Daffodils bulbs, Allium bulbs, Tulip bulbs and more: explore our collection
Knowing which bulbs to plant in the autumn allows you to create a diverse, resilient garden that comes to life as soon as the weather begins to warm. At DutchGrown, you’ll find a wide range of flowering plants grown from bulbs, as well as bare roots, tubers, rhizomes and corms. Here are some of our favourite autumn-planted bulbs:

• Tulips (Tulipa): Tulips are the undisputed stars of the spring garden, available in varieties ranging from classic single-flowered forms to ruffled parrot Tulips and double blooms. They are perfect for a cut flower garden.
• Daffodils (Narcissus): Daffodils are reliable varieties that naturalise and multiply year after year, bringing shades of yellow, white and peach to your borders.
• Hyacinths (Hyacinthus): These are highly fragrant clusters of densely packed florets that add rich scent, vibrant colour and structure to paths and walkways.
• Crocus: Crocuses are cheerful, low-growing flowers that often push through the winter snow, providing an early source of food for pollinators.
• Alliums: These are architectural flower heads that rise on sturdy stems later in the season, adding height, texture, and colourful interest to beds and borders.

Bulbs for every stage of spring: early, mid & late-flowering varieties
Spring-flowering bulbs offer more than different shapes, sizes and colours. Their flowering periods vary too. By grouping varieties according to when they bloom, you can avoid bare patches and extend your garden’s peak display over several months.

1. Early-flowering bulbs: the first signs of colour
Early-spring flowering bulbs bridge the gap between the winter frosts and the start of the growing season. These varieties can push through the cold soil as early as late winter, bringing the first splashes of colour to beds and lawns.

2. Mid-spring bloomers: the height of the season
Mid-spring marks the peak of the spring-flowering bulb season. At this time, the garden bursts into a rich, eye-catching display filled with strong fragrance and distinctive flower forms.

3. Late-spring bloomers: a grand finale
Late-spring flowering bulbs carry the garden smoothly towards the summer. These varieties produce beautiful, dramatic flower heads that maintain interest through the latter part of the season, bringing spring to a close with maximum visual impact.

Frequently asked questions about spring-flowering bulbs

When to plant spring-flowering bulbs?
Spring-flowering bulbs such as Tulips, Daffodils, Hyacinths, Alliums and Crocuses should be planted in the autumn. These bulbs require a period of cold winter dormancy to develop strong root systems for spring growth. For the best results, plant them after the first autumn frost, once soil temperatures have fallen below 15°C, but before the ground freezes.

Which bulbs bloom in spring?
Spring-flowering bulbs are planted in the autumn so they can endure a winter chilling period required to trigger growth. Top choices include Snowdrops, Crocus, Daffodils, Tulips, Grape Hyacinths, and Alliums. For continuous colour, plant varieties with staggered bloom times and ensure well-draining soil with full to partial sunlight.

What are the longest flowering spring bulbs?
Alliums, Anemones, and Dwarf Irises are the longest flowering spring bulbs, often blooming for up to three to four weeks. Alliums stand out for their longevity, as their globe-shaped seed heads maintain ornamental structure after the petals fade. Additionally, classic choices like mid-season Daffodils and long-lasting Hyacinths consistently hold colour longer than short-lived varieties like early Tulips.

What is the difference between spring- and autumn-planted flower bulbs?
The main difference between spring- and autumn-planted bulbs lies in when they are planted and when they flower. Autumn-planted bulbs require a period of cold winter dormancy to stimulate root growth and prepare them for the spring. Spring-planted bulbs, by contrast, are tender, frost-sensitive varieties that should be planted after the last winter frost. They produce vibrant, abundant flowers from early to late summer.
