Please note:
These bulbs are pre-order items and are expected to be dispatched in the last week of August or the first week of September, weather permitting.
Our specialist growers carefully hold back stock until the bulbs have properly cured and are ready for immediate planting to ensure the best results in your garden.
In the unlikely event that a specific variety does not cure properly or is deemed non-viable by the farm, we will refund you for that portion of your order.
If you add pre-order items to your cart, your entire order will be held until those items are ready to ship. To receive in-stock items sooner, we recommend placing two separate orders.

Sunshine Lover: Your 'Ruby Tuesday' thrives in full sun to partial shade. Give it plenty of bright light, especially in the cooler morning hours, to encourage those rich colours.
Well-Draining is Best: Plant your arum lily in fertile, well-draining soil. A good quality potting mix designed for containers is ideal when growing in pots. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Happy Hydration: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. When the topsoil feels slightly dry, it's time for a drink. During their active growth in summer, they appreciate regular watering. As they head into dormancy, reduce watering gradually.
