Historic Bulbs
Quality bulbs at realistic prices


With an increasing interest in old varieties of bulbs we have selected a small range of "oldies" which we think will be attractive to discerning gardeners. They have stood the test of time and one is over 300 year old. With distinctive forms they are ideal as a special feature in any established garden or for naturalising.
