Spring Planting Summer Flowering Bulbs

Spring‑planted bulbs often come into bloom in mid to late summer, a time when gardens can start to look a little tired. These bulbs step in beautifully, adding fresh colour, structure and interest.

Many varieties are perennial, returning for several years once established. Some, like Nerines, will even multiply over time, forming generous clumps that can be lifted and divided for an even bigger display in future seasons.

Summer bulbs are also a brilliant way to start a cut flower garden. Tall spires of Gladioli and Lilies rise from surprisingly small bulbs and tubers, producing armfuls of blooms with very little effort. They’re ideal for gardeners who want maximum impact with minimal fuss.
