Amaryllis Ferrari
M5544
Description
Enormous, velvety blooms of scarlet make Hippeastrum ‘Ferrari’ a luxurious houseplant for the festive season. Perfect for introducing a burst of bold colour into the home, the large, trumpet-shaped flowers bloom several at a time, atop smooth, tall stems.
These architectural plants are native to South Africa, commonly referred to as Amaryllis and are usually forced to flower over the Christmas period, or during January - when a splash of vibrant colour is most welcome.
The lily-like flowers of amaryllis Ferrari have a deep red centre, which makes the curved stamens of yellow pollen stand out, enhancing the exotic and enchanting looks of this spectacular plant.
Each bulb will produce two stems, each holding up to 5 large blooms.
de Jager's top quality, top size bulbs really make a huge difference in terms of flowering.
Care Guide
Before planting soak lower part of bulb and roots in warm water for a few hours. Hippeastrum bulbs should flower approximately six to eight weeks after planting and are best planted between October and January.
Use a peat-free John Innes No.2 or multipurpose compost and choose a pot just slightly larger than the bulb. Position the bulb with roughly one-third exposed above the compost surface. Place pots in a bright warm room at approximately 21°C (70°F) to encourage strong growth. Water lightly at first, increasing gradually once leaves begin to appear. Keep the compost lightly moist but never waterlogged, and avoid leaving excess water in saucers.
Turn the pot regularly so the flower stem develops evenly towards the light, and support taller varieties if needed. Once the flowers open, moving the plant to a cooler room around 15–18°C (60–65°F) will help extend the display and keep blooms looking fresh for longer.

Huis Ten Bosch
T1468
The two-tone blooms of Fringed Tulip ‘Huis Ten Bosch’ are a sweet treat for spring containers and garden beds. With a creamy-white base, the petals are edged with candy pink and feature a pretty fringed edge.
The unusual flowers mix well with rosy shades and soft-yellow, both in the garden and in the vase for spring floral displays. We think it looks wonderful paired with lemony Paeony-flowered tulip ‘Verona’ in a large pot or border.
Strong stems make this elegant, frilly tulip 'Huis Ten Bosch' a fabulous flower for cutting.

Passionale
T1374
The meaning of Mid Season Tulip ‘Passionale’ is ‘passionate’, and this is certainly a tulip to inspire feelings of ardour. Prized for its lustrous, amethyst petals framed by a band of deeper purple, the neat blooms flare outwards to give a curvaceous contour. As the flowers relax and open in the sunshine, you may glimpse the sulphur yellow anthers peeping out from the centre.
This marvellous, mid-season variety lends its rich opulence to borders, container displays and floral arrangements. In recognition of its superior quality and reliability, tulip ‘Passionale’ has been granted the honour of an RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Rhapsody of Smiles
T1714
Tulip ‘Rhapsody of Smiles’ boasts large, egg-shaped mango blooms delicately streaked with red. Each flower appears slightly different to its neighbour thanks to the unique swirling flames of fruit salad tones.
This bright and bold may-flowering tulip will add warmth to spring borders and pots and is fabulous for cutting and adding a pop of cheerful colour to bouquets and floral designs.
Plant ‘Rhapsody of Smiles’ next to crimson tulips such as ‘Red Proud’ and fringed ‘Pacific Pearl’ to enhance the scarlet markings.
