Spring Flowering Bulbs

Spring bulbs are planted in autumn and burst into life in late winter or early spring. Classic favourites like crocuses, daffodils, and alliums bring early interest, while later varieties, such as tulips, extend the season into late spring. These seasonal bulbs are ideal for both borders and naturalised planting schemes.

Summer Blooming Bulbs

Our range of summer-flowering bulbs includes both familiar and unusual options. Choose from gladiolus, canna, or crocosmia to brighten beds and containers. These decorative bulbs love well-drained soil and a sunny position. Many grow from corms, rhizomes, or tubers, making them excellent for long-term displays.

Decorative and Perennial Bulb Varieties

For reliable returns year after year, look to ornamental bulbs such as Narcissus 'Geranium' and Anemone nemorosa. Many of our perennial bulb plants are suited to naturalised planting and informal schemes, giving structure while supporting pollinators. Ideal for the practical gardener looking to invest in long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bulbs

What Are the Best Bulbs To Plant in Spring in Ireland?

Spring is ideal for planting summer-flowering bulbs like Gladiolus tristis, Canna, and Crocosmia, all of which perform well in Irish gardens. These bulbs add height and colour to borders from midsummer onwards and are available directly from our nursery.

How Do You Care for Bulb Plants Like Those Sold Here?

Our nursery bulbs, such as Amarine belladiva, Narcissus Actaea, and Fritillaria imperialis thrive in free-draining soil and benefit from a sunny or lightly shaded position. Plant bulbs at a depth of two to three times their height. Varieties grown from corms, rhizomes, or tubers (like gladiolus or dahlia) should be kept frost-free in winter or lifted and stored if needed.

When Should You Plant Bulbs in Ireland for Best Results?

Spring-flowering bulbs like Narcissus Pueblo, Anemone nemorosa, and Alliums should be planted in autumn (September–November). Summer bulbs, such as Canna and Crocosmia, are best planted in early spring once frost risk has passed to ensure healthy growth and vibrant blooms throughout the summer.
