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.
