Spring order

Hybridized by Cor Geerlings from the Netherlands in 1997.

Our cuttings are rooted early, and therefore have time to form tubers by autumn. They also flower faster than if you buy tubers because they have already started growing. Before we send out the cuttings, we ensure that they look healthy and that they have a well-established root system in an 11cm pot.

“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!
