Want all the flowers that embody spring wrapped into one? Buy the Dutch Garden Blend Bulbs (Tulipa 'Showwinner', Narcissus 'Tete A Tete', Iris reticulata) and enjoy! Featuring a lovely blend of fiery red Tulips, yellow Daffodils, and velvety purple Iris!

Showwinner Tulip is a stunning Kaufmanniana Tulip variety with vibrant orange and red blooms that show up early in the season with their cuppy silken petals! The Tete-a-Tete Miniature Daffodil is a showy lemony Narcissus, and lastly, a showy pop of purple with the Iris reticulata and its butterfly-like purple petals with a bright yellow splash!

Fragrant, showy, and blooming throughout the spring weeks, this is a gorgeous mixture that brings the best of the spring season to your doorstep! Great for sunny landscapes throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8, this bulb blend includes dozens of Tulip and Narcissus bulbs and dozens of Iris rhizomes for you to either mix this Dutch Garden Blend up at the time of planting or separate the bulb types to plant the species separately.

Planting and Application:

Fill a full sun Rock Garden, romantic Cottage garden, or mixed perennial border in wave after wave of bold color! Try digging a wide row along the front of your garden or along a pathway and plant the Daffodils to the front, the Iris in the middle, and the Tulips in the back.

Or enjoy the prettiest form of chaos and create groupings of all the types of this Dutch Garden Blend bunched together! The long strappy, slender green leaves will meld beautifully as each type of flower takes its turn showing off!

Not just in the ground, but seasonal and perennial container gardens can bring a bold color mixture to your porches and patios! Try creating a mixed seasonal container with clusters of these spring Dutch Garden ephemerals planted together for a randomized mix of primary color and eye-catching form! The butterflies will be thrilled and you will fill your Cut Flower gardens with the brightest colors of the season!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

These hardy perennial flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall, and all have the same growing condition needs and generally the same planting needs too! Plant Tulip and Daffodil bulbs about 3x their length deep, and plant Iris rhizomes closer to the surface of the soil. They actually do well having the top portion of their rhizome exposed, but you can cover these in a light layer of arborist mulch for heat and chill protection.

Plant these Dutch Garden Blend bulbs in a location with full sun access in well-drained soil so the bulbs do not rot. Provide moderate, yet regular water throughout the establishment period and during hot summers as long as the bulbs foliage is green.

Deadhead after the flowers fade, sometimes encouraging a rebloom, but leave the foliage to make food for the bulbs. Then once the leaves turn yellow, trim them back to the ground.
