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.

Other 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 circumference, tulips are generally 11/12's, crocuses 7/8's, prepared hyacinths 16/17'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! Smaller bulbs mean smaller flowers, (or none), and may not come up the following year.

Andy's Picture gallery: Click here This is nothing to do with bulbs. Many of us draw and paint, and what we produce sits in a drawer and rarely sees the light of day. I decided that although I am hardly a great artist I would indulge in an ego-trip, and post a selection of my pictures on this website. As a descendant of Sir Muirhead Bone and his son Stephen Bone, both official Naval War artists, there are quite a lot of ship pictures. Genes will out!

Labradors: We have bred Labradors for a number of years. We have created a photographic record of all the various litters, which we are pleased to share with you. Click here to start.
