure as the seasons come and go. English Bluebells make excellent transition bulbs between the early Spring blooms and early Summer perennials, and are extremely attractive to bees, helping to create a healthy ecosystem in your garden. <h2>What varieties of Bluebells does Gee-Tee have?</h2> Browse our range of bluebell bulbs below, and filter by colour, height, flowering month and more.

Growing these dainty, star-shaped flowers is a child's play. Adapting to any soil and suitable for any area of your garden or pots they will re-appear year after year in early spring. Planting in large groups will give a bright display to gaps in borders. Chionodoxa are a most useful but very cost-effective plant.

There are few flowers that herald the onset of Spring as effectively as the vibrant, colorful Daffodil. Grown in large swaths, Daffodils can brighten up any garden setting, from pathways and beds to open areas, woodlands, pots and more. <h2>Why grow Daffodils?</h2> These hardy perennials bloom in late Winter to early Spring, and can tolerate a wide range of soils, although are best grown in moderately fertile, well-drained areas that remain moist during the growing season. You can extend the blooming period by planting different varieties including early bloomers like ‘Flower Carpet’, ‘Paperwhite’ and ‘Ice Follies’ which will be followed by late bloomers like ‘Acropolis’ and ‘Pink Select’. While some kinds of bulbs tend to dwindle and die out if left in the soil, daffodils should thrive and increase in density. After four to five years well-fed bulbs will have formed many new growth offsets. Lift these in early Summer when their foliage starts to yellow and divide the the offsets from the parent bulbs by prising them apart, and replanting immediately. <h2>What varieties of Daffodils does Gee-Tee have?</h2> At Gee Tee we offer both the smaller Dutch grown dwarf varieties as well as the popular large daffodils and narcissi, produced by local bulb growers here in Lincolnshire. Most of our range of large daffodils bulbs are available in 25Kg nets, so if you are in the trade we are able to send bulk quantities nationwide. However, if you are interested in the many wonderful varieties we have on offer, we also sell bulbs in packs of 50 using fully recyclable netting.

This is a large, hardy plant that's commonly known as the 'Foxtail Lily'. Eremurus produces a stately stem, displaying upright spikes of starry flowers, shoulder-high and above.

Hyacinths are an absolute early-Spring delight, with their elegant range of waxy, scented flower spikes adding swathes of colour perfect for garden planters, pots and cut flowers. Part of the lily family, the tubular flowers can be clustered together or mixed and layered with other varieties of flower to create dramatic displays. <h2>Why grow Hyacinths?</h2> Hyacinths are easy to grow, handle the colder conditions of early Spring well and don’t require much attention once in the ground. They thrive in neutral soils, and sunny to partially-shady spots where they are unaffected by dappled shade from overhanging trees. Hyacinths will re-bloom every season for three to four years, but can easily be propagated by lifting bulbs carefully in late Summer, removing excess offsets and replanting them in the following Autumn. <h2>What varieties of Hyacinth Bulbs does Gee-Tee have?</h2> We offer many different Hyacinth bulbs to suit your individual garden needs.

Our Iris bulbs fall into two categories; Specie Iris and Dutch Iris. Although clearly related, the two are rather different. Specie Iris are short, typically 10-15cm high, and will flower very early in the year, roughly around the same time as crocus and early daffodil varieties. There is a vast range of colours and shades all with the most exquisite detail. The blooms are a welcome addition to bare earth and they make a perfect pot specimen. Dutch Iris will bloom in early summer and can be half a meter high. They offer great value and will contribute to any flowerbed. Dutch Iris make an ideal cut flower favoured by florists all over the world.

Showing nodding, white bell-shaped flowers in the spring, you would be excused for thinking this was a very large snowdrop. However, Leucojum (also known as Summer Snowflakes) are taller and come much later with a distinctive bright green spot on the end of each petal. You should plant them in clumps in your garden or in grassland. If your soil is dry and sandy, digging leaf mould or compost into the ground to help maintain moisture would be beneficial.

A wonderful plant from the Allium family. You'll notice the similarity if you crush the foliage, which will then (and only then) give off a strong smell of garlic, just like other Alliums. The leafless stem stands tall to reveal bell-shaped flowers, striped in maroon and cream. Unusually, after fertilisation seedpods will form and the stem will stiffen and turn upright. They prefer sun or partial shade and will grow in any soil.

Scilla are definitely something a spring garden should not be without. The delightful little squills of blue in its erect stance make it impossible to resist. They will be happy in any well-drained soil and can divided easily after time to make further Scilla displays in the future.

Originating from Northwest America, these violet-blue clusters that appear at the top of a long, narrow stem will settle happily in an English garden. A pleasure in the early summer, you should plant these in well-drained soil with good light. Triteleia flowers are widely used in floristry.

There is sure to be a type of Anemone to suit your garden. Take a walk through any woodland in spring and you are likely to stumble across Anemone Nemerosa, also called the 'Wood Anemone' scattered amongst the trees in the dappled sunlight. These are supplied as rhizomes - a type of sprouting root - and prefer a cooler, shadier spot. Anemone Blanda, known as 'windflower' will open wide with the strength of the sun in your borders, and will be happy to rest there all summer. Arriving as corms - an underground stem - a good soak overnight before planting is required. For cut flowers, the vividly coloured Anemone De Caen is very popular.
