Very beautiful arrangement. The only downside is that the Hyacinths, which are quite vigorous, bloomed before the others and were therefore faded when the other plants in the arrangement started to bloom. They ended up overshadowing the rest a little bit. Nevertheless, the planter remained beautiful for a long time. The pansies are still in bloom.

Description

This 'Fragrant Spring' collection combines carefully selected bulbous plants and biennials for their white and fragrant flowering, accompanied by a bright variegated Carex. Installed in a large planter or even in a small bed not far from the house, they will offer a fragrant and very flowery decoration from February to May, enhanced by the elegant persistence of the Carex in all seasons.

 

The collection consists of:

5 Carnation Hyacinth bulbs with highly fragrant pure white flowers from March to May, depending on the climate

20 White Magic Grape Hyacinth bulbs, offering small, fragrant and very white clusters in April-May

3 plug plants of Belarina Cream double Primrose, with deliciously double and slightly fragrant flowers, creamy white, from February to April

2 plug plants of Evergold Morrow's Sedge forming small tufts of 30 cm in all directions, with long cream-edged grass-like leaves on a green background.

5 plug plants of Sorbet XP White Horned Violet are covered with immaculate white flowers with a tiny yellow centre from February-March and sometimes until September.

 

First, plant the bulbs halfway up the container, then position the plants on the surface of the soil 10-15 cm apart.

This collection can fill two planters measuring 40 to 60 cm in length, two pots approximately 30 cm in diameter, or a small bed 60 cm in diameter.

You can also sow white forget-me-nots or plant snowdrops or white tulip bulbs to enhance it.

 

Note: Attention: our plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transplant them as soon as possible into pots, planters, or directly in beds.

Planting and care

Plant your mini bunches of biennials and bulbs in a pot or large tub in a sunny or semi-shady spot. You can also grow them in individual pots to harden them before placing them in your arrangement. They need light, moist soil and appreciate a little fertiliser. Place the bulbs about 10 cm deep, fill in with potting soil to within 1 or 2 cm of the edge of the pot, and then plant the biennial plants in small bunches, spacing them about 10 to 15 cm apart in all directions. Potted biennials should be watered after planting and can be stored over winter on a balcony or window sill protected from cold winds.
