Darwin Tulip Two-Tone Mixture
T1564
Description
Pairing the fresh, lemon sorbet yellow of Darwin Tulip ‘World Friendship’ and the bright pop of Darwin Tulip ‘Pink Impression’, the Easter-egg tones of this ‘Two Tone Tulip Mixture’ are the perfect celebration of spring. Chosen carefully for their identical flowering time, height and flower shape, this tulip combination will add lively cheer to your borders and containers.
The goblet-shaped, super-sized flower heads are held on strong stems which will not waver, even in inclement weather. This tulip collection provides you with a ready-made blend of cut flowers to fill vases around your home and create gorgeous bouquets to give to family and friends.
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.
