Bluebell, English (hyacinthoides non-scripta)

Bluebells are found in woodlands and shady banks, near the west coast, on sea-cliffs and under bracken. In the right conditions bluebells can completely dominate the woodland floor in spring. Plant bluebells in swathes in a flower border, under trees, in an orchard or in a lawn. These bluebell bulbs are UK Native.

Daffodil, Wild (Narcissus lobularis)

The Wild Daffodil (Narcissus lobularis) is a more delicate and graceful plant than its cultivated counterparts, with a pale yellow perianth around a golden trumpet. Excellent  for naturalising. The strap-like, upright, grey-green leaves of the wild daffodil are also distinctive. A bulb flowering around March time.


 
Snake's Head Fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) enlarge image

Snake's Head Fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris)

It is native to Europe, but in many places, including France, Slovenia and Romania it is an endangered species that is rarely found in the wild, but is common in horticulturists' gardens. Pretty, pendent, white bells on slender stems emerge in April and May. These delightful wildflowers were once widespread throughout the UK, and are perfect for naturalising in a moist woodland edge or wildflower garden. It's essential to select a site where the soil remains moist in spring.

Snowflake, Summer (Leucojum aestivum)

The Summer Snowflake or Loddon Lily (from the River Loddon in Berkshire) is a tall and an especially beautiful member of this varied family. The large and pure-white flowers appear in late spring, and are bell-like with a green spot near tips of petals. This hardy bulb has linear basal leaves which are bright green. Confined to wet meadows or marshy ground as a possible native flower (although not recorded as growing in the wild until the eighteenth century) it is also now widely naturalised and grown in gardens. This is a very suitable plant for the margin of a pond or a moist rockery.  These particular bulbs are imported.

Wild Garlic - Ramsons (Allium ursinum)

A wild relative of chives, Wild Garlic (or Ramsons) grows from a small bulb and often spreads to form large clumps. It can be found in damp woods, scrub, hedges and on shady banks, where its garlicky aroma will fill the air. The leaves are edible but have a surprisingly mild flavour. This is an excellent plant for ground cover in a wet corner of the garden. These wild garlic bulbs are UK native.
