White Pot

This White Pot brings together carefully selected bulbs of crocuses, narcissus, and tulips for their white blooms, which will follow one another from February-March to April-May. The same composition can be done in the garden, in a flower bed, along a border, or in a perennial bed. Once planted, these easy-to-grow bulbs will bloom year after year and naturalise over time.

This White Pot consists of:

20 Triumph White Dream tulips: an elegant and bright variety with a narrow corolla of pure white, carried by 40 cm (16 in) stems. This variety blooms in the middle of spring from April onwards.

10 Triandrus Narcissus Thalia: an old variety with small, lightly scented white flowers of timeless simplicity. Each stem bears 2 to 3 delicate flowers, at a height of 35 cm (14 in) from the ground. It blooms in April-May.

25 Mammoth Jeanne d'Arc crocuses: an old variety with large, particularly bright flowers that are easy to grow. This crocus charms with its large, diaphanous pure white flowers, open on a small cluster of orange stamens. They bloom in February-March.

A total of 55 bulbs packaged separately and labelled.

This collection is perfect for filling a large planter, a small flower bed, or a rockery.

In a flower bed or rockery: scatter the bulbs in the ground, burying them at the recommended depth for each plant:

- for crocuses: 5 cm (2 in) deep and 5 cm (2 in) apart or in groups of three every 15 or 20 cm (6 or 8 in).

- for narcissus: 10 cm (4 in) deep and spaced 10 cm (4 in) apart.

- for tulips: 15 cm (6 in) deep, spacing them 10 cm (4 in) apart.

In a container: plant your bulbs very close together, without touching the edge of the pot, and spaced 1 cm (0.4 in) apart. You can plant pots of the same variety, but you can also plant them in layered tiers to have blooms for more than 2 months. Use pots with drainage holes at the bottom and filled with a layer of large stones (at least 5 cm (2 in)) to ensure drainage, and a good potting soil, possibly mixed with garden soil if available (in a 50:50 ratio), and kept moist. Protect your pots in winter and bring them out as soon as the bulb shoots appear.

The leaves of narcissus, tulips, and crocuses naturally wither a few weeks after flowering: do not prune them until they have completely turned yellow, as they allow the bulb to replenish its reserves for the following spring's flowering.
