More information

A mix of Tête à Tête Daffodils with yellow flowers, Sardensis Glory-of-the-Snow with blue flowers, and multiflorous hyacinth with bright pink flowers. These bulbs bloom between late February (for the daffodils) and late April or early May depending on the climate, offering several weeks of flowers. The bulbs are planted in autumn, in full sun or partial shade, in any well-drained soil. An ideal selection to add colour to a rockery, edge a flower bed, or create cheerful planters.

Description

This Inspiration collection for small spring bulbs with contrasting flowering consists of 38 bulbs in total. The lemon-yellow scented trumpets of the daffodil lead the way, closely followed by the blue flowers with white touches of the Chionodoxa and the multiflorous hyacinth, both highly scented. Flowering takes place from late February to late April or early May, depending on the climate. Yellow, blue, and pink to welcome spring with a bang!

This Collection consists of:

x 10 Narcissus cyclamineus Tête à Tête: one of the earliest, flowering between late February and March depending on the region. Each 25 cm tall stem carries 2 to 3 small lemon-yellow, scented flowers. It prefers soils that are not too chalky and not too dry in summer.

x 25 Chionodoxa sardensis (Scilla sardensis): called glory of the snow, this pretty bulb forms large carpets over time of delicate and refined blue star-shaped flowers with white hearts, at 15 cm above the ground. This plant multiplies and spreads spontaneously in the garden.

x 3 Hyacinthus Multiflora Rose: this plant produces several spikes of flowers instead of the single one usually observed in hyacinths. The star-shaped flowers of this variety are quite bright pink, highly scented, and have excellent longevity. A lovely tuft of light spikes, with a very natural appearance, in March-April.

The plants are labelled separately.

Plant the bulbs in autumn, in large groups, along the edge of a lawn, in a rockery, at the front of your flower beds, or even in large planters to be placed near the house. Mix the varieties for a multicoloured and contrasting effect or separate them to create spots of color. These plants are perfectly hardy and easy to grow in soils that are not too wet, not too chalky, and not too dry in summer. A good horticultural compost, mixed with garden soil, will be perfect. A sunny location will guarantee a beautiful flowering. The bulbs should be planted deep enough so that they are covered with a layer of soil equal to twice their height.

Planting and care

Plant your bulbs as soon as possible in well-drained soil that does not retain excess water. Loosen the soil deeply, mix in some compost and non-chalky gravel if your soil is very clayey and heavy. The bulbs should be covered with soil to a depth twice their height. Space the bulbs apart, making sure they do not touch each other. Choose a sunny exposure (in spring), or even partially shaded in summer. In hot climates, prefer partial shade or plant at the base of deciduous bushes and trees.
