Description
Delft Blue, the iconic blue-and-white pottery produced in and around Delft since the 16th century, is celebrated worldwide for its intricate designs (Wikipedia). We’re thrilled to bring this timeless painting style to life in our collection featuring Tulip 'Calgary' and Muscari armeniacum. Tulip 'Calgary', a charming low-growing triumph tulip, is a favourite among professional growers for pot displays. Pair it with grape hyacinths, and you’ll achieve a delightful contrast of colour and form in your spring garden. Even the people of Delft would be proud of such a cheerful floral tableau!
Each Delft Blue Collection package contains:
- 10 x Tulip 'Calgary'
- 25 x Muscari armeniacum
