Capture the warmth of a glowing spring sunset with our Sunset Apricot & Gold Bulb Lasagne Collection. Carefully layered to flower in succession, this stunning blend combines rich golden yellows, warm apricot tones and soft creamy whites, creating a vibrant display that lasts from late winter well into late spring.

The season begins with the cheerful golden blooms of Crocus Golden Yellow, one of the earliest flowers to emerge, providing a welcome splash of sunshine and an important nectar source for hungry bees. As spring gathers pace, delicate clusters of Muscari 'Baby's Breath' weave between the foliage with soft porcelain-white flowers, adding freshness and contrast.

Elegant Narcissus 'Avalon' follows with its large lemon-yellow blooms and softly frilled apricot-yellow cups, bridging the seasons beautifully before the magnificent tulips take centre stage. Tulipa 'Apricot Foxx' produces luxurious, peony-like flowers in glowing shades of apricot, peach and soft pink, while the graceful Tulipa 'Ballerina' finishes the display with fragrant, lily-flowered blooms in rich tangerine-orange that catch the evening light beautifully.

Planted using the traditional bulb lasagne technique, each variety is positioned at a different depth so the flowers emerge one after another, creating a spectacular display that evolves over many weeks rather than blooming all at once.

Perfect for patio pots, front door containers, balconies and sunny terraces, this beautiful collection provides a professional-quality spring display with very little effort.

  • 10 × Crocus Golden Yellow
  • 10 × Muscari 'Baby's Breath'
  • 5 × Narcissus 'Avalon'
  • 5 × Tulipa 'Apricot Foxx'
  • 5 × Tulipa 'Ballerina'

(Suggested planting in a 35–40cm diameter container.)

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant your Sunset Apricot & Gold Bulb Lasagne Collection during autumn (September–November), before the ground freezes. Autumn planting allows the bulbs to establish strong roots ready for a spectacular spring display.

Where to Plant:
Choose a container at least 35–40cm wide and deep with drainage holes. Position in full sun or partial shade using a good-quality, free-draining compost.

How to Plant:

  • Bottom Layer: Plant the Tulipa 'Apricot Foxx' and Tulipa 'Ballerina' approximately 15cm deep.
  • Second Layer: Add compost, then plant the Narcissus 'Avalon' approximately 12cm deep.
  • Third Layer: Add another layer of compost before planting the Muscari 'Baby's Breath' approximately 8cm deep.
  • Top Layer: Finish with the Crocus Golden Yellow approximately 5–8cm deep.
  • Cover with compost, water thoroughly and place the container outdoors.

Watering:
Water well after planting. Winter rainfall is usually sufficient. During spring, keep the compost lightly moist but never waterlogged.

Aftercare Tips:

  • Feed every two weeks with a high-potash fertiliser once shoots appear.
  • Remove faded flowers but allow all foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulbs for next year.
  • The bulbs can remain in the container for future displays or be planted into the garden after flowering.

Top Tip:
Finish the container with decorative gravel or bark for a professional look. Position near a doorway or seating area where you can enjoy the changing colours as each layer flowers in succession throughout spring.
