Spring bulbs are flower bulbs that are planted in the spring to then bloom beautifully in late summer and fall. These flowers add a colorful and lively touch to the garden when many other flowers have faded. We sell many different types of spring bulbs, and some of the most popular ones include varieties like dahlia, ranunculus, and begonia.
Dahlia
Dahlias are a favorite among many, and they come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes. From small balls to large, majestic flowers. To succeed with dahlias, they should be planted in a sunny location in well-drained soil. Since they are sensitive to frost, it is important to wait until the risk of frost is over before planting them in the ground. In colder climates, the bulbs may need to be dug up before winter, stored cool and dry, and then replanted in the spring.
Ranunculus
Ranunculus is appreciated for its dense, beautiful flowers and its wide range of colors. The flowers have a unique shape and are valued both in the garden and as cut flowers. Ranunculus thrive best in cool climates and should be planted in sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. It is a good idea to pre-plant them in a pot indoors before planting them outside.
Begonia
Begonias are loved for their long blooming period and their ability to thrive in shady locations. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Begonias can be planted in pots, hanging baskets, or directly in the ground in a protected part of the garden. They need well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
For all these spring bulbs, careful planning and care are important to ensure a beautiful bloom. The planting time varies depending on the species and local climate, but generally, the end of spring after the last frost is a good time. Preparing the soil properly by incorporating compost or other organic material can improve drainage and nutrient content, benefiting the growth and bloom of the plants.
