Delft Blue mix

Delfts Blue

This mixture takes its name from the famous blue-and-white pottery that was once very popular. Today, early pollinators such as bees and bumblebees can benefit from its early flowering. With purple and white crocuses and puschkinia among its species, this mixture provides nectar and pollen in early spring, while local residents can also enjoy its colourful display.

• Bee-friendly
• Early spring flowering

Location and soil

Delfts Blue mix performs best in fertile, humus-rich and well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. A position with sufficient spring sunlight encourages abundant flowering. It is important that the soil does not remain wet for long periods of time, allowing the bulbs to develop well and flower again each spring.

Application

This mix is suitable for a range of green spaces where early spring colour is desired. Crocuses and puschkinia create a colourful and natural spring display from February to March. The early flowers also provide valuable food for bees and other pollinators. The bulbs are suitable for naturalising and under the right conditions, can return every year. Creating a lively spring display that gradually becomes an integral part of the landscape.
