De Hortus is elke dag geopend tussen vanaf 10:00 uur.

We are sure that these happy little flowers will put a smile on your face! 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘢 is known by several fun names like love-in-a-mist, devil in the bush or in Dutch Juffertje-in-het-groen.⁠
⁠
The plant does not occur naturally in the Netherlands, but is widely spread in the wild. The plant is native to the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands. There the plant grows on farmland and uncultivated areas. You will find this plant in English cottage gardens where it was grown since the 16th century, as a favourite decorative flower. ⁠💙⁠
⁠

Sundays are perfect for a visit to the Hortus to explore the garden and greenhouses. The Hortus will continue to amaze you: you will discover something new around every corner!⁠
⁠
Enjoy the Hortus for an extra long day today! We are open until 9 o'clock this evening.⁠

We are so excited! 💚 This weekend (11 to 14 June), the fundraising exhibition '𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘴...' will be on show in our Palm Greenhouse.⁠
⁠
A group of illustrators decided to offer the Hortus a helping hand, when they heard the garden was going through a tough time. ⁠
⁠
The past few weeks they have immersed themselves in the green collection of the Hortus, resulting in eight unique '𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘴...'' works. These limited edition prints will be exhibited in the Palm Greenhouse this weekend, and offered on sale to our visitors and other Hortus lovers. The profits will be donated to the Hortus.⁠

The biodiversity section of the garden is still full of flowering 𝘓𝘦𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘶𝘮 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘦, commonly known as the oxeye daisy or dog daisy. This plant is native to the Netherlands and therefore a favourite of local insects. ⁠
🐝💛⁠

It's a a perfect day for a dive into our desert! You will find desert plants from all over the world growing in this greenhouse: South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Madagascar, Peru...⁠ Come by these succulent friends today and enjoy all their beautiful shapes and colours. 💚🌵⁠
⁠
Succulents make very popular house plants because they require little maintenance. They can withstand drought and heat, which is why they can survive some time without water. So you can easily leave them for some time when you go on holiday. In fact, if you water too much, surplus water will remain in the rosettes and there is a high risk of rotting. ⁠

As of today (5 June) most indoor locations of the Hortus are open again.🥰 Making it possible to visit our cafe in the Orangery, the Palm Greenhouse or the Threeclimate Greenhouse again.⁠
⁠
Even on rainy days it is lovely to spend some time in the Hortus. Hope to see you today!

𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘶𝘴 is a common biennial wildflower, native to southeast Europe and north Africa. It is commonly known as purple or common salsify or vegetable oyster. ⁠
⁠
The name vegetable oyster is probably used because parts of this plant are edible. Historically, the plant was cultivated for that purpose; it is a somewhat 'forgotten' vegetable. ⁠
⁠
The root and the young shoots of 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘶𝘴 can be eaten (after being boiled). The freshly grown leaves can be eaten cooked or raw. 🥗

𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲! From 11 to 14 June, the fundraising exhibition '𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘴...' will be on show in our Palm Greenhouse.⁠

This week's #houseplantoftheweek is currently flowering beautifully in our subtropical greenhouse. It is the well-known 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘪𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘦, commonly known as the crane flower or 'Bird of Paradise’ plant.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘪𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘦 is a species of flowering plant indigenous to South Africa. An evergreen perennial, it is widely cultivated for its dramatic flowers, as you can see in this picture.. In temperate areas it is a popular houseplant.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But make sure you place this green housemate in a spacious room: it can grow up to 1.3 metres tall and spread up to two to three metres wide when aged! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠

How much do you love the flowering Wisteria (𝘞𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴) in the Hortus? The flowering period of these large clusters of purple flowers lasts from mid-May to the beginning of June.⁠
⁠
So if you want to catch a glimpse of them this year, make sure to visit us very soon! ⁠
