Top Quality, Top Size Bulbs Flower Bulb Specialists Since 1868
Dear Valued Customer
Welcome to de Jager’s new Spring Catalogue, with its vast array of bulbs to choose from, including many which are rarer and more difficult to source. Each new gardening season can become an exciting adventure, so as well as all your old favourites, this catalogue also offers a range of lesser known bulbs to bring new interest and excitement to your garden. Again, I would urge you to order early to avoid disappointment: the weather and therefore the harvests can be unpredictable, and there is always the chance of encountering shortages of some bulbs.
You might like to try the elegant and hardy Chasmanthe (p.35), tall Galtonia at the back of the border (p.37), or beautiful Tigridia (p.45).
For the first time, we are also introducing ‘bulbs in the green’. These bulbs are already shooting, and arrive in growth and already reaching towards the light.
Strong roots establish quicker, and flowering comes earlier. ‘Bulbs in the green’ can offer timely success to seasoned gardeners and beginners alike, because growth is visible from the moment you place each plant in the soil.
This catalogue also lists a brand-new collection of potted spring bulbs. You may find you need a splash of colour and, in some cases, fragrance, on a windowsill, a doorstep or a balcony. There are 14 choices available to help brighten up any small space.
This catalogue brings exciting news for lovers of summer flowers! We now offer 150 Dahlia varieties, in a tapestry of unique features, shapes and colours: velvety dinner-plate blooms, playful pompoms, or cactus flowers with bold flare; soft pastels, vivid jewel shades, or rich sunset tones.
Dahlias can be planted in borders, in raised beds, on balconies, and in pots of every size. Every de Jager Dahlia is a joyful burst of colour, and with so many varieties, you have endless ways to create heartwarming displays.
Our bulbs carry a reputation which even crosses the ocean! Earlier this year, QVC in the United States invited me to present a popular selection of varieties from this catalogue. Viewers across America welcomed this with open arms, and orders exceeded all expectations. QVC USA has now invited de Jager to present five more shows in the spring, clearly demonstrating their appreciation for quality and value.
de Jager remain proud to contribute to those charities creating gardens for people who need them the most. Horatio’s Garden establishes outdoor spaces for people with spinal injuries, gentle sanctuaries of fresh air, fragrance, and calm movement; whilst Greenfingers builds gardens for young people with lifelimiting illness, giving each child and their parents a chance to be outdoors, feel the sunshine, see buds open and watch the butterflies. Gardens can bring strength, settlement and peace, and de Jager is delighted to be able to support these essential charitable foundations.
As usual the front cover of this catalogue features another fine illustration, this time based on Dahlia Edinburgh (pages 10 & 11) which we specially commissioned from Beatrice Brandt Goodden.
In 2026, we celebrate 158 years of serving gardeners. Since 1868, our success has been built on reliability, loyalty and trust. Generations plant de Jager bulbs. Family borders are filled with nerines, irises, begonias, paeonies, lilies, gladioli and more. de Jager bulbs adorn royal gardens, grand estates, city terraces, village lawns, tiny balconies, allotments, and cottage borders. Every bulb represents years of skill, care, and knowledge, and in planting them, you are taking part in a tradition which stretches back over decades and is more enduring than any fashion. Every gardener deserves rewarding results, and even the tiniest corner can be transformed into a place which draws the eye and lifts the spirit.
Thank you for your orders, for sharing your photos, writing letters, sending kind words, and returning year after year. Your loyalty is an inspiration and keeps this heritage alive. And we trust that the bulbs in this catalogue will continue to bring you beauty and joy in the coming year.
My warmest wishes,
George Clowes

DAHLIAS - SET THE TONE IN MID-SUMMER
Dahlias are much prized for cutting and they are very decorative in the garden. The Dahlias we offer are in the form of tubers, and from mid March onwards TOP QUALITY FIELD-GROWN TUBERS will be despatched in polythene bags, in which they may be safely kept until planting time, stored in a cool place. Dahlias thrive in rich soil, and an application of well rotted manure is most beneficial. During dry weather water liberally. Plant 60-75 cm apart each way. Protect from slugs.
ANEMONE FLOWERING DAHLIAS

P. de Jager & Sons Limited have been selling top quality, top size bulbs for over 158 years. We cannot overemphasise the importance of size. Top size bulbs really do make a huge difference both in terms of flowering and naturalisation.
Smaller size bulbs will be less expensive but the results will be very noticeably inferior.
In order to illustrate the contrast in size, we have photographed a de Jager Amaryllis bulb beside one purchased from a garden centre. You can see the difference! All de Jager top bulb sizes are published in our catalogues.

PICTORIAL MEADOWS MIXTURES
These Meadow Mixtures are carefully blended seed mixes of native and non-native hardy species, designed to provide high quality flowering displays. They have been developed following several years of intensive trials at the University of Sheffield. Unlike other mixes that are available, they will flower and provide visual interest over an extremely long period of time (from summer through to late autumn) and are formulated to produce a succession of flowering species.
They inject drama into large-scale commercial landscapes and create sparkling, complex and intricate pictures in the very smallest of spaces. They provide a colourful, wildlife-friendly replacement for mown grass; they can be sown formally in beds or to provide colour between shrubs, trees and perennials. Leeds City Council included a meadow mixture in their magnificent Gold Medal winning garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2010, and these mixtures have been used extensively in the Olympic Park.
Sow the Annual seed mixes at a rate of 2-3g per square metre in the spring - March, April or May - and they will produce superb colour displays within 8 weeks or so of sowing. The Perennial seed mixes all contain over 20 species of plants, and should be sown at a rate of 2g per square metre (except Purple Haze – 3g per sq. m.) from early autumn to late spring, with October/November being the best for medium to large scale plantings. Once established the meadow can be managed simply with an annual cut in late February.

Q. Is there any grass seed content?
The original Pictorial Meadows mix is illustrated in the main picture opposite (taken at The Eden Project) and produces stunning displays right through until late October/November. Starting out with white, blues, pinks and reds, the tapestry turns to reds, orange and yellow in the autumn. The mix has been carefully balanced for colour and succession of flowering, and components include: Shirley Poppy, Californian Poppy, Cornflower, Fairy Toadflax, Tickseed, Red Orache and Larkspur.
A carefully selected mix of pretty cornfield annuals that will flower mainly in July and August, including: Field Poppy, Cornflower, Scentless Mayweed and Corncockle.
A mix suited especially to more restricted or compact situations, but having the same long-flowering characteristics of the standard mixture; components include: Fairy Toadflax, Red Flax, Shirley Poppy, Love-inamist, Candytuft and Blue Flax.
Restful and harmonious, this mix contains flowering meadow species of cool blues, whites, mauves and purple. Over a long season, the display includes: Salvia Annual Sage, Desert Bluebell, Cornflower, Echium Blue Bedder and Baby Blue Eyes.
A flowering meadow with a very long season, and complex and subtle colour combinations throughout the year. Also perfect for narrow borders and edges. Includes: Carthusian Pink, Dianthus carthusianorum, Hard Fescue, Festuca longifolia, Maltese Cross, Lychnis chalcedonica, Vipers Bugloss and Echium vulgare.
A warm, vibrant mixture for normal fertility soils. Mostly yellows and golds with white, hints of orange and flashes of later purples, our most popular perennial mix performs best in free-draining, sunny spots. Includes: Blackeyed Susan, Rudbeckia hirta, Sea Holly, Eryngium planum, Yarrow, Achillea millefolium, Yellow Ox Eye, Buphthalmum salicifolium.
A beautiful, cool, elegant combination for normal fertility soils, this mix will perform quite happily in semi-shade. Predominantly mauve and blue with billows of white and flashes of purple. Includes: Michaelmas Daisy, Greater Knapweed, Field Scabious, Wild Carrot, Perennial Flax, Purple Coneflower, Ox-eye Daisy and Columbine.
A gorgeous, robust and very richly coloured carpet designed for a long flowering season on normal fertility soils. Includes: Field Scabious, Knautia arvensis, Great Burnet, Sanguisorba offcinalis, Meadow Cranesbill and Geranium Pratense.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A. There is no grass content to the mixes. Don’t mix with grass as it will kill off the flowers.
Q. Can I just scatter the flowers over existing grass to create a meadow effect?
A. Unfortunately not - the seeds have to be sown on bare soil.
Q. Will the annual mixes self-seed?
A. Only some of the species in the annual mixes will. To get the same effect you have to resow each year.
Q. Will birds eat the seed ?
A. No, they are too small for them to notice.
Q. Will the mixes work in Sandy/Chalky/Clay soil ?
A. Yes. They will work on all types of soil, but for these mixes, the better the soil the better the result.
Q. Do I need to water the seeds if it doesn’t rain once I’ve sown them?
A. For annuals no there is usually enough rain eventually and if you over-water they could rot before they germinate. However, if there is prolonged drought after you have sown then you could try watering once a week. Perennials are more demanding and we recommend irrigation in Spring.
Q. Will the mixes work in shady areas?
A. Yes, but the mixes do need sunshine at some point during the day.
Q. Can I combine the annual and perennial seed mixes?
A. We don’t recommend this, as each seed mix is carefully formulated to produce a specific result.
Q. How long will the seed keep if I don’t use it all?
A. Usually for several years - keep stored in a cool dry place.

Please order early to ensure you obtain the varieties you require.
PLANTING DEPTH
Failures with bulbs are most frequently due to their having been planted too deep or too shallow. A good general rule to follow is to cover the bulb with soil one and a half to twice its own depth, measuring the bulb from the base to the shoulder. Thus a bulb measuring 2 inches from the base to the shoulder should be covered with 3-4 inches of soil. Always unpack bulbs on arrival and leave bags open so air can circulate until planting.
