You want QUALITY bulbs to make sure Spring starts as colourful as possible? You have come to the right place.
Any garden lover will appreciate a Superior Bulb Collection for the garden from a source with 187 years of experience! And what country in the world is famous for Superior Bulbs? Holland! Not only tulips, there is such a large variety of astonishing blooms, you just have to check it out.
When we just moved into the country I discovered, that Iris bulbs actually come in fascinating colours, shapes and even scents of blooms.
In early fall, plant your Dutch Iris (Iris Xiphium) bulbs 3-4″ deep and 3-4″ apart in light, fertile, well-drained soil. Dutch Iris prefer bright, sunny locations but can live in partial shade. It will intrigue you with its unusual combination of violet-blue standards, bronze falls and yellow eye. If you have clay-heavy soil, add some coarse sand and humus. Irises enjoy a low-nitrogen fertilizer. Set the bulb firmly to hold the plant in place. Make sure the bulb is near the surface. Firm the soil tightly and allow enough for settling to keep the bulbs above any possible standing water. The top of the bulb should be just beneath the surface of the soil. If you have several plants, plant them at least a foot and a half apart, “facing” the same way.

And another one of my personal favourites in spring! Trumpet Daffodils!
Of all Holland’s beauties, few are finer than Breck’s Colossal Daffodils, the favorite of American gardeners from coast to coast. The best yellow giant daffodil ever developed, it has broad petals like rays of sunshine surrounding a bright yellow trumpet. Sturdy stems hold the extra-large 5″ flowers high. Unsurpassed for bringing warmth to your springtime garden and illuminating bouquets.
5 Chromacolor…The largest pink daffodil of all! Outstanding, 5″ blooms boast a wide, centre corona of deep coral pink surrounded by clean white petals. Pink intensifies over an incredibly long bloom span (up to 18 days!). Makes fragrant bouquets.
5 Fortissimo…Bright yellow perianth holds a sensational frilled cup of glowing orange-red. Huge 6″ blooms bring the beauty to your yard. Long-lasting.
5 Decoy…The cups of this extraordinary daffodil feature the richest deep red-pink tones you’ve ever seen, surrounded by a wreath of snow-white petals. Sure to be a standout in your garden or bouquets!
5 Mount Hood…The world’s finest, all-white giant trumpet daffodil is a delight to behold. Large blooms first open a pale, primrose yellow, then quickly change to all white. Perfect in every detail – from strong stems to flaring trumpets to pristine perianths 5″ across.
