Welcome to the Clare Bulb Company website.
Last updated May 2012
The Clare Bulb Company specialises in spring
bulbs for the gardener with the larger garden who may want to buy bulbs in bulk.
However, our prices are exceptionally competitive for smaller quantities as
well.
We concentrate on the more common bulbs, the ones which we know will grow
well in most gardens.
Each variety shown on the price-lists has a link to an "Info box",
which shows the height of the variety, when it flowers, and offer useful
tips. Click
here for an example.
We also offer growing advice, which are also linked to the pricelists. Click
here for an example.
Bulbs are purchased from leading Dutch and English growers, from people we know,
and whose quality is second to none.
We only sell bulbs, (and nothing else), and have done so for 38 years.
Until now we have been best known in East Anglia, but the internet now allows us
to offer our exceptional quality and low prices to anyone who wants a garden
full of spring colour.
If you click
here you will see sample pictures of some of the bulbs we sell,
mostly growing in our own award-winning garden. These
pictures, and many more, are also displayed in "Info boxes" which are
linked to the varieties shown in the price-lists.

useful Information:Bulb Sizes: Our low prices are not at the expense of the size of the bulbs. Our daffodils and narcissus are all "Top size", as growers call them, which means daffodils are 14/16 cms in diameter, tulips are generally 11/12's, crocuses 7/8's, prepared hyacinths 15/16's, and so on. Bigger bulbs give better flowers. N.B. Often the special offers found in newspapers and elsewhere are for smaller size bulbs than we offer!
Bulb Quality: Unlike many bulb companies our experienced team pack all our orders by hand, not only visually inspecting each and every bulb to ensure it meets our exacting standards, but gently squeezing each bulb (other than those sold by weight), to ensure it is firm to the touch, a sure sign of vigour. You may be assured that nothing is put in the bag unless we are confident it will flower.
