General Information

Colorful all year round. With flower bulbs

When you think of flower bulbs, you usually think of the colorful fireworks of tulips, hyacinths and daffodils in April and May. However, bulbous plants bring color to the garden not only during this short period, but also from the end of February through to the summer, making them an indispensable part of any mixed border planting.

We offer you a wide selection, from low to tall growth, in many different colors and shapes, for large areas and small niches and sometimes also for cut flowers. A variety of plants that goes beyond what is widely available and ensures that the wish that "perennial pope" Karl Foerster gave as an introduction to his flower bulb book is fulfilled - that garden lovers can finally look through garden fences with curiosity without just the old feeling: "Oh, I have that in my garden too - blooms a little later in my garden, stands here on a warm house wall." All the bulbs we offer come from controlled horticultural propagation and are not taken from wild stocks.

This dainty wild tulip originates from the south-western mountainous regions of Crete. The 'Chania' variety is characterized by a distinct purple colouring on the otherwise pale pink, almost white flowers. The outer petals are purple-brown at the base and end in a pinkish-purple stripe towards the tip. Up to three flowers are on one stem and open from April to May. The golden yellow stamens in the bright yellow center of the flower then provide plenty of food for insects. The small, only 20 cm high wild tulip is suitable for rock gardens, naturally designed (wild) herbaceous borders and for containers on balconies and terraces; it needs a sunny, dry spot with well-drained soil and will run wild well in a suitable location.

Height 15-20 cm. Flowers in April and May. Grading 6/+. All information on location, planting and care can be found on the packaging.
