Summer Flowering Bulbs

Most people associate bulbs with spring and that is not surprising.

Just look how popular the likes of daffodil and crocus are. And these are well known spring flowers.

But just because its summer it doesn't mean you cant grow bulbs that flower now.

There is a vast array of bulbs that flower in summer to choose from all adding shape, texture and colour to your borders, beds, window boxes and tubs.

They come in all different sizes, colours and some are even fragrant.

Most look their best if planted in groups rather than on their own.

For the most dramatic effect plant the same bulbs in a group rather than mixed types.

There is no beating a group of Crocosmia or a group of Tigridia flowering their heads off in a summer bed.

Some summer flowering bulbs will start flowering in spring and continue through into summer.

Others flower in summer and continue through into autumn.

And, yet, others flower in summer and will flower right through autumn and into winter.

And then there are those that just flower in the summer months.

So chosen with care you can have flowering bulbs all year round. Now that’s what's needed, flowers all year round.

A lot of summer bulbs will naturalize, (produce new bulbs year on year), giving more flowers for no effort.

There are loads to choose from and once planted most are just left to grow and grow with very little care, if any, needed from you.

So, planned correctly and choosing the right bulbs you can have a display that will add colour to any summer flowering garden.

If planted in patio tubs and pots you can arrange them to give you the best effect. You can move them around as you like.

Its surprising how just by moving pots and tubs around it can change the whole look of your patio and garden.

You can propagate most summer bulbs quite easily increasing your stock in the process.
