💙 Blue-violet and white flowers • ☀️ For beds and borders in full sun • 🌿 20 to 80 cm depending on species • 🌤️ Flowers from March to June • 💐 Beautiful cut flowers • 🐝 Alliums popular with pollinators • 🔁 Reflowers every year • 📏 Bulbs size 10/12
This sunny garden bulb mix brings together three species with blue and white flowers: the De Caen anemone 'Mister Fokker' with large blue-violet flowers and a black heart, the daffodil 'Mount Hood' with large milky white trumpets, and the ornamental onion (Allium nigrum) with creamy white umbels and a dark green heart. Planted together in autumn, they flower in successive waves from March to June, from the 20 to 30 cm anemones to the 40 to 80 cm alliums. It is a European horticultural selection, supplied as size 10/12 bulbs.
In a bed, a border, at the foot of a sunny wall or in a large pot on a sunny terrace, it creates a blue and white picture without having to match the species yourself. Among our flower bulbs, it is the mix designed for full sun and ordinary soil; for dry, stony soil, choose the dry garden bulb mix, for shady corners the shade bulb mix, and for moist soils the damp soil bulb mix.
What is in this mix?
- De Caen anemone 'Mister Fokker' (Anemone coronaria) — large single blue-violet flowers with a velvety black heart, 20 to 30 cm, from March to May. It flowers in the foreground throughout spring.
- Daffodil 'Mount Hood' (Narcissus, trumpet daffodil) — one flower of about 10 cm per stem, with a cream trumpet that turns white after opening, 40 to 45 cm, in March-April.
- Ornamental onion (Allium nigrum) — flattened umbels of creamy white flowers, sometimes flushed with lilac, with a dark green heart, 40 to 80 cm, in May-June. It closes the season.
Anemones come as small, hard, dry tubers: soak them for 3 to 4 hours in lukewarm water before planting and they will start growing faster.
How many bulbs should you choose?
The anemones are planted close together, the daffodils and alliums a little further apart: allow about 35 bulbs per square metre, or 12 to 15 bulbs in a pot 35 cm in diameter.
- 35 bulbs: about 1 m², or two large pots on a sunny balcony or terrace.
- 70 bulbs: about 2 m², to bring flowers to the foot of a wall or a bed in front of the house.
- 140 bulbs: about 4 m², for a sunny border along a path.
- 280 bulbs: about 8 m², for a large bed or several borders.
The larger the pack, the lower the price per bulb: the pack of 280 costs less than half as much per bulb as the pack of 35.
Planting & location
The bulbs are planted from September to November, for flowers from March to June.
- Exposure: full sun; anemone flowers open wide in the sun and close in the evening.
- Depth: 5 cm for the anemone tubers, 10 to 15 cm for the daffodils and alliums, tip pointing up.
- Spacing: 10 to 15 cm between bulbs in the ground; in pots, 3 to 5 cm is enough.
- Soil type: ordinary to light, well-drained; in heavy soil, add sand or gravel, as the tubers rot in soil that stays waterlogged in winter.
- Hardiness: down to about -10 °C, the limit for the anemones; the daffodils and alliums withstand harder frosts. In cold regions, mulch the bed before the frosts.
Plant the alliums at the back, the daffodils in the middle and the anemones in front: in May, the white umbels rise above the yellowing foliage of the daffodils.
Watering & care
In the ground, autumn and spring rain is usually enough. In pots, check the moisture with the finger test and water when the compost is dry to a depth of 2 cm.
- Watering: moderate — when planting, then during a dry spell in spring, from the emergence of the leaves to the end of flowering.
- Fertilizer: unnecessary in the ground; in pots, use a bulb fertilizer as the leaves emerge.
- Spent flowers: cut off the anemone and daffodil flowers once withered; leave the allium flowers to dry on the stem, as their heads stay decorative in summer.
- After flowering: let the foliage turn yellow where it is for six weeks: it recharges the bulbs for the following year.
De Caen anemones produce several flowers in succession: the more you cut for the vase, the more they produce.
Decorating ideas & plant pairings
Its blue and white go with every colour, in a border from the full sun collection as well as among plants for a sunny balcony.
- To add white tulips, plant the White Triumph tulip between the daffodils — its large pure white cups, 40 to 50 cm, flower in April-May, between the daffodils and the alliums.
- For a blue carpet at ground level, add Armenian grape hyacinth in front of the mix — its bright blue spikes, 15 to 20 cm, flower in April, at the foot of the anemones and daffodils.
- To add height in white, plant Allium 'Mount Everest' at the back — its white globes, 10 to 12 cm across on stems from 1 m to 1.20 m, open in May-June, at the same time as the ornamental onion of the mix.
- For an even fuller blue and white bed, complete it with the blue and white spring bulb mix — its six species, from squills to white tulips, flower from March to June in the same shades.
Cut the anemones and daffodils when the flowers start to open, and put the daffodils alone in a vase for a few hours before combining them: their sap makes other flowers wilt.
Verdeia tips
- Choose the brightest spot: at least six hours of sun a day, in front of the house or at the foot of a south- or west-facing wall.
- Plant in irregular groups: in patches of 10 to 20 bulbs rather than in rows, for a natural effect.
- Mark the spot: insert a small stake or note the outline of the area, so you do not damage the bulbs when planting other plants in summer, once the foliage has gone.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.

Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
