Dear Valued Customer,

Spring holds such a special place in every gardener’s heart, with warmer days encouraging an awakening, the hope for fresh life and colour, and the promise of the summer to come... With this spirit of renewal, we are thrilled to share our Spring 2025 catalogue with you, offering a wealth of planting possibilities to fulfil your passion for gardening and enhance the summer garden.

A New Chapter for de Jager

This spring also marks a new chapter for de Jager, and we are delighted to be able to share our big news with you. On 31st July 2024, we welcomed Hayloft Plants into our de Jager family. You may already know Hayloft, which was founded in 1994 by Derek and Yvonne Jarman. They have earned an excellent and well-deserved reputation by offering over 3,000 plants for sale – including many rare or exceptional ones – as well as a full range of gardening essentials. From many bidders, they chose to sell to de Jager, trusting us to maintain the brand’s excellence and continue the family ethos. Derek and Yvonne have now retired after decades of dedication, and we wish them many happy years ahead.

The alliance of Hayloft and de Jager feels like a natural progression. Hayloft’s state-of-the-art nursery in Worcestershire combines cutting-edge facilities with sustainability: solar power, ground-source heating, and rainwater irrigation mean every plant nurtured here is grown with the environment in mind. For us, moving from our long-loved base in Kent to Hayloft’s incredible home represents a chance to develop and grow. And we would like to reassure all our customers that, although the location has changed, our traditional commitment to excellent customer service and top class bulbs remains intact.

It is early days, but as 2025 unfolds, and this new chapter opens up, we will be offering you ever greater choice for your gardens. Together, de Jager and Hayloft will cover a vast range of plants, from bulbs to perennials, including many new and rare varieties.

This year, planning your garden comes with a small challenge. We all know how dreadful the weather has been during 2024, and a very wet spring has significantly affected the bulb harvest, creating shortages in breeding stock. New importation rules have also made sourcing more difficult. With limited availability of some varieties, we encourage you to place your orders early to secure your favourites and avoid disappointment.

Your support during this time of transition means so much to us. By placing your orders online or by post, you help us ensure the move runs as smoothly as possible. You can browse and order through www.dejager.co.uk , and for even more inspiration, Hayloft’s collection is at your fingertips at www.hayloft.co.uk.

As you explore our current catalogue, imagine the possibilities! Bold tropical Cannas in radiant oranges, reds and yellows, fragrant Lilies scenting the whole garden, or exciting Zantedeschia with their distinctive brightly coloured flowers - an irresistible addition to your planting. As always, every bulb has been chosen with care and with quality in mind.

Perhaps this spring you might like to plant something new? A drift of summer-flowering Anemones under bushes or trees, their jewelled tones adding brightness to a semi-shaded area... or imagine the striking architectural beauty of Agapanthus bringing drama to borders, or to pots on the patio.

As usual the front cover of this catalogue features another fine illustration, this time of a wonderful display of Mixed Anemones De Caen Painting by Penny Gould DipSBA (Dist.) SBA SF M5096 (Page 26)

There are glowing Dahlias or elegant Irises to catch the eye – whatever your vision for your summer garden, the range of varieties in this catalogue could help to make it real.

Our website www.dejager.co.uk is continuously being upgraded to provide better navigation, clarity and compatibility with mobile devices. There you will find information on all our available products and the latest news and gardening tips. We continue to offer an online 10% discount for all retail web orders: just enter the voucher code WEB10 during the checkout process. So here’s to a 2025 filled with flowers and borders alive with colour. Here’s to your creativity, and the joy of growing something truly special! We are also always happy to offer further assistance - please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries.

With 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 early 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 (24-30”) apart each way. Protect from slugs.

ANEMONE FLOWERING DAHLIAS

This variety is also known as the Powder Puff Dahlia because the large feathered centres resemble a powder puff. A very showy variety, making stunning cut flowers.

P. de Jager & Sons Limited have been selling top quality, top size bulbs for over 156 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.

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. FH: up to 1m (39’’).

SD141 Cornfield Annual Mix

SD161 Pixie Annual Mix

SD261 Cottage Garden Perennial Mix

A carefully selected mix of pretty cornfield annuals that will flower mainly in July and August, including: Field Poppy, Cornflower, Scentless Mayweed and Corncockle. FH: up to 1m (39’’).

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. FH: up to 50 cm (20’’).

A tall, dramatic, colourful, and long season meadow. It was initially designed to be sown over pure brick rubble on housing demolition sites, but finds itself equally at home in garden soils. This meadow offers fantastic variety and is jam-packed full of species that work wonderfully together, providing drama and colour from early Spring, right through to late Autumn. On very low fertility soils, an annual cut and collect is not always necessary.

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.

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.
