The Lily: Summer Bulb of the Year
Dazzling lilies set off colourful fireworks in the garden. Garden? Yes, in the garden! Many people are familiar with lilies as cut flowers but don’t know that they can also add sparkle to the garden. This is why the lily was selected to be the Summer Bulb of 2018.
Summer bulbs: plant, wait and enjoy
Fun in the garden starts in April when it’s time to plant summer bulbs. You plant them, let the warm spring sunshine give them a good growth spurt, and then it’s only a question of enjoying a burst of colour.
Calla lilies for amazing summers
Elegant yet nonchalant. Ready-potted calla lilies are amazingly versatile summer-flowering bulbs for quickly giving your patio or balcony a special look.
Summer bulbs and perennials: the perfect match
Summer-flowering bulbs make a wonderful addition to perennials in a border. They add just that little extra – sometimes even exotic – touch to your garden.
The difference between bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes
When you first think of ‘bulbs’, you probably think of the kinds that bloom in the spring. But did you know that some bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes will also have your garden bursting with colour in the summer? Even if you don’t have a garden, these flower bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes will also thrive in pots, planters and other containers.
Lilies in the garden
The lily is a striking flower that enjoys widespread popularity. It is particularly known for its suitability as a cut flower. Its wonderful colours, large blooms and characteristic scents adorn many living rooms. But did you know that lilies can also look stunning in your garden? Unexpectedly, perhaps, lily bulbs will thrive in gardens and their exotic flowers provide a wonderfully elegant splash of colour.
Dahlias: cherished for their diversity
Dahlias have become real favourites as summer-flowering bulbs in recent years. Once hampered by a rather stuffy image, this association has disappeared and they are now more popular than ever! One reason for this high regard is the diversity in heights that dahlias provide: they are available in very short varieties as well as very tall ones. This makes them suitable for any spot in the garden and absolutely adored by anyone who loves flowers.
The beautiful Dahlia is the summer bulb for the year 2017
Are you a person who loves colour and is crazy about flowers? If so, you simply have to have dahlias in your garden. This profusely flowering summer bulb is absolutely fantastic at making any kind of garden prettier. That’s because it has more than just one talent. Its flowering period, for example, lasts for months. It also produces masses of flowers, is available in hundreds of different varieties, and is even a summer bulb with a story behind it. Actually, it’s no wonder that the Dahlia was proclaimed the summer bulb for the year 2017.
