Winter Flowering Bulbs

"You can make the most of winter flowering bulbs by planting them in sheltered areas of your garden"


Allthough you find yourself in the grips of winter there are still some spring flowering bulbs that have not yet quite finished.

Many bulbs that have flowered through spring carry on to early, mid and even late winter.

There are also some that flower now, in winter, giving your garden, tubs, pots and window boxes both interest and colour.

So all is not bleak this time of year. You can have a splendid winter flower show.

Even on the coldest of days, even with a layer of snow, green leaves and colorful flowers can be seen showing off.

You can make the most of winter flowering bulbs by planting them in sheltered areas of your garden.

Under trees and shrubs, beside walls and fences and rockeries that are sheltered from bitter winds.

Plant them where they can be seen from your kitchen window or other windows you can look out into the garden from.

But you don’t have to stop there.

Grow them in patio tubs and pots and window boxes.

You can make excellent winter displays this way. And they will certainly cheer you up. Making the wait 'till spring more bearable!

You can move your patio tubs and pots around to give you the best effect and at the same time keep them in the sun and sheltered from cold winds.

There are loads of bulbs that flower in winter to choose from.

And once planted most can just be left to grow and grow, with very little care needed from you.

Many of them will naturalize, (produce more bulbs year on year), which means you get more flowers for no effort.
