Never loud yet somehow Snowdrops matter more because they are the first greeting from spring. If you are like most gardeners, this instant – once the first white nod of Galanthus Nivalis pushes through frost – is not just botanical. It is emotional. It is hope.
This is the reason de Jager are offering you 40 of our finest Snowdrop 5cm bulbs, ready to plant this autumn. Enough to weave a story through your beds, borders, or beneath trees, anywhere you would like a gentle reminder happiness has returned…even after the bleakest season.

Jeanne d'Arc
C2242
Crocus Jeanne d’Arc’s pure white goblets are a wonderful marker that spring is well on its way when they flower for 3-4 weeks during February and March, often magically pushing their way through a bed of snow.
These fresh and ethereal blooms are brilliant for naturalising in the garden, in open grassy areas, beneath mature trees and in a spring border.
Invaluable for attracting early pollinators to the garden, such as bumblebees and hoverflies. The pretty cups open wide in warm sunshine, bearing their golden gifts of nectar and pollen, and fold back up as the sun goes down.
Crocus look wonderful planted in abundance, in generous swathes announcing the start of spring.
