White Clouds is the breakthrough in coloration that gardeners and landscapers have been waiting for—long-lasting elegance, grace and shimmering white flowers in one variety. White Clouds is a dependable bloomer with exceptional tolerance to heat, making it an ideal choice for Southern climates. Among the best tulips for perennializing, it has proven to bloom year after year in the garden. It produces substantial tulips on strong, straight stems—great for cut-flower applications. |

For the best effect, plant crocus bulbs in groups of 10 or more. |

Plant in large quantities to provide amazing color and an interesting play of form throughout borders, beneath shrubbery and trees, and along well-traveled walkways. Perennializes well for yearly enjoyment. Deer resistant and easy to grow, Muscari multiplies rapidly if left undisturbed. Suitable for containers and indoor forcing, too. Muscari bulbs perform best when planted in well-drained soil and in full sun to partial shade. |

 | Jerusalem Artichoke – Jack’s Copperclad – 150 available Helianthus tuberosus is a perennial tuberous sunflower Growing 6 – 10’ and covered with smallish golden flowers, this variety is described as "endangered" in Renewing America's Food Traditions, edited by Gary Nabhan, which says: "This variety has plump but knobby tubers whose skins are colored a lovely dark copper or rose-purple. The tubers themselves have an excellent, subtly sweet flavor." Excellent flavor similar to water chestnut raw, but even better when roasted or used like a potato. |
