Crown Tulip Crown of Negrita
T3004
Description
Crown Tulip ‘Negita’ produces deep plum-purple blooms with a rich velvety finish, creating a dramatic and luxurious spring display. The intense colouring of tulip ‘Negita’ brings depth, contrast, and a sense of mystery to borders, containers, and feature planting schemes, where its elegant upright form stands out beautifully among lighter companion flowers.
Bold yet refined, this striking variety flowers on strong stems through spring and adds a sophisticated touch to both contemporary and classic garden designs.
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.

Sylvestris
T1009
Otherwise known as the ‘woodland’ tulip, ‘Sylvestris’ is the original native tulip – as such, it can be relied upon to flourish with minimal input. Sweetly scented, canary yellow blooms are streaked with faint brushstrokes of dark green. Beginning as refined, pointed buds with elegantly curling tips, the petals open during the day to catch the sun’s rays.
Tolerant of dappled shade and a range of soil conditions, the versatile Tulip Species ‘Sylvestris’ is suitable for containers, rockeries, and borders. This wild variety is exceptional for naturalising amongst lawns, orchards, under shrubs, and around woodland edges, where it will multiply with abandon.

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.

Honky Tonk
T1033
Like the lively country music of the same name, Tulip ‘Honky Tonk’ is an upbeat, sprightly tulip to put a spring in your step. Flutes of cheerful yellow blooms are blushed with soft pink, opening in the warmth of spring sunshine, and closing to a neat point by night. This Species variety multiplies well and is ideal for naturalising amongst grass, with its green-blue foliage featuring a delicately waved edge.
A compact habit means these blooms are equally suited to brightening containers and edging borders. The RHS have honoured tulipa ‘Honky Tonk’ with an Award of Garden Merit, the seal of approval for garden performance.
