Tulip and daffodil mix (Tulipa and Narcissus) ‘Sun Shower’ is a 14-bulb assortment combining orange tulips and yellow daffodils for a coordinated mid-spring display. The tulips carry simple, upright blooms in luminous orange tones above blue-green foliage, while the daffodils contribute yellow flowers with prominent central cups, creating a warm and vivid contrast. The planting reaches approximately 40 cm (16 in) tall and develops a dense, structured appearance. This Florissa mixture is also identified as fragrant and suitable for cut flowers, adding both sensory and decorative value to its spring performance in beds, borders and seasonal garden arrangements.
This mixture performs well in full sun to partial shade in light, fertile and well-drained soil. In Quebec, plant the bulbs in fall, ideally from September to November before the ground freezes. Because the package combines tulips and daffodils, adjust planting depth to bulb size, generally 100 to 150 mm, and space them approximately 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) apart. Water after planting to settle the soil, then maintain moderate moisture during active spring growth. After flowering, remove faded blooms and allow the foliage to yellow naturally so each bulb can replenish its stored energy before entering summer dormancy and preparing for future growth.
This combination works beautifully in flower beds, borders, cutting gardens and large containers where its orange and yellow tones create a bright spring scene. Planting the bulbs together in generous groups produces the strongest massed effect and highlights the contrasting flower forms of tulips and daffodils. Forget-me-nots, white grape hyacinths, euphorbias or grey-green foliage can complement the planting without competing with its warm colours. The flowers also provide a seasonal resource for various pollinating insects. Tulips and daffodils are not food plants and may be harmful to pets if ingested. The product is offered by Van Noort and presented under the Florissa brand, preserving the supplier information provided for this assortment.

Growing method
Plant the bulbs in fall in loosened, fertile and well-drained soil. Adjust planting depth according to bulb size, generally between 100 and 150 mm, and space them approximately 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) apart. Group the tulips and daffodils together to preserve the coordinated effect of the mixture. Water after planting, then moderately during active spring growth. After flowering, remove faded blooms but allow the leaves to yellow and dry naturally before removing them so the bulbs can replenish their stored energy.

Seasonal care
In fall, plant the 14 bulbs before the ground freezes in loose, well-drained soil, then water to ensure good contact with the surrounding soil. In spring, maintain moderate moisture as foliage emerges and flowers develop. A light application of compost or bulb fertilizer can be made when growth begins. During flowering, harvest stems for bouquets if desired. Remove faded blooms afterward but retain the green foliage of both tulips and daffodils. Wait until it yellows naturally before removing it so the bulbs can replenish their stored energy. Reduce watering during summer dormancy, particularly in soils that tend to retain moisture for extended periods.

Frequently asked questions
Everything toknow.
Plant the bulbs in fall, ideally from September to November, before the ground freezes. This timing provides the winter chilling required for their spring growth cycle. Choose well-drained soil and water after planting to settle the soil firmly around the bulbs.
The mixture reaches approximately 40 cm (16 in) tall in bloom. This size makes it easy to use through the middle of a border, grouped in a garden bed or in a large container. Individual heights may vary slightly between the tulips and daffodils in the mixture.
Yes. The mixture is identified as suitable for cutting and allows the distinctive forms of tulips and daffodils to be combined in one bouquet. Harvest stems as flowers begin opening and use clean tools. Freshly cut daffodils can release sap that may affect other flowers.
No. Tulips and daffodils can be harmful to dogs and cats when ingested, and their bulbs present a particularly significant risk. Store bulbs out of reach before planting and prevent pets from digging them up or chewing the plants in the garden.
