Mature & Formal Hardy Plants
Flower Bulbs
It is very important that people who buy flower bulbs, need to
be sure they are a good flowering size. Obviously the larger
the bulb, the larger the growth produced and the better the
result.
Unfortunately, especially in some of the trade of discount retailers,
where the buyer seems more interested in a low price, than giving
the customer a good quality product, many customers will be
disappointed with the result.
The minimum bulb size e.g. for tulips should be 10/11cm, daffodils
10/12cm, rockery narcissi 8/10cm, crocus 7/8cm, hyacinths 14/15cm
etc.

For your commercial & domestic
development projects
Nearly all bulbs are measured by the circumference, or round middles
except English daffodils which are measured over a long slot riddle.
Any bulb information is available at the British Flower Bulb
Association, c/o Springfield’s Horticultural Society, Spalding,
Lincolnshire.
