Kaufmanniana Tulip Stresa
T1075
Bursting onto the scene in a flash of joyous colour, Kaufmanniana Tulip ‘Stresa’ is one of the first tulips to appear, blooming alongside crocuses and narcissi. Dazzling canary-yellow flowers are stamped with broad flares of pillar-box red, accompanied by handsome, delicately marbled foliage.
Pointed buds show off the decorative underside to each petal, before opening fully in the sunshine with beaming, golden faces. Tulip ‘Stresa’ makes a bold accent for window boxes, containers, rockeries, and at the front of borders. This stand-out tulip variety boasts the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit for its proven performance and high value in the garden.

Blue Pearl
H2855
Star-shaped blooms of cobalt-blue, edged with a delicate white trim are densely clustered along the stems of Hyacinth ‘Blue Pearl,’ bringing colour and scent into the home in the depths of winter.
Specially prepared bulbs which are designed to flower around Christmastime. The bulbs are despatched in September and should be planted shallowly in bowls or containers, with the green tip and part of the bulb showing above soil level.
The hyacinth blue pearl bulbs can also be forced in water, with the base of the bulbs sitting above water level in a hyacinth vase. Roots will quickly form, sense, then seek out the water below.
For Christmas flowers, keep your containers in a cool, dark place until the beginning of December when they can be brought out into the light.
de Jager's top quality, top size bulbs really make a huge difference in terms of flowering.
