A Spectacular and Long-Lasting Spring Border idea For Weeks of Display
Spring Combination Ideas, Bulb Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Spring Borders
Designed by the renowned international landscape designer, Jacqueline van der Kloet, for Keukenhof - where over seven million bulbs are planted, offering a glorious decor, rich in colors and fragrances - this soft and tender combination of tulips and daffodils truly reflects Jacqueline's art at uniquely painting landscapes with her bulbs' palette, in a much more casual and feminine way than her predecessors. To achieve this effect, try Jacqueline's "sprinkling" method: toss the bulbs onto the ground and plant them where they fall. Add perennials such as Siberian Bugloss (Brunnera Macrophylla) to create an airy and colorful cushion of blues, whites, or pinks, above which, your tulips and daffodils will be elegantly dancing.
