Organic spring bulbs
Spring-flowering bulbs and tubers are popular plants that produce beautiful flowers from early spring through summer. Because of their early bloom, they combine well with perennials when they still need to establish themselves.
Tulips are probably the most well-known spring flowers. They come in many different colors, shapes, and sizes. Daffodils are known for their cheerful yellow flowers, but they also come in other colors like white and orange. Crocuses are small bulbous plants with striking flowers in shades of purple, yellow, and white. They are often the first flowers to appear in spring. Hyacinths have fragrant flowers in various colors, such as pink, purple, blue, and white. They are often planted in borders, flower beds, or pots.
Benefits of organic spring bulbs
When you choose organic flower bulbs that bloom in spring, you can be sure that no chemicals or pesticides will end up in your garden. These pesticides are harmful to bees and prevent them from finding their nests. As a result, more and more bee species have been added to the red list in recent years. Together, we can do something about this!
Flower bulbs for wild bees
Did you know that wild bees lay eggs in their nests, which then hatch in early spring? These newborn insect helpers immediately search for food in the surrounding area. There are also insects that have hibernated and are desperately looking for a hearty breakfast: the blooming flowers where nectar and pollen can be found! Just after winter, there's little greenery or food for these insects. Planting early-blooming flower bulbs ensures there's food available, and the insects can gain strength for the coming summer.
Organic growers
The organic growers we work with cultivate not only the most beautiful but also the strongest products. They cultivate varieties and species of flowers and plants that experience has shown to be virus-resistant, so they don't need to use chemicals and pesticides. Organic growers seek natural remedies and solutions against diseases and/or pests. All our flower bulbs are certified organic; both the Florist and the growers are SKAL-certified.
When do you plant spring bulbs?
Spring-flowering bulbs can be planted from autumn until January. Bulbs that need to be dug up in the summer after flowering should be dug up starting in late July and stored until the next planting season in autumn.
What to do after flowering
When spring bloomers have finished blooming, cut off the wilted flowers at the top of the stem. Let the rest of the plant die back naturally so it can still receive maximum energy from the sun.
How do you store spring bulbs?
If you've purchased flower bulbs from us and had them delivered to your home and would like to leave them for a while, we recommend opening the box and storing it in a ventilated, cool place until you're ready to plant them.
Store flower bulbs you dig up after flowering in a warm place, such as a shed. To prevent mice from eating the bulbs during this period, you can also hang them in a bag or pantyhose.
