Garden Bulbs for Spring, Summer & Autumn Colour
Early Spring Bulbs
At the end of winter, before spring has fully arrived, bulbs such as snowdrops, cyclamen coum, crocus and early flowering daffodils can bring welcome colour back into the garden.
These are especially useful for borders, pots, underplanting and areas where you want early seasonal interest before the rest of the garden gets going.
Summer Flowering Bulbs
Into summer, bulbs and tubers such as alliums, agapanthus, dahlias, gladiolus, crocosmia and cyclamen hederifolium can add colour, height and structure to the garden.
Alliums are particularly useful for adding shape and height, while dahlias can keep flowering for a long period, often continuing well into autumn when conditions are right.
Garden bulbs are one of the easiest ways to add colour to beds, borders, pots and containers throughout the year. From early spring flowers through to summer displays and autumn interest, bulbs can help keep the garden looking colourful across the seasons.
Spring Colour
As spring arrives, bulbs such as hyacinths, daffodils, muscari and tulips can create a colourful and often fragrant display. They work well in pots, containers, borders and mixed planting schemes. Spring bulbs are a good option if you want reliable colour after winter, especially around patios, doorways and areas of the garden you see every day.
Autumn & Winter Interest
As the year comes to an end, cyclamen coum can begin to flower again, helping to start the cycle of seasonal colour all over again.
Planning bulbs across the seasons is a simple way to avoid having all your colour arrive at once. With a bit of thought, you can have something coming through at different times of year.
Grow Your Own Bulbs
We also stock seasonal grow-your-own favourites including onion sets, shallots and garlic, with Japanese onions and garlic usually available later in the year.
