How to Propagate and Grow
Summer Flowering Bulbs

Summer flowering bulbs are often overlooked, because most people associate bulbs with spring and that is not surprising.

Just look how popular the likes of daffodil and crocus are. And these are well known bulbs that flower in spring.

But just because its summer it doesn't mean you can't grow bulbs that flower in your garden ( yard ) through the summer season.

There is a vast array of bulbs that flower in the summer to choose from, all adding shape, texture and colour to your borders, beds, window boxes and tubs.

Some summer bulbs start flowering in spring and continue through into summer.

Others flower in summer and continue through into autumn or into winter.

And then there are those that just flower in the summer months.

So chosen with care you can have flowering bulbs in your garden ( backyard ) all year round. Now that’s what's needed, plants that flower all year round.

There are loads to choose from and once planted most are just left to grow and grow with very little, if any, care needed from you.

You can choose from Alium, Brodiaea, Crocosmia, Cyrtanhus, Dahlia, Galtonia, Hedychium, Iaxia, Moraea, Polianthes, Ranunculus, Scilla, Tigridia, Zephyranthes, to name but a few.

They will all give you weeks and weeks of enjoyment and pleasure.

So, planned correctly and choosing the right bulbs you can have a display that will add colour to any summer flowering garden.
