The items on these two pages are to help those who are having trouble making up their minds; OR for those who

COLLECTIONS
(Each item is bagged separately and labeled)
When one item in a collection becomes
unavailable, we reserve the right to give you an
alternate that is similar.
�Brent and Becky’s Daffodil Favorites
We have so many favorites that we couldn’t possibly
put all of them in this collection, but we chose ten that
we think are very special. 5 each of ‘Marieke’, ‘accent’, ‘tahiti’,
‘Petrel’, ‘Jetfire’, ‘curlew’, ‘avalanche’, Poeticus recurvus,
‘sun Disc’, anD ‘hawera’ – 50 bulbs!
#47-0101 1/$50.90
Half Pint Collection
There are tons of places to tuck special little bulbs in
the garden - in the pockets of tree trunks; rock gardens;
fronts of borders; along a pathway; in a raised bed closer
to eye level; and the list goes on. We’ve put together a
collection just for this purpose. If you plant them all in
the same area, that special spot will stay colorful for a
long period of time. We suggest that you plant them
where you’ll see them easily. (10 each of c. tommasinianus;
i. hist. ‘george’; n. ‘hawera’; t. turkestanica; iPheion
uniFlorum; m. armeniacum ‘Blue sPike’) 60 bulbs.

Shade Garden
Since most spring flowering bulbs grow best in full sun,
we thought it might be helpful to suggest some that are
happy and even prefer the shade:
5 arum italicum; 10 allium triquetrum; 5 hyacinthoides
‘white city’; 10 chionodoxa ForBesii; 10 ornithogalum
nutans; 10 crocus tommasinianus.

MIXTURES
(Very nice for mixes; possibly unlabeled but always
intentional groupings)
Rhapsody in Blue
Little blue flowers that we adore planting in our lawn.
We plant enough to create a ‘river’ which meanders and
flows from one end of the yard to the other! So easy to
plant with a little trowel
and the ‘stab–pull–
drop’ method; 10 each
of 6 items, fills ~15-20
sq. ft. (Remember to
cut the grass at the
very highest setting
the first few times to
allow the bulb’s foliage
to mature so they’ll
bloom next year).

Combination Gardens create wonderful scenes
in the garden with different textures, colors, forms
and bloom times. If you can’t find what you’re
looking for on these pages, please go to our web
site, click on the Spring/Fall catalogue and then
select HELP and then SEARCH&BULBFINDER. You
can choose a color, bloom time, or height and
many other parameters that will help you create
your very own combination garden!
Perennial Daffodil Mixture
We think daffodils are one
of the most cost effective
perennial plants, but some
are more perennial than
others. This mixture, not
of leftovers, but of up to 25
cultivars chosen because
they have been long-term
rebloomers for us in our
Perennial Daffodil Mixture trials; fills ~ 25 sq. ft..
#47-0110 100/$72 500/$290
Perennial Tulip Mixture
Some do not think of tulips
as perennials, but if they don’t
get eaten, some really are!
Even in our zone 7b climate,
there are some that have rebloomed
for us for many years.
Different colors, shapes and
sizes for your garden; 25 different
types filling ~25 sq. ft..

Cool Harmony Mix
Our Babes (fragrant seedling mix)
We have been hybridizing daffodils for a long time (spreading
pollen and helping the development of new daffodil
cultivars). We were always told we should never favor one
‘child over another’, but in the case of our ‘daffodil children’,
we must! We have selected
about 50 of the ‘best of the
best’ to introduce, but SO
many of the others are still
beautiful flowers and wonderful
growers - too good to
discard! So rather than throw
them away, we are offering
them here as a seedling mix.
There will be many lovely
surprises for you to discover!

Spectrum Fragrant Mix
A group of excellent
growers who call
themselves ‘Spectrum’
have been licensed to
grow our introduced
daffodil hybrids. Because
of popular demand
in Europe, Spectrum
has created a mix
Spectrum Fragrant Mix
of our fragrant hybrids
including spicy, fruity,
and sweet scents in a spectrum of whites, yellows, oranges,
reds and pinks. We know you will enjoy them in your garden
and arrangements; fills ~ 25 sq. ft..
