Prepared Christmas Hyacinth Delft Blue
H2851
Description
Exquisitely scented, star-shaped florets of soft-blue smother the stems of Hyacinth ‘Delft Blue,’ as they burst into bloom, indoors at Christmastime.
Delft Blue holds a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for its exceptional qualities.
These specially prepared bulbs are designed to flower 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 or containers, with the green tip and section of bulb above soil level.
Hyacinth ‘Delft Blue’ is also ideal for forcing in water. Place each 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.
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.
Care Guide
They like a light, well-drained soil situated in a sunny and sheltered part of the garden. Plant 12 cm deep, 15cm apart.

Greenland
T1503
Viridiflora Tulip ‘Greenland’, sometimes referred to as ‘Groenland’, features a soft chalice shape and longer stems than many viridiflora tulip varieties making this one of the best for cutting.
The cupped flowers bloom in a pretty colour arrangement of rose-pink petals with a fresh green sweep along each centre.
Viridiflora tulips are known for being long-lasting in the garden, returning in late spring every year with their annual show of blooms.
Both in the vase and in the garden, tulip ‘Greenland’ combines beautifully with pastel pink and lilac shades as well as richer pinks and purples.

A super long-lasting cut flower which adds a stylish look to spring arrangements and bouquets. Tulip ‘Ballerina’ has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for its all-round excellent performance.
Combine with pastel Aquilegias, Jonquilla ‘Cosmopolitan’ and tulip ‘Black Parrot’ for a tasteful, architectural late spring show. Plant the bulbs densely for an eye-catching effect.
