Amaryllis for all
go! Platteland
|Spring 2025
Early spring is the best time to get your summer bulbs into the soil so you can reap the reward of beautiful flowers a few months later. Hadeco, the country's leading supplier of flower bulbs, is once again kicking off the warmer season with orders for their trusted bulbs, and that includes an exciting new offering.

Names like Aurora, Calypso, Pandora, Dreamer and Charmed truly capture the imagination, but the Hadeco team is especially excited about Breathless, a new bright-pink flower with pure-white tips and a green throat.
