Bulbs

Agapanthus is a sun-worshipper, as can be expected from a plant that comes from the southern region of South Africa. It is also known as Lily of the Nile.

Allium has no less than 500 species, each prettier or more unusual than the last. Also known as ornimental onions, Allium is ideal for making colour and height combinations in the border.

Anemones are also known as wind-flower because they move in the slightest breeze. They are lovely, delicate flowers that command great admiration when planted in large numbers The most widely sold anemone belongs to the buttercup family and are native to Southern-Europe and Asia-minor.

The Iris Germanica, or bearded iris, originates, contrary to what its name suggests, from Southern Europe. This perennial is a real eye-catcher in any garden and comes into flower as soon as tulips and narcissi have left off late May and blooms throughout June.

Tuberous and other begonias are typical outdoor plants that are famous for their rich flowering in the summer months. With suitable care it is possible to encourage even richer flowering.

First of all, we would like to clear up a widespread misunderstanding: Bulbs are not Tubers!

Indoor bulbs complete the circle and enable you to enjoy their glory all year round. In order for the bulbs to bloom they first need a cold period. You can simulate this cold period by potting the bulbs and putting them in a dark place for 3 months at a constant temperature of 9° C.

The words ‘surprising’, ‘unusual’ and ‘glorious pink’ spring to mind when we consider the magnificent Cyclamen Hederifolium. This plant flowers in (late) autumn. It has to be planted in early spring if it is to flower the following autumn, so you need to order your bulbs by March at the latest.

The scientific name of the Day Lily is Hemerocallis, or "Beauty for one day". And the flowers of this plant do indeed bloom for just one day, although as the next day the plant is covered with brand new flowers, you might not notice this. Amazing!
