Narcissus Elka isof the earliest, prettiest and longest-flowering daffodils in my garden with soft white petals and a lemon-yellow trumpet that fades to ivory. At only around six inches high, it combines well with taller varieties and multiples over the years to create mini drifts on its own.
Narcissus Snipe isanother smaller, early daffodil with creamy, white petals and a yellow trumpet but with the distinct swept back petals of the Cyclamineus types.Narcissus Pseudonarcissus Moschatus Cernuus
Also known as the swan’s neck daffodil, Narcissus Pseudonarcissus Moschatus Cernuus is an old variety loved for the demure way it hangs it head. This graceful beauty shortish in height, it looks best to me in woodland areas where it can gently naturalise.
Narcissus ‘Firebrand’ is possibly my favourite daffodil of all with star shaped, wavy lemon petals and a fiery small red cup. It’s late flowering and another old variety.
Hyacinths are a great way to inject a burst of colour early on and Hyacinth ‘Woodstock’ with its vivid magenta-plum blooms brings excitement and energy to the more traditional blues and creams of spring.
Mid-blue H. ‘Anastasia’ is multiflora hyacinth with fabulous, although slightly lax, dark stems. To me it’s more like a vigorous bluebell than a traditional hyacinth.
Tulipa Paul Scherer is a late-flowering black tulip that has proved highly perennial and disease resistant. It brings a touch of drama and sophistication when combined with

Yellow Thread Rohdea Is a Rare Perennial Jewel for Shady Nooks and Crannies
While some may be familiar with Japanese sacred lily (Rohdea japonica, Zones 6–10), Rohdea pachynema is an uncommon species that is indeed a Rohdea less traveled. Found only in the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan, it is an intriguing member of the Asparagaceae family that is slowly becoming more available to gardeners. It was formerly known as Campylandra sinensis or C. pachynema, but recent DNA work has moved it into the genus Rohdea, whose name commemorates German botanist Michael Rohde. We can find no documented common name for this species, so we have dubbed it “yellow thread rohdea” since pachynema means “thick thread” (referring to the colored central stripe on the leaves).
