An old variety that has stood the test of time and is still deservedly popular. Brilliant for adding early colour (although February may be a little bit of a push unless we have a very mild winter!), these small, cheery flowers should be planted in big clumps for maximum impact. They also do really well in pots and windowboxes.Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: March and April Flower colour: yellowOther features: excellent cut-flowersHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10cm apart in autumn.
