Plan ahead for a Spring reboot
IF your only spring colour is a few daffs and a forsythia bush, and you fancy boosting the show, this is the time to get planting. The best way to put more bloom in your spring bank is by getting a range of early-flowering perennials, shrubs and bulbs in the ground now, for a cheering display of colour and perfume from March to May.
Spring is, of course, bulb-tastic. So why not start by extending your range or style of bulbs? You might opt for striking colours (such as the burgundy tulip ‘Queen of Night’ or the blazing blue squill ‘Spring Beauty’). Or maybe something ‘Pagoda’, say, or the white ‘Thalia’). And if you fancy impact, try crown imperials (), with their punkhaired torches of yellow or tangerine.
