Emerging with an apricot/burgundy flush, the spicily scented flowers of 'Sugar Rush Purple Bicolour' turn lilac/purple as they mature. As F1 hybrids, these plants are tough and easy to grow - and they'll reliably put on a terrific display over a long period, from spring to early summer. Team them with tulips of daffodils and enjoy months of spring colour.
Plant out into well-prepared borders, or into pots filled with a good quality potting mix. Apply a generous layer of mulch and provide overnight cloche or are very severe or prolonged and provde protection for young plants from slugs and snails. Once they start to flower, regular deadheading will help extend the display.
