Sustainability

We try to produce as sustainably as possible to keep our footprint small. Therefore, our mailbox boxes are made of grass paper and tomato leaf pulp is the basic component of the seed bags. The printing is either made of paper that is 30-70% recycled paper or paper that comes from agricultural waste. In addition, you have the option to plant a tree when you place an order through Regreener.

Planting out bulbs
Between October and December, you can plant out flower bulbs in the garden (scroll on for a video on this!). Wait with tulips until after mid-October, then you're less likely to have tulip blight affecting the bulbs. That disease diminishes as it gets colder. Always plant the bulb twice as deep as it is tall, otherwise they can't root well enough which will cause the stem to droop during flowering. Make a hole with a bulb potter and place the bulb tip up in the hole. If necessary, improve the soil with a small handful of clay minerals, which will help bulbs take root better. Keep a distance of an inch thick between bulbs if you are going to remove them after blooming. Keep five inches of distance if you are going to leave the bulbs in (forever).

Bulbs in pots
Depending on the size of the pot, you can put almost all bulbs in pots as well. Make a combination like a bulb lasagna starting with the late-blooming variety and ending with the earliest-blooming variety. In pots you can put bulbs tightly together, so you get a nice full pot. Make sure that the water always drains well, bulbs should not be too wet in winter, they will become soft and sprout badly. 

Bloom
Flower bulbs sometimes show their faces as early as December. The first spikes are already appearing. This is no problem and you don't have to do anything about it. As soon as it freezes hard, growth slows down and the bulbs need the cold to grow properly.

Which is what?

Bulb is a collective term for plants that grow from a soft bulb.

Naturalising bulbs - These are bulbs that naturalize very easily, meaning they can spread and come back every year. Plants also belong to this collective term, but bulbs that belong to it include crocuses and snowdrops.

Rhizome - among other things, wood anemones grow from a rhizome, which looks very different from a bulb.

Tuber - dahlias, gladioli and ranunculus grow from a tuber, large or small. Dahlia tubers look a little like potatoes.

How many hours of sunshine?

For each bulb variety, the best location is listed. Full sun means more than 6 hours of sun per day (in summer). Semi-shade is about 4 - 6 hours of sun per day, and shade is about 2 hours of sun per day.

What soil?

In general, flower bulbs grow best in somewhat heavier soil that doesn't dry out in the summer, but where the water doesn't stay in the winter either. A few bulb species can handle wetness very well, including Leucojum (summer snowflake) and Fritillaria (fritillary), but most will rot in wet soil.

Bulbs need plenty of nutrition available to them. In spring, preferably give the areas where bulbs are located a generous layer of compost.

Do you garden on very light soil? If so, add a handful of bentonite (clay minerals) when planting bulbs. This helps retain moisture and nutrition better and gives you better results.

Bulbs for cutting

Flower bulbs are perfect for cutting for a vase. Want to be able to harvest a lot? Then plant lots of bulbs, too, because most varieties yield only 1 stem per bulb.

Are you making a special compartment for bulbs where you plan to plant other annuals later? Then treat narcissi and tulips as annuals and remove them from the ground as soon as you pick them. Want to leave them in the soil? Then cut the stem above the last leaf. That leaf is needed to send nutrition to the bulb for the next season.
