Inspiration collection of 40 small, white spring-flowering bulbs

This Inspiration collection of small spring bulbs with white flowers brings together 40 spring-flowering bulbs. The small daisy-like flowers of the Greek anemone mix with the clusters of muscari and the sweet spikes of the hyacinth. These easy-to-grow small bulbs form low and flowering carpets from the first warm days, between March and May, faithfully return each year and multiply spontaneously over the years. An elegant and bright touch for borders, rockeries, and planters! Plant in partial shade or in the sun, in ordinary but well-drained soil.

This Inspiration collection consists of:

x 15 Anemone blanda 'White Splendour': its delicate foliage somewhat resembles parsley, it is dark green, finely cut, and strongly toothed. It sometimes appears as early as March, depending on the climate, at the same time as the flowers fade, then disappears in autumn, sometimes in the middle of summer if the soil is dry.

x 20 Muscari aucheri 'White Magic': a horticultural variety, rarer than the blue form, producing small clusters of pure white, fragrant pearls before the appearance of foliage. The foliage dries out some time after flowering, then disappears.

x 5 Hyacinthus orientalis 'Carnegie': one of the whitest varieties, but also one of the most deliciously fragrant. Each bulb produces a dense spike filled with sweetly scented flowers, between late March and early May, very noticeable when the flower is warmed by the sun's rays. Its flowers last for 3 weeks in the ground, and up to 2 weeks in a vase!

The plants are labelled separately.

Plant the tubers of the anemones and the bulbs of the muscari and hyacinths in large groups, mixing them along the edge of a lawn, at the base of hedges, in a rockery, or under deciduous bushes. You can also create beautiful planters with this collection. The essential thing is that the plants receive sunlight in spring. A light shade is not harmful to flowering since bulbs are dormant at this time of year. Perfectly hardy, these plants are easy to grow in moderately moist soils and well-suited to dry soils in summer, even rocky ones.

These white flowers work wonders under trees and shrubs with spring flowering, especially under Ornamental Crabapple Trees, Flowering Cherry Trees, and Star Magnolias.
