Description

This Inspiration collection of spring bulbs in a soft colour scheme brings together two varieties of daffodils and three different varieties of tulips. Their single or double flowers are more or less fragrant and display a pastel palette. These bulbs bloom between March and late April, welcoming spring in all its beauty. You can plant the bulbs in autumn in a perennial bed or a large border. Enjoy their flowers in a vase as well, as they make excellent cut flowers.

This Collection consists of:

5 'Fragrant Rose' Daffodils: a large 10 cm flower with a beautiful pure white corolla and a deep pink crown that exhales an astonishing fragrance of old roses. This variety blooms in April, reaching a height of 40 cm.

10 'Yellow Cheerfulness' Daffodils: a variety from the Tazetta group, pleasantly fragrant. Each stem carries 4 to 8 double, creamy yellow flowers on a long, sturdy stem of 40 cm. Blooms in April.

10 'Albert Heijn' Fosteriana Tulips: single, tapered flowers in a fairly bright candy pink, shaded with lilac, borne on a short and sturdy stem of 35 cm. It faithfully blooms from mid-March.

10 'Exotic Emperor' Fosteriana Tulips: a variety of great class, elegant, fragrant, and fresh. Large semi-double white flowers subtly brushed and veined with green on the outside. Blooms from mid-March, with a stem of 40 cm.

10 'Foxy Foxtrot' Early Double Tulips: an original and modern, voluptuous flower evoking peonies in shades of yellow, orange, apricot, and salmon pink. Its light fragrance is captivating. Blooms in April, with a stem of 40 cm.

Varieties are packed and labelled separately.

These bulbs bring an essential touch of colour and fragrance to the garden at a time of year when flowers are not so abundant. Plant them from late September to late November in full sun or partial shade, 15 cm deep and 10 cm apart. Group them in sets of at least 5 bulbs, in uniform colour patches or mixed. You can also plant them in the lawn. In this case, lift the turf, dig and loosen the soil to a depth of at least 20 cm (the height of a spade). Plant your bulbs, cover with soil, and replace the turf. Choose a spot where you won't mow too early, as it is necessary to let the leaves wither before cutting them. However, remember to remove the flowers as soon as they fade to prevent seed formation, which would unnecessarily exhaust the bulb. Some ideas for combinations: with forget-me-nots, honesty (Lunaria annua), and dame's rocket (Hesperis matronalis), as in Monet's garden in Giverny. Tulips benefit from being planted among other plants that will fill in the gaps once the flowering is over. They can also be planted in borders, rockeries, flower beds, as well as in pots and containers. When arranging them in a vase, use very little water, just a little at the bottom is enough! Furthermore, if your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase every day.

Planting and care

Plant your bulbs as soon as possible in a well-drained soil. Loosen the soil deeply. Plant at a depth of 10 or 15 cm (Bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs a few cm apart, making sure they do not touch each other. Choose a sunny location for better flowering. After flowering, cut the flower stalks and allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them.
