Fosteriana Tulip Sweetheart
T1128
Description
The delectable blooms of Fosteriana Tulip ‘Sweetheart’ look fit to be displayed in the window of a patisserie – like luscious lemon tarts piped with a meringue swirl, the zesty yellow petals are edged by sugar white feathering. Although not edible, these tulips are certainly a visual treat.
The sherbet blooms make an invigorating addition to borders and containers, appearing early in the season to pep up your spring display. As cut flowers, they make a delightful Easter bouquet or floral arrangement. This tulip 'Sweetheart' is robust and vigorous despite its delicate appearance, with a long flowering window and a perennial habit.
Care Guide
October to November are the optimum months for planting Tulip bulbs. The cooler late-autumn temperatures help to keep disease at bay, whilst still allowing time for your bulbs to put roots down before spring.
Any well-drained, fertile soil is perfect for Tulips, ideally in full sun or part shade. Plant the bulbs 10-20 cm deep, spaced 10-20 cm apart. A piece of chicken wire or mesh can be placed on top of the soil or pots after planting if squirrels or rodents are a problem in your area.
After flowering in March to May, remove withered stems, foliage and any fallen petals to promote good plant health and apply a top dressing of high-potash fertiliser in late winter.

Woodstock
H2518
Hyacinth ‘Woodstock’ is an opulent and expressive variety, producing deep bishop’s purple flower spikes with one of the darkest hues available in hyacinths. Richly coloured and heavily scented, it brings dramatic impact to spring borders, containers, and formal displays.
Its bold tones pair especially well with yellow varieties for striking visual contrast, while the strong stems of exhibition hyacinth Woodstock blooms ensure an impressive and reliable garden performance year after year.

Purple Sensation
H2858
Hyacinth ‘Purple Sensation’ bears densely clustered stems of rich amethyst florets.
The charming flowers emit a heady fragrance as they bloom in mid-winter – a time when spring flowers, colour and scent are such a charming addition to the home.
These specially prepared bulbs have been treated to flower indoors at Christmastime, if potted up in September and kept in a dark, cool room until early December when they can be moved into their final position to be enjoyed.
New Hyacinth ‘Purple Sensation’ is also perfect for forcing in water. Place each prepared bulb in the top of a hyacinth vase, with the base sitting just above, but not touching water level. Roots will rapidly appear, seeking out the water below before stems elongate and burst into flower.
de Jager's top quality, top size bulbs really make a huge difference in terms of flowering.

Perfect for well-drained soil in a sunny position, this extraordinary variety transforms spring displays with its subtle beauty and architectural charm.
