Bulbs Dutch Grown, what’s this all about, well, I will tell you further down on the page.

This post is all about Dutch grown Spring bulbs. Last September I was contacted by a Dutch bulb company. They seemed to like my website and as they have just set up a UK website where you can purchase their Dutch bulbs I was asked if I would give them a thumbs up.
Okay, there was something in it for me, a load of Spring bulbs. I had to think about it, but not for too long,
Anyway, the bulbs arrived in Early November and I didn’t waste time in getting them planted up. They were all a good size and didn’t half make our Spring garden zing.
Where did they come from? (Dutch Grown, established 1882)
This late flowering tulip with strong stems coped very well in our rather windy area of the UK. Surprised me, growing up to a height of 90 cm/3ft the sturdy stems kept them upright and looking very good indeed.
If you are a fan of double tulips, you will love Brisbane. The orange/peach and pink flowers have a frilly edge.
At 18 inches tall and blooming April/May, this one is perfect for front of the border or in pots.

In the past, I was always disappointed with outdoor Hyacinths, they never lived up to the performance of the indoor ones.
Hyacinth Royal Navy has made me think again, gorgeous chunky blooms with a heady fragrance. Buy Hyacinth Royal Navy

There’s more to your spring garden than daffodils, crocuses and tulips. Yet so embedded are these beautiful flowering bulbs in our gardening psyche that it’soften hard to see beyond them – which is a great shame. At this time of year, garden centres and nurseries are groaning with traditional spring flowering bulbs but also some far more exciting and arguably classier late spring and summer bloomers.

Autumn Sown, Well Grown I know I do bang on about it, but autumn sowing of hardy annuals in a greenhouse or coldframe really does make all the difference.
