Tulip ‘Spring Green’ has been granted the sought-after Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.
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.

Multiflowering Pink
H2801
A delicate yet showy, Multiflowering Pink Hyacinth - ideal for forcing to create wonderful indoor pot displays. These bulbs have been specially bred to produce multiple stems of loosely set, perfumed floral bells.
Perfect for bringing the outdoors in, forcing bulbs allows you to enjoy the splendour and fragrance of multiflowering blue hyacinth's spring flowers, early in the year when the weather may still be inclement outside.
We recommend potting your bulbs in late autumn, before placing in a cool dark area to produce strong roots and delay flowering. Bring your containers out of storage after 12-16 weeks and place them in a warm, bright spot. The stems will grow rapidly, swelling with buds which burst into bloom at 3-4 weeks.
To enhance the natural look, cover the soil surface with moss and use twigs as support if stems require it.
de Jager only supplies the highest quality bulbs, making a huge difference in terms of flowering.

Mixed
M5556
A fine mixture of blue, white and pink Ipheion varieties.
This late spring, early summer garden gem is so useful for bridging the gap between seasons when sometimes bare spaces can appear in the garden between plants.
Plant the bulbs in clusters or ribbons for waves of colour near the front of garden borders and in rockeries. Ipheion also do well in pots of loam-based compost in full sun.
The delicate flowers are star-shaped, with a darker vein which runs along the centre of each petal. A central heart packed with pollen and nectar makes Ipheion attractive to pollinators and perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens.

Cape Cod

Echoing the best attributes of its namesake, the ‘Cape Cod’ tulip is characterised by lobster red petals fading to apricot, fringed by a flicker of sunshine yellow.
These vibrant blooms are underpinned by fascinating foliage, with grey-green leaves streaked with dark purple veining. This compact variety is ideal for adding a bright pop of colour to containers and along the front of your borders.
