Mid Season Tulip Heartbreaker
T1423
Description
Red as a racing pulse, Mid-Season Tulip ‘Heartbreaker’ burns with constant colour throughout the spring garden. Where other tulips may fade in strong sunlight, the vivid blooms of tulip ‘Heartbreaker’ remain bright, clear, and full of intensity, carried on strong stems with no dull moments.
Planted in borders, containers, or generous drifts, every flower feels like a statement of passion and energy. As the name suggests, once seen in full bloom, few tulips truly compare.
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.

Jan Bos
H2852
Carmine-pink, frilled bells bloom in abundance, smothering the stout stems of award-winning Hyacinth ‘Jan Bos,’ bringing vivid colour and exquisite fragrance into the home at Christmastime.
Recipient of a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS, watching these charming hyacinth Jan Bos spring flowers bloom when the weather is still cold outside, you understand the reason they hold this accolade.
The specially prepared bulbs are despatched in September, and should be planted shallowly in bowls or containers, with the green tip and portion of bulb above soil level.
May also be forced in water by placing a prepared bulb in the top of a hyacinth vase, with the base sitting above, but not touching water level. Roots will rapidly form, seeking out the water below – a miraculous process which is fascinating to watch.
For Christmas flowers, keep your containers in a cool, dark place until the beginning of December when they can be brought out into the light.

A vibrant apple-green centre adds freshness and holds a cluster of long, curved stamens.
