Snowdrops,
Aconites & Bluebells "In the Green"
from the Clare Bulb Company
Buying English Snowdrops, Winter Aconites
and English bluebells "in the green" is a more reliable way of
achieving success than planting "dry" bulbs, i.e.. as one would
buy and plant in the autumn. The bulbs we offer are naturally grown and lifted
under controlled conditions. We are very adamant that no more than a day or two
should pass between the lifting of the bulbs, and their arrival at our
customers' address. This way the bulbs remain fully viable.
In our opinion the relatively small additional cost of buying bulbs in the green
against buying dry bulbs in the autumn is well worth the extra outlay.
Bulbs in the green may be ordered
at any time during the year, although they are only delivered from early
February until mid-April, the actual delivery time depending upon the weather in
the early part of the year. Hard frosts or persistent rain prevents lifting
taking place.
Given that in most years there is a limited supply of native snowdrops and
bluebells, it is wise to order before the end of March . If ordering later than
that, please give us a ring, to see how we stand. If there is a problem, it is
more likely to be with bluebells.
