01. Afterlight

from $70.00

A moody, tonal palette of smoky mauves, silvers, and inky purples. Afterlight captures the moment just before night settles in, when colors deepen and edges soften. Dramatic but composed, this collection layers plush blooms with architectural forms for a spring display that feels romantic without becoming precious.

Think twilight in a walled garden, silk dresses, crushed violets.

Included bulbs

  • Tulipa ‘Black Hero’ — Double, velvety blooms in near-black plum, dense and theatrical.

  • Narcissus ‘Silver Smiles’ — Rare ivory petals brushed with pale blush, lightly fragrant and quietly luminous.

  • Tulipa Triumph ‘Flaming Flag’ — Creamy white petals striped with soft lavender, shifting gently with the light.

  • Hyacinthus ‘Woodstock’ — Deep wine-purple spikes with a rich fragrance and strong vertical presence.

  • Allium ‘Nigrum’ — Tall, architectural stems with pale, star-shaped blooms that add tension and height.

Shipping & Seasonal Fulfillment

Orris ships bulbs according to the natural planting season for your climate. Orders are timed so your bulbs arrive when planting conditions are right in your region.

All preorders ship first. Once seasonal preorders are fulfilled, in-stock items typically ship within 7–10 business days.

Because bulbs are living materials, exact dates may shift slightly depending on harvest timing and availability. For our full Purchase & Returns policy, please view it here.
