Spotlight on Summer Bulbs to Plant

Dahlias

Dahlias are among the most popular summer bulbs thanks to their wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes. From small pompom types to giant dinner-plate blooms, Dahlias bring drama and brightness to any garden. They love full sun and well-drained soil. Plant your tubers about 10-15cm deep, and support taller varieties with stakes as they grow.

Amaryllis

Known for their large, trumpet-shaped flowers, Amaryllis bulbs add a touch of tropical elegance. They bloom in dazzling reds, whites, and pinks and thrive in sunny, sheltered spots. Plant bulbs with their necks just above the soil line and water sparingly until shoots appear.

Zantedeschia (Calla Lilies)

Zantedeschia, or Calla Lilies, are prized for their sleek, sculptural flowers and glossy foliage. These bulbs prefer rich, moist soil and partial shade, making them great for borders or containers. Their elegant blooms are perfect for fresh-cut bouquets or garden focal points.

Gladioli

Gladioli are classic summer bulbs with tall spikes of vibrant flowers ranging from soft pastels to bold reds and oranges. They are excellent for cutting gardens and add height and structure to flower beds. Plant corms 8-10cm deep in well-drained soil with plenty of sunshine.

Tips for a Successful Summer Bulb Garden

  • Choose healthy bulbs: Look for firm, plump bulbs without mold or soft spots.
  • Prepare your soil: Work in compost or organic matter to improve drainage and fertility.
  • Plant at the right depth: Follow specific planting depth guidelines for each bulb type.
  • Water carefully: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during bulb establishment.
  • Feed regularly: Use a balanced fertilizer to promote strong growth and blooms.
  • Protect from pests: Watch out for bulb-eating insects and snails, and take appropriate measures.
