Organic Perennials

Organically grown Perennials

Perennials have a life cycle of several years. They survive the winter period by letting their above-ground parts die off and store energy in their roots or tubers. They emerge again in the next growing season.

There are numerous types of organically grown perennials available, varying in size, shape, bloom time, flower color, and leaf texture. They often have different seasonal characteristics. For example, some perennials bloom in the spring, while others bloom in the summer or fall. This allows you to have a colorful and blooming garden throughout the growing season with the right selection of perennials.

Can I plant perennials in winter?

How do you plant strawberry roots in the ground?

In the winter you can plant hardy perennials such as strawberry plants or sage in the ground. The roots of strawberries are thin, but very robust. These can be planted in the ground immediately after purchase and home delivery, regardless of whether it will freeze again. 

How do I plant the roots of perennials with green on them?

How do I plant Kniphofia roots?

The long, thin roots of a kniphofia , which can remain green all winter, are planted in such a way that all the roots are just covered with soil and the green leaves are above ground. This ensures that the green leaves do not rot away due to the moist soil.

They can be planted all year round because the carrots are extremely winter hardy.


 Care of perennials

In general, perennials are relatively easy to maintain. They usually require regular watering, fertilization, and pruning. However, some species may have more specific care requirements.

Durable

Because perennials last for several years, they contribute to the sustainability of a garden. They reduce the need for annual replanting, which is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Perennials can also help improve soil quality. Their root systems help retain moisture, prevent erosion, and enrich the soil with organic matter as they die and decompose.

  • Organic summer bulbs

    Summer flowering bulbs and tubers are a promising and colourful addition to gardens, bringing them to life during the warmer months. Here you will find a wide range of flowers and plants that are planted in spring and produce beautiful flowers throughout the summer and autumn.

    Planting summer bloomers

    Planting summer flowering bulbs and tubers usually requires some preparation in the spring. They thrive in well-drained soil and generally require full sun or light shade.

    Pre-growing flower bulbs

    You can also choose to grow the frost-sensitive summer bloomers indoors from March, which is called pre-growing. The plant then has a head start and will flower earlier. You then place the pot in a light place in your room and keep the soil slightly moist. As soon as the night frost has gone, the pot can be placed outside or the flower bulb or tuber can be removed and replanted in the open ground. In that case, first keep the pot in a bucket of water for half a day and then plant the tuber in the open ground.

    Caring for summer bloomers

    Regular watering and removing faded flowers can prolong flowering. All summer flowering plants we offer can be cut back to the ground in the fall. For further instructions, we recommend reading the respective product descriptions for correct wintering.

    For organic potting soil, plant food and other soil improvers we recommend Bio Kultura !

    Summer buzzers

    The entire assortment of Bloemoloog is organically grown. This means you don't have to worry about whether it contains harmful substances for beneficial insects such as bees and other summer buzzers.

  • What summer bloomers are there and how do you choose the right one?

    There are many different types of summer bloomers, including annuals and perennials, also called perennials. Annual summer bloomers are plants that only bloom for one season, while perennial summer bloomers grow and bloom for several years. One must be dug up before the cold winter, while the other can, with the right care, remain in the same place for years.

    When choosing summer bloomers, it is important to consider the specific needs of the plants, such as water requirements, soil type and care.

    Below we discuss some popular summer bloomers and provide information on which location is best for them.

    Non-hardy perennial summer bloomers

    - Calla : Calla's also known as Zantedeschia's are summer bloomers with graceful leaves and unique flowers. These can be in the sun and partial shade.
    - Dahlia : Dahlias are a popular choice for summer bloomers and come in many different colors. They do well in full sun.
    - Gladioli : Gladioli are perennial, but not winter hardy. They grow best in full sun.

    Hardy perennial summer bloomers

    - Kniphofia : Kniphofia, also known as fire arrow, loves a lot of sunlight. Place the plant in a location where it gets at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. A sunny location ensures that the plant grows and blooms well.
    - Lily : Lilies are perennial summer bloomers that are often planted. These plants do well in full sun and in partial shade.
    - Peony : Peonies are well-known perennial summer bloomers. They bloom in the sun, but for longer flowering we recommend a semi-shaded spot.
