Description
You’ve seen the wonderful combinations one can make with flower bulbs, but you’re not sure if you’ll be able to match them for artistry and simultaneous flowering. Farmer Gracy is here to help! Our tried and tested collections work every time. Few of these could be more striking than the Banana Plum Collection, offering a combination of Hyacinth 'City of Haarlem' and Hyacinth 'Woodstock'. First of all, there’s the colour combination of frothy cream and rich purple you get from City of Haarlem and Woodstock hyacinths. Secondly, there’s the heavenly scent, and yes, you can bet on them flowering together as if they were made to do nothing else. A delicious display of blooms ensues. With Farmer Gracy, you get the reputation of being a master gardener!
