Plants and Bulbs 20% Off Today Only

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 09:03:29 -0400

It's getting towards the time for planting tulips, ideally at the end of October through November, as we feel the temperature dropping a little; and what a show they make in the spring. These combination packs are gorgeous. They can be grown in the ground, of course, or in pots grouped with other plants flowering at either the same time (think muscari, anemone, hellebore) or not, their leaves acting as a foil for the tulips themselves. It will be an ideal time to plant perennials soon, too, in late September to October. Crocus have this discount for all their plants, ready for planting this autumn.

I use them on my website a lot because they have some fabulous products: ultra modern and chic! For something a little different, this is the place to look. There are many 'ideas and inspiration' pages for rooms both inside or out, which help us to get an idea of what grouped furniture and accessories might look like in a given setting. Very handy. I love this one in particular, with it's neutral colours, patterns and textures. Very modern and minimalist. Just great for getting the creative juices flowing! The discount code runs until the end of August. Homary are an international company, so we can all benefit. Use this code to get 10% off, at checkout, on any item from the Homary website: AF10 Enjoy!
