Forty Snowdrops 40 Percent Off
CAM37
When we all feel winter is overstaying its welcome, when the garden lies subdued and the days feel stuck in greyscale, you spot them. Small, brave, defiant. Snowdrops. Never showy. 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.

Snowdrops are not rare, but this is what makes them powerful. Snowdrops are part of the shared rhythm of gardeners for generations – whispers from Victorian borders, monastery cloisters, and the childhood gardens we still carry with us. Familiar, yet every February feels like the first time
Galanthus nivalis (Snowdrops Latin name) do not just bloom early — they arrive when nothing else dares. In the language of flowers, Snowdrops have come to mean faith and rebirth. While you could rationally say, “it is just a small white flower,” your heart knows better. You are not planting bulbs. You are planting small acts of optimism.
Silently, without fuss, Snowdrops remind you to believe in what is coming next. So, if your garden deserves a gentle nudge of wonder…and your future self could use a little surprise in late winter, this is your moment.
We are only able to dig a limited number of these larger bulbs each season, which keeps quality high and freshness perfect. Once we have sold out, and because de Jager was built on quality over quantity, our 5cm Snowdrop bulbs will not return until next year.

Speciosus Albus
C2063
Pure white petals unfold during autumn, revealing a pretty cluster of rich-orange stamens on Crocus ‘Speciosus Albus’.
One of the first Crocus to bloom in September, this charming variety has been granted an Award of Garden Merit from The Royal Horticultural Society for its reliability, ethereal looks and excellent garden qualities.
Leaves appear in spring and fade during summer before the elegant flowers bloom, topping smooth bare stems.
These unusual Croci are invaluable for late season interest in the garden and look exquisite flowering in ribbons or clumps through the front of an autumn border and in grass beneath a mature tree.

Jan Bos
H2852
Carmine-pink, frilled bells bloom in abundance, smothering the stout stems of award-winning Hyacinth ‘Jan Bos,’ bringing vivid colour and exquisite fragrance into the home at Christmastime.
Recipient of a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS, watching these charming spring flowers bloom when the weather is still cold outside, you understand the reason they hold this accolade.
The specially prepared bulbs are despatched in September, and should be planted shallowly in bowls or containers, with the green tip and portion of bulb above soil level.
May also be forced in water by placing 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.
