I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail. The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization. I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Hyacinthoides Hispanica 'White'

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 4 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Position with the pointed end up. For naturalized drifts, scatter bulbs and plant where they fall.
Location: Partial to full shade is ideal—perfect under deciduous trees or in woodland-style gardens.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Keep soil moist during active growth in spring. Once foliage dies back, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–9. Requires a cold period to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring as shoots emerge.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulb. Remove spent flower stalks for tidiness.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets and self-seeding. Divide clumps in summer when dormant if needed.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Avoid overly wet conditions to prevent bulb rot.
