Kaufmanniana Tulip Stresa
T1075
Description
Bursting onto the scene in a flash of joyous colour, Kaufmanniana Tulip ‘Stresa’ is one of the first tulips to appear, blooming alongside crocuses and narcissi. Dazzling canary-yellow flowers are stamped with broad flares of pillar-box red, accompanied by handsome, delicately marbled foliage.
Pointed buds show off the decorative underside to each petal, before opening fully in the sunshine with beaming, golden faces. Tulip ‘Stresa’ makes a bold accent for window boxes, containers, rockeries, and at the front of borders. This stand-out tulip variety boasts the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit for its proven performance and high value in the garden.
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.

Pink Pearl
H2853
Soft-pink buds burst into a cluster of perfumed fuchsia florets around Christmastime, covering the stems of Hyacinth ‘Pink Pearl.’
These specially prepared bulbs are designed to flower indoors during the darkest depths of winter, when colour and scent are most welcome in the home.
Despatched in September, the bulbs should be planted shallowly in bowls, baskets or containers, with the green tip and section of bulb just above soil level and will bloom in 10-12 weeks.
Hyacinth Pink Pearl is also ideal for forcing in water. Place 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.
de Jager's top quality, top size bulbs really make a huge difference in terms of flowering.
