Value-for-money
A collection of 40 bulbs, consisting of 30 tulips and 10 daffodils, in a harmony of salmon pink, orange, and white shades, all delicately arranged. It brings together the Purissima fosteriana tulip, so bright with its almost white flower, the Menton, so playful with its salmon pink corollas bordered by a light orange stroke, the Apricot Beauty, so delicious in its pale salmon pink, with the small Sailboat narcissus, whose white and pale yellow trumpets in small bouquets exhale a delicate jasmine fragrance. Their flowering starts in March and ends in May.

Description

With this collection, everything is about harmony and delicacy! Tulips offer their elegant cups adorned with white, salmon pink, and soft apricot, among which will emerge in dancing bouquets the small, almost white and fragrant flowers of the Narcissus. The set allows the easy creation of an unforgettable display to celebrate the arrival of spring in beauty. Sublime with blue or white forget-me-nots.

The Harmony and Delicacy collection consists of:

- 10x Tulipa fosteriana Purissima: an old variety, a grand classic with evanescent flowers, very pale pearly cream white, crossed by a streak of light at the heart. Very resistant, robust, and undemanding, it will faithfully come back for many years without degenerating. It is also one of the first to bloom, starting in March. 40cm (16in) tall.

- 10x Late Single Tulip Menton: sought after for its nuanced colour, both soft and warm, uncommon among tulips. Its oval corolla goes from true pink to salmon pink bordered with orange under the sun. Its stem measures 55cm (22in) tall, it blooms in May-June.

- 10x Tulip 'Apricot Beauty': an old, timeless, and sumptuous variety, which flowers from the first days of April. Its flower blooms in a delicate and luminous colour, a fairly vivid salmon washed with pink, taking on shades of bright orange as it opens, then fading to light pink before withering. Its stem measures 35-40cm (14-16in) tall.

- 10x Narcissus 'Sailboat': a small variety 25cm (10in) tall, floriferous, each stem produces 2 to 3 white flowers with a sulfur yellow heart, gradually turning creamy white. Their fragrance is reminiscent of jasmine.

Individually labelled.

 

This collection finds its place in large groups, borders, rockeries, and flower beds. It can also be presented in pots or containers, embellishing balconies and terraces. It will perfectly accompany large perennials and is ideal for creating elegant bouquets. Be careful, Narcissus stems contain a substance that quickly wilts other flowers. This detrimental effect can be mitigated by dipping the ends of Narcissus stems in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes. Furthermore, if your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase every day. Only use very little water, just enough to cover the bottom!

Planting and care

Plant your bulbs as soon as possible in a well-drained soil. Loosen the soil deeply. Plant at a depth of 10cm (4in) (Bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs a few cm apart, making sure they do not touch. Choose a sunny location for better flowering. After flowering, cut the flower stalks and allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them.
