plants
As you know, at the end of July 2024 we started a new chapter in the history of de Jager when we were fortunate enough to be able to acquire Hayloft Plants www.hayloft.co.uk based in Worcestershire. What de Jager is to the bulb world, Hayloft is to the world of plants! As a group we can now cater for all your needs, and de Jager is settling in well to its new home in Hayloft’s ‘state of the art’ facility.
As always the front cover of this catalogue features a fine illustration, this time of Crocus (pages 8-11) with the original being painted in oils by the world-renowned artist Susie Philipps.
As we enter our 17th year serving the customers of QVC Television in the UK, across the ocean in America, gardeners have begun to discover de Jager. We were invited to appear on QVC USA, and the launch proved highly successful, with orders pouring in. The story of de Jager - our heritage, and the garden performance of our bulbs - clearly struck a chord. It would seem that true quality resonates overseas as well as at home!
So thank you again for allowing de Jager to share in the beauty of your garden. We are always delighted to offer further assistance – please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries.
Above all, I write to thank you, the customer. Many of you have ordered for decades - indeed generations - and your loyalty means so much to us. Some of you plant for colour, others for scent, some indeed for the joy of tradition. Whatever your reason, we are grateful, and although a catalogue alone cannot repay you, we trust that the blooms which will flourish in your garden most certainly will.
With warmest wishes,
George Clowes
Our website www.dejager.co.uk continues to be upgraded along with Hayloft’s www.hayloft.co.uk to provide easier navigation, clarity and compatibility with mobile devices, and we always look forward to engaging with our growing online community, so do please follow us on:

BULBS FOR INDOOR FORCING
FORCING BULBS The bulbs on the next two pages are ideal for indoor planting. Once planted the pots need to be put in a cool, dark place, keeping the soil moist. Forcing will take between 12 and 16 weeks or when the shoots are 2’’ to 3’’ high. At this stage the pots should be brought out of cold storage into a cool unheated room. Turn the pots daily in order to keep the stems straight and strong. When the foliage and buds are well developed move the pots to a bright sunny position. This 2nd stage takes between 3 to 4 weeks.
CROCUS - LARGE-FLOWERING VARIETIES
The large Dutch varieties are best for forcing. Pickwick and Remembrance are all time favourites but all varieties on page 9 can be forced. Pot as above approximately 1’’ below the soil. These bulbs require about 12 weeks in cold storage.
C2243 Pickwick
Silvery-white with deep and pale lilac stripes and a purple base. FT: February-March. FH: 15 cm (6”). BS: 9/10 cm.
C2245 Remembrance Producing an abundance of large amethyst-violet flowers, with a silvery gloss. Very long-lasting. FT: February-March. FH: 15 cm (6”). BS: 9/10 cm.
MULTIFLOWERING HYACINTHS
Multiflora Hyacinth bulbs are propagated so as to produce clusters of delightfully fragrant small flowers. Each bulb will produce several slender stems on which the delicate bells are loosely set. They can be potted as above and are also ideal for naturalising in the garden.

PREPARED CHRISTMAS HYACINTHS
These hyacinths are specially prepared for early forcing and for bowl and pot culture. When potting leave the tip of the bulb above soil level. Hyacinths need approximately 10 to 12 weeks in cold storage. They can also be forced in water sitting the bulb above water level so that the base of the bulb just touches the water, then place in the dark until the shoots are 2’’ to 3’’ high. Despatched from early September onwards when they are fully ready.
SPECIAL INDOOR COLLECTIONS
The following collections have been selected from the prepared Hyacinths illustrated on the opposite page.

P. de Jager & Sons Limited have been selling top quality, top size bulbs for over 154 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.
SD111 Classic Annual Mix
SD141 Cornfield Annual Mix
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’’).
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’’).
SD161 Pixie Annual Mix
SD261 Cottage Garden Perennial Mix
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.
