“Klass II” means the bulbs are not the greatest quality. We strive to always buy bulbs of the highest quality possible. Unfortunately some varieties generally have smaller bulbs and a bad season can have an impact on the bulb’s quality and size. These bulbs are smaller in size and/or not as nice as the others, but we’ve handpicked the ones that should have the same conditions to sprout as our other bulbs. The size of the bulbs are big enough that it doesn’t affect the size or quality of the plant or the bloom. As long as the bulbs can sprout, it will grow!

A variety from 2004 by P.K.J. Smits from the Netherlands. A sport from Cornel. Alternate spelling: Cornel Brons.
