Autumn-flowering 

bulbs 

Ordered early – delivered early! 

The species and varieties below need to be planted from the end of July to 

the end of August, as they start to bloom in the same year – from the end of 

September. 

Therefore please be sure to pre-order so that they can be dispatched early and 

on time. 

Note: 

Colchicum: 

Why do the leaves of the autumn 

crocus appear in the 

spring without a flower? 

The plant uses the leaves to 

store the sun’s energy in the 

bulb in the spring. 

Colchicum (Liliaceae) 

OP 50 bulbs | Delivery from start of August 

Herbaceous perennial poisonous in all parts of the plant, usually with large, onion-shaped bulbs for 

dry cultivation and garden planting. Loves a sunny to slightly shaded location and nutritious, fresh 

to damp soil. An undisturbed location over many years is best. The alkaloid colchicine contained in 

the plant is a capillary toxin that can cause paralysis and is also used in medicine. Plant depth approx. 

20 cm. Plant early in August / start of September 

The result: 

Splendid, radiant flowers 

in the autumn, when hardly 

any other bulbous plant is 

in bloom.

Cyclamen (Primulaceae) 

OP 50 bulbs | Delivery from start of August | Note the regulations relating to species conservation 

Cyclamen were one of the very first plants on our earth. There are around 17 species native to 

southern central Europe and the Mediterranean region. In their habitat, most of the species grow in 

semi-shaded spots in front of rock faces, among foliage and in coniferous woods, and often also in 

gravel under moderate sun. 

Cyclamen need a semi-shaded location, well-draining, humus-rich, chalky soil. After planting, the 

bulbs should be covered by just 3 - 5 cm of soil. In winter, cover to protect against frost and cold 

winds. For them to multiply well, the plants should remain in the same place over years. If you leave 

the autumn foliage and use it as mulch, fertilising is practically unnecessary.

Roof greenery 

Flower bulbs suitable for a colourful spring on the roof 

Since 1997, trials have been carried out at the 

gardening training and testing institute LVG Erfurt 

(gardening and landscaping division) on the 

use of plants in roof greenery. As there is often a 

dearth of colour in early spring, the LVG focused 

on finding out which bulbs are suitable for planting 

in various thin substrates for roof greenery. 

Different species such as alliums, Fritillaria 

imperialis, Eremurus, Lilium candidum, Galanthus 

and Eranthis are fundamentally unsuitable because 

of their soil and location requirements. The 

most reliable early bloomers are various crocuses, 

dwarf iris, Puschkinia and Chionodoxa. In the flowering 

period of March/April, Muscari, daffodils and a 

very small number of tulips, as well as Hyacinthoides 

were reliable bloomers. 

The most suitable varieties are shown in the 

table below. 

– Crocus tom. Ruby Giant 

– Crocus chrys. Dorothy 

– Crocus chrys. Ard Schenk 

– Crocus vernus Queen of the Blues 

– Crocus speciosus

Hyacinths 

Hyacinths | 17 

The native habitat of “Hyacinthus orientalis“ 

is central and western Asia, for example Iran, 

Turkey, Syria and Lebanon, where they grow wild 

in the mountains at up to 2,000 m. In 1562 the 

first bulbs arrived from Iran in Padua (Italy), and 

shortly afterwards, 1568, in Holland. 

In 1612, the first hyacinth bulbs were already 

being sold by a Dutch flower bulb grower. 

In 1750, more than 2,000 different varieties 

were being cultivated by a few Dutch growers, 

and oddly enough, in 1900, most varieties had 

double flowers that are today less popular. 

Today, hyacinths are an exclusively Dutch product. 

The range comprises around 130 varieties, 

only 15 of which have double flowers. 

Thanks to their impressive growth, hyacinths 

are popular in gardens, beds, for indoor pot and 

bowl growing as well as in vases. 

Hyacinth flowers are often used as the basis 

for many perfumes.

The bulbs are placed on the soil and pressed down just slightly. The boxes containing planted bulbs 

can be kept in clamps outside or kept in cold store. In a cold store, it is necessary to make sure that 

the soil does not push the bulbs up; you can ensure this be spreading 10 cm of soil on the bulbs 

planted in boxes. After they have been planted and during growth in the greenhouse, they must 

be sufficiently watered. Recommended greenhouse temperature 19 °C, planting in boxes per net

Delivery: End of August to end of November. | E = early, M = medium-early, L = late flowering 

Tulips originally come from the Middle East and 

arrived in Europe a few centuries ago through 

the Ottomans. 

The plant’s Latin name Tulipa comes from the 

Turkish word Tulbant or Tolibant. 

The first tulip bulbs were introduced in Europe 

from Turkey in 1554 and they attracted a lot of 

attention particularly in Holland. Over time, a 

boundless number of varieties were developed, 

with a large number that are still on the market 

today being created between 1950 and 1980, in 

particular. We have a broad colour range for tulips 

today, and the height and size of the flowers, as 

well as the time of flowering, vary greatly. 

Today, tulips are very popular spring flowers and, 

depending on the species and variety, are particularly 

suitable for cutting, for beds and borders, pots, 

rockeries and natural gardens. 

Tulips like a permeable soil that is not too 

heavy, and the location should be semi-shaded 

to sunny. They do not tolerate waterlogging. 

On graves and in beds, dark soils are often used, 

which because of their high black peat content 

have an acidic effect on tulips, leading to stunted 

growth. To prevent this, the soil should be 

enriched with calcium carbonate. 

where there are problems with voles, bulbs 

should be placed in baskets. Tulips should also be 

protected from hares and rabbits. In early spring, 

you can already use a complete fertilizer. 

Today’s overbred tulip varieties have a very 

short life and should be planted anew every 

year. (This is not true of a few wild tulips.) After 

flowering, the bulb, with leaves, should be 

completely removed to prevent diseases such as 

tulip fire from becoming established in the soil. 

Furthermore, you should not plant tulips in the 

same place year after year, as this can also lead 

to tulip fire. You should change the location every 

3 to 4 years. 

Propagation from seeds or offset bulblets is 

in theory possible, but is usually not worth it 

because tulips are firstly not open-pollinated, i.e. 

they segregate out, and secondly it takes around 

7 years for the first flowers. 

In the autumn, the bulbs are planted 10 to 

15 cm deep; improve heavy soils with sand and 

Follow the “scented” 

Following numerous requests, we have 

marked those varieties with a scent (balsamic, 

sweet, light and fruity or spicy-sweet) with 

the word “scented”. 

If you would like to know more about garden 

scents, we recommend Helga Urban’s book 

“Ein Garten der Düfte”, published by BLV 

Munich / ISBN 3-405-15406-5 

Please note: 

All the characteristics, cultivation descriptions, 

flowering times and heights 

of varieties and species provided in our 

catalogues and brochures are based on experiences 

from repeated plantings during the 

main cultivation period. Earlier or later planting 

out may produce different results, as can 

the effects of the weather, soil, location and 

different types of cultivation.

Single early tulips 


This early class was produced from the “Duc van Tol” tulip, “Duc van Tol Red and Yellow” (from 1595) 

being the first variety. In 1930, 65 varieties were already available in Holland, and of those, Keizerskroon 

(1750) and General de Wet (1904) are still grown today. 

Single early tulips include the earliest varieties for forcing and outdoor growth in beds and borders 

and on graves. 

Flowering outdoors as of the start of April.

Double early tulips 


Since 1660, this group has played an important role, particularly thanks to the large, dense double 

flowers, low growing height and good durability. Most varieties were bred after 1875. By now, more 

than 130 varieties have been registered. Double early tulips are essential for forcing and garden 

design, especially for bed, border and grave-site planting. Flowers outdoors as of the end of March.

Triumph tulips 


From 1900 to 1920, in particular, single early tulips were crossed with the later-flowering Breeder, 

Mendel and Darwin tulips, resulting in the medium-early-flowering Triumph tulips with stable and 

very long-lasting flowers. 

In 1925, first varieties were shipped from Holland to America to stimulate the American market. 

Today, Triumph tulips are the most important group of all for tulip propagation in Holland. 

They are essential for forcing and excellent for gardens. Flowering outdoors as of the start of April.

Darwin hybrid tulips 


The early-flowering Fosteriana tulip “Madame Lefeber” was first crossed with the late-flowering 

Darwin tulips in 1930. Ten years later, the first varieties – all of which were either red or yellow – 

were available on the market. 

Other colours were developed in subsequent years, for example “Elisabeth Arden” (1942). In 1980, 

“Apeldoorn” (1951) was the most widely cultivated variety in Holland. Today, more than 40 sports 

of this variety have been registered, and Darwin hybrid tulips are the third most produced tulips. 

The large-flower varieties on long, strong stems are very well suited to bed and group planting.

Single late tulips 


These varieties, which are also known as “cottage tulips”, first flowered in 1750 in the gardens of 

English country houses and palaces. The late-flowering “Ingles Combe Yellow” (1906) was a very 

well-known English variety. A sport, “Princess Margaret Rose” (1944), was bred by J. Bankert from 

Enkhuizen / Holland. The breakthrough came in 1940, when many varieties still known today, such as 

“Halcro” (1949), “Maureen” (1950) and “Menton” (1971), were developed. 

The large-flower, long-stemmed varieties are ideally suited to parks and gardens, as well as cultivation 

in cold frames and open-air cutting.

Double late tulips (peony-flowering tulips) 


These late-flowering double tulips were already being cultivated in Holland in 1665. In England, 

they were called peony-flowering tulips. By 1915, just 16 varieties were registered. Later strains, 

such as “Mount Tacoma” (1924), “Uncle Tom” (1932), as well as “Wirosa” (1949), “Carneval de Nice” 

(1953), “Angelique” (1959) and “Miranda” (1981) are still cultivated today. 

The double late tulips have never been a significant group, but thanks to their impressive flowers, 

they are highly prized among garden lovers and garden designers.

Viridiflora tulips 


“Viridiflora” was discovered in around 1700 and used for many cultures. Later, after 1940, the 

“green” sports were developed as the result of crosses and mutations. Late-flowering varieties such 

as “Artist” (1945), “Groenland” (1955) and “Spring Green” (1969) are still well-known today and 

particularly popular among garden designers.

Lily-flowered tulips 


This group with its beautifully elegant flowers was created in 1840 by crossing “Tulipa acuminata” 

with “Tulipa gesneriana”. From 1935 to 1940 a few very successful strains were produced in Holland, 

for example “Aladdin” (1942), “Maytime” (1942) and “West Point” (1943), which remain important 

up to this day. 

This group is particularly appreciated by all garden lovers and garden designers. A few varieties are 

also suitable for forcing.

Parrot tulips 


Parrot tulips were described for the first time as long ago as 1630. Their characteristic petal shape 

and colouring were highly unusual. Parrot tulips are sports of normal tulip varieties. For example, 

the variety “Fantasy” (1910) was created as a sport of “Clara Butt” (1989). Very popular group of 

varieties for garden lovers and garden designers. Eminently suited to group planting and beds, but 

should only be planted in locations protected from the wind, as the heavy flowers otherwise topple 

easily.

Fosteriana tulips 


“Fosteriana Haberbauer” lived in Samarkand/Uzbekistan and collected tulips in the nearby mountains 

and then sent them to the company C.G. van Tubergen in Haarlem (Holland). These collections 

contained some of the loveliest varieties. They were registered in 1906 and named Fosteriana tulips. 

The variety “Madame Lefeber" was discovered in 1925 and subsequently used for a large number of 

crosses. This also resulted in many Darwin hybrid tulips. 

With their large flowers in bright colours, the tulips in this group are among the most elegant and 

statuesque wild tulips, with a flowering period in the open air from the end of April to mid May.

Greigii tulips 


In 1870, a large collection of wild tulips was sent from Turkestan to St.Petersburg, to Dr. August von 

Regel, who was head of the Botanical Gardens in St. Petersburg. Part of this collection was shipped 

from there to the company “van Tubergen” in Haarlem, Holland. Dr. von Regel called these tulips 

“Greigii tulips” after General S.A. Greig (plant collector and president of the Russian garden association). 

Van Tubergen and other cultivators produced many crosses. The most famous of these today are 

“Red Riding Hood”. The tulips in this group have partially grey/green leaves adorned with stripes 

and speckles.

Kaufmanniana tulips (waterlily tulips) 


In the region around Tashkent, Dr. August von Redel discovered and described the first Kaufmanniana 

tulips in 1877 and brought them to Holland. Tulips in this group are the earliest to bloom. All 

varieties were produced by crossing with the wild form Tulipa kaufmanniana. After 1935, many new 

strains were produced, including the variety “Stresa” (1942) still available today. 

Most Kaufmanniana tulips are two-coloured and open right out in the sun, while in the evening, the 

flowers close again. The leaves are striped, mottled or purely green. 

They flower in March/April.

Tulipa – various species 


Tulips originated in central Asia, where they grow in the mountains in extreme conditions such as 

drought, heat, frost and barren soil. From there, they spread to China, Siberia, Mongolia, the Himalayas, 

Kashmir, Iran and the Caucasus, as well as regions around the Black Sea, Russia, Turkey and 

the Balkans. 

After their discovery, many tulips arrived in Europe primarily from the area around the Black Sea, the 

Crimea, Caucasus and Macedonia. Wild tulips grow in around 65 countries. As early as 1593, the first 

wild tulips entered Holland via Vienna and were planted in the gardens of the University of Leiden. 

This was in fact the birth of the Dutch flower bulb industry. 

The flowering time is from March to May.

Delivery: Start of September to end of November | Flowering time: E = early, M = medium, L = late 

In glowing yellow, with a charming cheerfulness 

and grace, daffodils herald the start of spring 

each year. In addition to those commonly known 

as Lent lilies, which are a symbol of recurring life 

in central Europe, there are many other varieties, 

most of which are native to southern Europe or 

the western Mediterranean region. 

Daffodils can be used in many ways: forcing 

for cut flowers and cultivation in pots, or open-air 

planting, in particular in large public green spaces. 

Today, the largest cultivation areas are daffodils' 

traditional native homes of England and Scotland. 

Thanks to their low price, healthy quality and 

richness of flowers, English daffodils have also 

become increasingly popular here. 

Daffodils should not be planted too shallowly 

(at least 15 cm deep) to ensure that the roots 

get the moisture they need during the growth 

period; they do not favour low-nutrient soils, 

so you should, if possible, incorporate compost 

or leaf mould in the soil prior to planting. For 

naturalisation, they should be planted in irregular 

clumps far apart to provide them with enough 

space to develop. 

To ensure daffodils return year after year, make 

sure that after flowering, the leaves die down on 

the bulb, i.e. as a rule, you should not mow before 

mid June, otherwise in the next year, you will only 

have leaves and no flowers. As daffodils require 

a very long growth period for development, they 

should be planted in September where possible. 

Daffodils are native to southern Europe (Spain, 

Portugal, south west France), as well as North 

Africa (Morocco and Algeria). First descriptions 

arrived in England in the 16th century. England 

has a longer tradition than Holland in the breeding 

and propagation of daffodils (first crosses 

took place as early as 1835). In 1890, the variety 

“King Alfred” entered the market in England, 

and is still one of the most widely-grown of all 

daffodils, even though it is currently no longer 

produced. 

Very well-known English breeders included 

William Backhouse, Peter Barr, P.D. Williams, 

Guy Wilson and Lionel Richardson. One very wellknown 

variety was e.g. “Van Sion” from 1620. 

In 1872, De Graaff Bros in Noordwijk was 

the first Dutch company to take an interest in 

daffodils. By 1980, more than 26,000 types and 

varieties were registered in the UK, Ireland, Holland 

and the USA, although only about 1,000 are 

of real importance. With around 600 hectares, 

the variety “Tête à Tête” is currently the most 

cultivated daffodil in Holland, which has a total 

growing area of 1570 hectares.

Daffodils – continued 

Daffodils are classified into divisions 1 to 13. The 

colours are described by letter combinations. 

Explanation of numbers and letters used for in 

conjunction with the variety names: 

The number in front of the letters is the division 

to which the variety belongs. 

Div. 11: Trumpet daffodils 

(corona as long as or longer than the 

length of the perianth segments/petals) 

Div. 12: Large-cupped daffodils 

(corona longer than ⅓ of the perianth 

segments, but less than equal to their 

length) 

Div. 13: Small-cupped daffodils 

(corona less than ⅓ the length of the 

perianth segments) 

Div. 14: Double daffodils 

Div. 15: Triandrus daffodils 

Div. 16: Cyclamineus daffodils 

Div. 17: Jonquilla daffodils 

Div. 18: Tazetta daffodils 

Div. 19: Poeticus daffodils 

Div. 10: Species daffodils 

Div. 11: Split corona daffodils 

(split corona, orchid-flowering or butterfly 

daffodils) 

Div. 12 + 13: 

Daffodils that do not belong to one of 

the aforementioned groups 

Explanation of letters: 

The first letter directly after the number describes 

the colour of the perianth/petals. 

The letters after the hyphen describe the colour 

of the trumpet or corona, which is split into 3 

parts: 

1. The centre or eye (the base part of the trumpet 

or corona) is defined by the 1st letter 

2. The main/middle region of the corona is defined 

by the 2nd letter 

3. The edge (top part of the corona) is defined 

by the 3rd letter 

The letters have the following meanings: 

O orange 

Y yellow 

W white 

P pink 

R red 

G green 

Example: The description of ACTAEA, for example, 

is: 

9 for the group Poeticus 

W for the white perianth/petals 

G for the green centre in the corona 

Y for the yellow region in the middle of the corona 

R for the red rim of the corona 

Written in sequence, this produces the following 

code: 9W-GYR

Our tip: 

There is much to recommend 

daffodils. They are hardy, 

tough and perennial, and 

multiply well. 

After flowering, do not cut 

back the leaves immediately 

or tie them up. Like small 

solar panels, the leaves of 

the daffodil collect sunlight 

and store is as energy in the 

bulb. If the leaves are removed 

too early or are tied 

up, the leave surface is not 

able to collect the sunlight, 

and as a result, the plant 

produces no or very weak 

flowers the next year.

Crocus | 79 

Crocus 

Alongside snowdrops, crocus are the most 

well-known of the spring flowers. There are 

spring-flowering varieties such as the large-flowered 

garden crocus, or botanical crocus, which 

have smaller flowers and bloom earlier. And 

there are the less well-known autumn crocus, 

botanical crocus that flower from September 

until November, while the spring varieties bloom 

from February to March. 

There are now more than 80 varieties, in a 

whole range of colours. Crocus are particularly 

good for rockeries, pots, flower beds, borders 

and natural gardens, as well as for naturalising, 

with botanical crocus such as tommasinianus 

being particularly well-suited thanks 

to their earliness. Crocus can only be mown once 

the leaves on the bulb have completely died 

down, otherwise they produce only leaves, but 

no flowers, in the following year. 

Crocus thrive in fresh, humus-rich soils in sunny 

or slightly shaded locations. If voles are a problem, 

plant in wire cages. 

Crocus Large Flowering – Crocus vernus 


Delivery from end of August to end of November. 

These very well-known spring flowers bring the magic of spring to a grey winter garden. 

Thanks to their plentiful blooms, crocus are ideal for rock gardens, naturalisation in lawns and for 

underplanting below deciduous trees and shrubs.

Flower bulbs for naturalisation 


They can be used in many different ways: in lawns — in parks — between and below trees and shrubs 

— in borders — in tubs and flower boxes — in water gardens and rockeries 

A few tips on caring for your plants: 

Flower bulbs that flower year on year do not need 

much care. However, the vegetation they are 

combined with must be well cared for. 

The following can have an adverse effect, for 

example: mowing over the leaves too early (on 

the lawn), the removal of leaves that have fallen 

from trees or shrubs, incorrect use of chemicals, 

stepping on the borders too often and loosening 

the soil when the bulbs are redeveloping. 

To avoid disappointment, follow the guidelines 

below: 

1. Unpack the bulbs as soon as they arrive. If you 

cannot plant the bulbs immediately, store 

them in a cool, dry and dark place. Ensure 

there is sufficient ventilation. Plants such 

as Anemone, Fritillaria, Lilie, Erythronium 

dens canis, Eranthis hyemalis and Leucojum 

vernum must be prevented from drying out. 

2. If tulips are planted in a border year on year, 

mould may occur in the soil. Therefore remove 

the top layer (25 cm) of soil or treat the 

soil with Rhizolex before planting new tulip 

bulbs. If you redesign the green spaces, the 

best solution is possibly to move the borders. 

to improve the structure by adding coarse 

sand or garden peat. The optimum pH value 

for flower bulbs is around 6.5. 

4. Fertilising is not essential, but may be advisable 

in some cases, above all in new borders 

and beds and if the soil structure is not ideal. 

In this case, you can apply basic fertilisation 

of 2 kg 12 N — 10 P — 18 K per 100 square metres 

or dig in rotten organic fertiliser prior to 

planting. Each year when the spring bloomers 

come up, lime is added in many places with 

no further fertilisation. Basic fertilisation is 

needed for summer bloomers. 

5. Bulbous plants do well in places where grass 

and herbs fail to thrive as a result of too 

little light or woody plant roots. In this case, 

working (digging over or loosening) the soil 

is not advised, as this encourages weeds 

to put down roots. On new terrain where 

root-spreading weeds dominate, they must 

first be destroyed before the bulbous plants 

can be planted as the latter do not fare well 

against competition. 

3. Where possible, do not plant bulbs in soil that 

is too moist, even if some do tolerate moist 

soil. Provide good drainage. Bulbs do not 

grow deep roots. The soil must therefore be 

able to retain moisture well. You may be able

6. Plant flower bulbs deep enough, at least 

twice the height of the bulb. If they are 

planted too deep, growth, flowering and maturing 

are delayed in the first year. However, 

the parts below ground have more room to 

develop and are better protected thanks to 

the thicker coverage. If you have very heavy 

loamy soil, it is advisable to add a top layer 

with a light structure; the ground should in 

any case be covered. 

7. Plant before the first frost and not too late in 

the year. The first frosts at night are harmless 

as long as the ground is still able to thaw 

before the winter really begins. Bulbs root 

best at a temperature of between 5° and 10 

°C over several weeks. As soon as the bulbs 

are well-rooted, the plants can tolerate frost 

well and additional covering is not necessary. 

Camassia, a few allium varieties and the 

earliest Cyclamineus daffodils are the most 

sensitive to frost. Summer-flowering plants 

are planted in April/May. 

only mow after the leaves have sufficiently 

died off (in principle, 6 weeks after flowering). 

If you need to keep the grass short, 

plant somewhat later-flowering bulbs along 

the edge or, if possible, in groups, so that you 

can mow around these plants. 

9. Apply chemicals sparingly and target their 

use. In the growth period, in particular, 

flower bulbs do not tolerate much in the way 

of pesticides. 

10. If you have created groups of bulbous plants, 

you can separate these after a few years. This 

stimulates growth, for example among Galanthus, 

daffodils, anemones and crocuses. After 

a few years, you can till the soil to stimulate 

regrowth on plants that form rootstock. 

8. If the bulbs are planted in lawns, you should

Allium Stipitatum 

OP 250 for bulb sorts 4/+ to 14/+ | All are from cultivated stocks. 

OP 50 for bulb sorts 16/+ to 20/+ | All are from cultivated stocks. 

The Allium genus comprises around 800 species 

that were originally native to central Asia, Chile, 

Brazil and tropical Africa, where large populations 

still grow in their natural habitat. 

Allium belong to the family of leeks and onions, 

the most well-known of which include the common 

onion (Allium cepa), chive (Allium schönoprasum), 

garlic (Allium sativum) and wild garlic 

(Allium ursinum), which have long been an integral 

part of our cuisine. 

Allium species thrive in permeable, chalky soil 

without waterlogging and prefer a sunny spot. 

Allium are an attractive feature of wild gardens 

and flower beds when planted in groups of 5 or 

more bulbs. 

The bulbs can remain in the ground undisturbed 

for years. They should only be dug up and separated 

if they have grown together too much. 

Tomato or rose fertilisers rich in potassium and 

phosphates have proved successful on alliums 

since they promote growth and the formation of 

flowers. Fertilisers high in nitrogen, on the other 

hand, promote leaf growth, which is good for 

grasses, but undesirable for alliums. 

Our assortment does not contain the spice 

plants (which as a rule are grown from seed); 

instead, we offer the ornamental onions. These 

vary in height from 10 cm to an impressive 2 m. 

The varieties with umbels come into their own in 

rockeries and ornamental gardens, while the varieties 

that develop spherical clusters of flowers 

up to 20 cm large are a real eye-catcher in gardens 

and herbaceous borders.

Anemone Coronaria – single (Ranunculaceae) 

OP 50 and 250 bulbs | Delivery all year round 

Anemone are perennial, herbaceous plants from the Ranunculaceae family. They are found primarily 

in moderate northern regions. The plants often have long, hairy stalks enabling wind-based pollination. 

Many types of anemone are very popular and well-known garden plants, in particular Anemone 

coronaria, the large-flower Turkish anemone also known as the poppy anemone. It forms a tuberous 

root with divided, parsley-like leaves and large flower that resembles a poppy. Anemone grow best 

in loamy soil, if possible incorporate high-function fertiliser/manure among the bulbs. 

Allow bulbs to soak in lukewarm water for around 12 hours prior to planting as this helps the plant 

to root and proliferate. Cultivation in the open air and early forcing under glass are both possible.

These bulbous plants native to America like the sun, but also tolerate light semi-shade. They grow 

best in dry locations and like a light, humus-rich, loamy soil mixed with sand, as well as a well-drained 

subsoil as they do not tolerate clogged soil. Winter coverage required, plant 5—6 cm deep.

Calochortus Cupido ® 


A bulbous plant with long panicles and star-shaped flowers on long, robust stems. Suitable for cutting 

and naturalising. Camassia species are easy to look after, relatively frost-resistant, but coverage 

against frost is advisable in the first year. They perform best in soil that is not too dry, e.g. on a 

stream bank, where they can naturalise undisturbed. Sun or light shade. Separation in early autumn 

is only advisable if they are very crowded. 

Our tip:

Cyclamen / Dichelostemma 


Cyclamen (Primulaceae) 

OP 50 bulbs | Delivery start of August | Note the regulations relating to species conservation 

Cyclamen were one of the very first plants on our earth. There are around 17 species native to 

southern central Europe and the Mediterranean region. In their habitat, most of the species grow in 

semi-shaded spots in front of rock faces, among foliage and in coniferous woods, and often also in 

gravel under moderate sun. 

Cyclamen need a semi-shaded location, well-draining, humus-rich, chalky soil. After planting, the 

bulbs should be covered by just 3 - 5 cm of soil. In winter, cover to protect against frost and cold 

winds. For them to multiply well, the plants should remain in the same place over years. If you leave 

the autumn foliage and use it as mulch, fertilising is practically unnecessary.

Winter aconites like a semi-shaded spot protected from the wind. They also thrive in sun, provided 

it does not get too hot. They do well in deep garden soils. Apart from Eranthis cilicica, which prefers 

a chalky soil, they also like a sandy, humusy earth, as long as it stays fresh and cannot dry out too 

much. Before planting in late summer, soak the anemone-like tubers in water over night, then plant 

5-7 cm deep 8-10 cm apart and cover them with compost or earth mixed with fertiliser. Do not allow 

to dry out in the spring. You can replant or divide larger clusters immediately after flowering. To 

avoid damaging the roots, do not shake off the soil clinging to them. Flowering: February to March

They are the earliest spring bloomers in the late-winter garden, like damp but well-drained soil and 

are preferably planted in clumps. Prepare the earth well down to 20 cm as their roots grow deep 

and they do not tolerate shallow planting, plant 10 cm deep. Do not cover Galanthus with compost 

or fertiliser, because a too nutrient-rich substrate adversely affects the bloom and the plant only 

develops strong, green foliage. Do not fertilise later either.

Best Dutch quality bulbs, large flowers, eager to bloom, strong growth. 

Hippeastrum hybrids, commonly known as amaryllis, are among the most splendid and beautiful 

winter-flowering plants. The original forms of the Hippeastrum cultivated today originate from the 

Andes in Peru. 

They are bulbous plants with long, strap-shaped leaves, a thick, tubular stem and a large inflorescence 

with up to four flowers in an umbel. The plants grow to a height of 60-100 cm.

Cultivation tip: 

When you receive the bulbs, place the roots in lukewarm 

water for a few hours. Then plant the Amaryllis 

bulbs in pots of nutrient-rich earth so that one third 

of the bulb is above the soil line and you have 5cm 

from the soil surface to the top of the pot. The remaining 

water must be able to drain well. A layer of 

expanded clay on the bottom of the pot provides 

drainage to prevent the roots from rotting. Make 

sure that the roots are not damaged. After potting, 

place in a light spot at a temperature of 20-25 °C, so 

that the heat can rise, for example on a mantelpiece 

or above a radiator. Water sparingly until the stalk is 

visible. Only water more often, but still in moderation, 

when the bud and foliage are visible. 

If the bulb is untreated, the flower lasts for about 10 

weeks; turn the pot frequently to obtain a straight 

stalk. Amaryllis can grown in regular potting soil 

and hydroculture. 

After flowering, cut the stalk down to 5 cm above the 

bulb, continue to water and fertilise with a conventional 

fertiliser until September. The bulbs are then 

dormant for 8 to 10 weeks (maturing), store in a cool 

and dark place. Then cut off the remaining leaves and 

slowly start watering again as of December, further 

cultivation as before. 

Please note: 

Fertilise around once a week, but not until the 

plant starts to flower.

Note the regulations relating to species conservation. 

Leucojum varieties like a fresh, moist and nutrient-rich, humusy soil in a shaded to sunny location. 

They also cope well with heavy soils, which should however be enriched with compost. If you intend 

to plant in a lawn, make sure that the foliage dies off before mowing, as with all other flower bulbs.

Lilium 


Lilium (Liliaceae) 

OP 50 bulbs | Delivery from August 

Ipheion and Muscari are good for marking the location of lilies, because their shoots come earlier. 

candidum, [1753] pure white Madonna lily, 

scented. The Madonna lily loves heavy to 

semi-heavy chalky soil, preferably loamy soil, 

but also grows in lighter soils if these remain 

sufficiently fresh. It needs space to grow 

upwards and a shady base, experts regard it as 

choosy and temperamental. Shallow planting: a 

few centimetres over the bulb is sufficient. The 

Madonna lily is the only lily to be planted so 

close to the surface. After flowering, the leaves 

die off, with new shoots following in September, 

and it is therefore advisable to cover the 

winter-green foliage with leaves, fir or pine 

brushwood. August would also be the right 

time to replant, but the Madonna lily is often 

sensitive to this, so if it is growing well it should 

be left where it is. 

H = 100 cm, FT: VI-VII, scented 55 86 00 20/22 

Lilium candidum 

Lilium for open-air cultivation 

Lilium need sufficient moisture but do not tolerate waterlogging; they thrive particularly 

well between low-growing perennials. Lily bulbs consist of tile-like segments, which form perennial 

roots, or one-year stem-roots, on the base of the bulb just under the surface of the ground. Well-matured 

bulbs can be planted in the autumn or the spring. The soil should be humus-rich, slightly acidic 

(pH 6.0) and well-draining. In these conditions, they tolerate winter wet to a limited degree. If planted 

in the autumn, the soil should be lightly covered after planting. Lilium can remain in the ground 

for years. If their ability to bloom starts to wane, well-matured bulbs should be replanted.

Lilium for forcing 


Lilies need sufficient moisture but do not tolerate 

waterlogging; they thrive particularly well 

between low-growing perennials. 

There are around 100 kinds of lily and they are 

native to Europe, Asia and North America. A huge 

range has developed as a result of breeding and 

crosses. 

Lily bulbs consist of tile-like segments, which 

form perennial roots, or one-year stem-roots, on 

the base of the bulb just under the surface of the 

ground. Well-matured bulbs can be planted in 

the autumn or the spring. The soil should be humus-rich, 

slightly acidic (pH 6.0) and well-draining. 

In these conditions, they tolerate winter wet 

to a limited degree. If planted in the autumn, the 

soil should be lightly covered after planting. 

Lilium can remain in the ground for years. If their 

ability to bloom starts to wane, well-matured 

bulbs should be replanted. 

Lilies for forcing: 

14-day delivery in even calendar weeks. Please 

observe a pre-order period of 14 days. Minimum 

order quantity of 100 per type and size, for orders 

up to 31st December in a year. 

Usually, lilies for forcing and year-round delivery 

are prepared and frozen in quantities of 300 per 

type and size. Orders for smaller quantities must 

therefore reach us by 31st December so that we 

can put together and freeze the orders. 

Orders we receive after 1st January can only be 

delivered in quantities of 300 per type and size. 

To cover the demand for small quantities for orders 

after 1st January, we have put together an 

assortment of 250 lilies size 14/16 in 5 colours (50 

bulbs per colour), art. no. 51 20 00,, which can be 

found on page 149. 

We have reserved a sufficient number of assortments 

in stock for you. 

Please place orders as early as possible and taking 

account of the delivery times for lilies for forcing.

Tips for growing lilies 

– Open the boxes or bags as soon as they arrive. 

– Optimum planting temperature: ± 5 °C 

– If immediate planting is not possible, keep as 

cool as possible (2 °C). 

– Planting depth: 10-15 cm in the summer, 58 cm 

in the winter 

– In the first week after planting, the temperature 

must not rise above 15 °C. It is important 

to ensure the correct light intensity, ventilation, 

soil quality and temperature. No bright 

sunlight (shade, but not with black sheeting 

or similar). The temperature can be well-regulated 

through ventilation. Do not let the air 

humidity fall too low. 

– The earth must have a good structure and be 

well-draining. A covering layer of 10 cm peat 

or 1 cm straw is recommended. 

– The temperature must not exceed 20 °C (provide 

ventilation). 

– Slow (cool) forcing leads to better quality. 

Wire mesh is recommended as support.
