Colorful all year round. With flower bulbs
When you think of flower bulbs, you usually think of the colorful fireworks of tulips, hyacinths and daffodils in April and May. However, bulbous plants bring color to the garden not only during this short period, but also from the end of February through to the summer, making them an indispensable part of any mixed border planting.
We offer you a wide selection, from low to tall growth, in many different colors and shapes, for large areas and small niches and sometimes also for cut flowers. A variety of plants that goes beyond what is widely available and ensures that the wish that "perennial pope" Karl Foerster gave as an introduction to his flower bulb book is fulfilled - that garden lovers can finally look through garden fences with curiosity without just the old feeling: "Oh, I have that in my garden too - blooms a little later in my garden, stands here on a warm house wall." All the bulbs we offer come from controlled horticultural propagation and are not taken from wild stocks.
All bulbs are available from the beginning of September, the decorative lilies from the end of September. They can be planted as long as the ground is still open; we finish shipping around mid-December. We offer you the best available qualities. All the necessary information on planting and care can be found on the packaging or here in the text.

- Mixture: flower magic and bee food from February
- Runs wild well: large populations form over the years
Crocuses are an excellent bee pasture. Their nectar supply is essential, especially for the wild bee species that fly early in the year (including many bumblebees). All the better that crocuses are very suitable for growing into large colonies. They thrive in sunny to semi-shady locations with well-drained soil in beds or meadows and flower continuously from February to March. To achieve the most natural-looking planting pattern possible, the bulbs should be scattered over a wide area and planted where they have fallen to the ground (planting depth 6 to 8 cm). This mixture of 75 bulbs is sufficient for an area of about one and a half square meters.
15 bulbs of each of the 5 varieties described. All information on planting and care can be found on the packaging. Flowering from February to March. Optimum planting time: September to November, in mild years until December.
