Spring bulbs are a group of plants that bloom in spring and reproduce by bulbs. Their peculiarity is that they have an underground organ - a bulb, which accumulates nutrients and allows plants to survive unfavorable conditions, such as winter or drought. Spring bulbs are usually the first to bloom, decorating gardens with bright colors.

Examples of spring bulbous plants:

• Tulips
• Daffodils
• Hyacinths
• Crocuses
• Muscari
• Bluebells
• Pushkinia
• Irises reticulata

These plants are easy to grow. Their bulbs are usually planted in the fall so that they have time to root before winter and bloom in the spring. They prefer well-drained soil and sunny areas.

Autumn

When purchasing bulbs, make sure they are healthy, i.e. have no signs of mold or other damage.

Always unpack purchased bulbs and store them in a cool, dry place.

Spring

When the bulbs have finished blooming, cut the stems off at the base. This action helps to gather the life force in the bulbs so that your flowers will appear in full glory next spring.

Allow the leaves and stem to wilt and dry naturally. Then you can remove them.

The bulbs themselves can overwinter and naturalize in the ground, returning each year even more beautiful.

Planting

All types of bulbous plants (except double tulips) presented in our assortment are suitable for naturalization (propagation by natural means), i.e. they can be planted directly into the grass throughout the garden, thus creating a meadow effect, or planted in groups of 7-10 bulbs to create an attractive flowerbed.

- Plant the bulbs with the pointed side up.

- Mark the planting site with a peg

- Water the bulbs generously after planting.
