Forty Snowdrops 40 Percent Off
CAM37
When we all feel winter is overstaying its welcome, when the garden lies subdued and the days feel stuck in greyscale, you spot them. Small, brave, defiant. Snowdrops. Never showy. Never loud yet somehow Snowdrops matter more because they are the first greeting from spring. If you are like most gardeners, this instant – once the first white nod of Galanthus Nivalis pushes through frost – is not just botanical. It is emotional. It is hope.
This is the reason de Jager are offering you 40 of our finest Snowdrop 5cm bulbs, ready to plant this autumn. Enough to weave a story through your beds, borders, or beneath trees, anywhere you would like a gentle reminder happiness has returned…even after the bleakest season.

Snowdrops are not rare, but this is what makes them powerful. Snowdrops are part of the shared rhythm of gardeners for generations – whispers from Victorian borders, monastery cloisters, and the childhood gardens we still carry with us. Familiar, yet every February feels like the first time
Galanthus nivalis (Snowdrops Latin name) do not just bloom early — they arrive when nothing else dares. In the language of flowers, Snowdrops have come to mean faith and rebirth. While you could rationally say, “it is just a small white flower,” your heart knows better. You are not planting bulbs. You are planting small acts of optimism.
Silently, without fuss, Snowdrops remind you to believe in what is coming next. So, if your garden deserves a gentle nudge of wonder…and your future self could use a little surprise in late winter, this is your moment.
We are only able to dig a limited number of these larger bulbs each season, which keeps quality high and freshness perfect. Once we have sold out, and because de Jager was built on quality over quantity, our 5cm Snowdrop bulbs will not return until next year.

Flower after flower opens evenly, creating a dependable rhythm across the border. Very sophisticated, the clear tone draws the eye without shouting. A steady spring companion.
5 x White Emperor (RHS AGM)
bulb size 12/+ cm, crisp and fresh, a clean contrast to the others. White Emperor carries a quiet strength: broad petals, gently pointed, with a cool elegance which freshens surrounding colours. Early to flower, White Emperor sets the tone for a calm, balanced display.
When your Emperor tulips open, your spirit is re-energised. The Orange Emperor glows even on dull days, the Yellow brings a brightness which feels like bottled sunshine, and the White adds calm and balance. Together these create a dramatic display which feels satisfying…and gives the impression you planned something rather memorable.
The day you step outside, see the colours standing tall, you know it was worth the few minutes spent tucking the bulbs into the autumn soil. Such a small investment of your time for weeks of pleasure in Spring.
I trust you will give these Emperors a place in your garden because they have a way of making Spring feel a little more fulfilling. Delivered the end of September, fresh from our Dutch grower and arriving in perfect condition for planting.

Dutch Master
N0102
A flamboyant, fragrant beauty which has been gracing garden borders and announcing spring since 1938 - ‘Dutch Master’ is a multi-award-winning Narcissi for good reason, holding an Award of Garden merit from the RHS amongst its accolades.
Standing proud in the garden on long, strong stems, rich golden blooms feature a large, fluted central trumpet.
Naturalises beautifully in borders, containers, and grassy areas, adding a swathe of spring sunshine wherever these Narcissi bloom. Perfect for cutting and arranging. Snip when the blooms are half open for a long vase life and condition separately before adding to arrangements or bouquets.
