11. Perennials - bulbs

The following bulbs are especially useful for wildlife.


For spring colour

Plant in autumn:

  • Winter aconite (Aconitus).
  • Grape hyacinth (Muscari) - spreads quickly, so contain it by deadheading and digging out unwanted plants.
  • Spring crocus (Crocus)
  • Anemone (Anemone)
  • English bluebell (Endymion non-scripta) - shorter and more delicate than the Spanish bluebell, but invasive so take care to contain it. Tolerates light shade.

For autumn colour

Plant in early summer:

  • Meadow saffron (Colchicum) - flowers appear in autumn, large leaves in spring.
