Gardening enthusiasts, horticulturists and even gardening professionals around the world appreciate the beauty and charm of bulbous plants. Flowering bulbs offer a range of delightful colours, shapes and sizes, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any space. However, it's important to know what the happiest bulb combinations are and how to care for your flowers once you've grown them.

Wide range of flower bulbs
Bulbs encompass a wide range of plant species, each with unique characteristics. They are usually classified into two types: summer-flowering bulbs and autumn-flowering bulbs. Autumn flowering bulbs include species such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and snowdrops. These bulbs are planted in the autumn, where they lie dormant over the winter, waiting for the first signs of spring to begin their growth cycle.

Summer-flowering bulbs, such as lilies, dahlias, gladioli and begonias, are planted in spring to flower during the summer months. They often need a warmer climate to thrive. Some bulbs, such as lilies, also lend themselves well to growing indoors, which is why they make excellent year-round houseplants.

Importance of planting bulbs at the right time
The timing of bulb planting is crucial to the flowering process, as this ensures that the plants get the cooling period crucial for autumn bulbs to stimulate their growth. For example, if you plant spring-blooming flowers too late in the year, the bulbs may not have enough time to establish roots before the soil freezes, which is why the results won't be what you expect. On the other hand, if you plant summer-flowering bulbs too early, when the soil is still cold, they may rot in the ground. So remember that they should be planted after the last frost, when the soil has already warmed up properly.

Choose based on value for money
Bulbs are great value for money for several reasons. They are often sold in special packs, which makes them more affordable per plant compared to other types of flowers. Many bulbs are also perennials, which means they will return year after year, offering the same continuous beauty for a one-time investment.

In addition, bulbs often multiply, creating more plants over time. For example, a daffodil bulb can produce several new bulbs in a few years, and this natural propagation allows gardeners to fill large areas with beautiful blooms without spending extra money.
