Hi, I'm Sarah. In this article, I'll share my knowledge, enhanced with some research, about flower bulbs. I sincerely hope it's helpful.
“Plant bulbs and reap a smile”, a motto I can personally identify with completely, even my one-year-old son is absolutely crazy about it*.* Planting flower bulbs not only creates a beautiful scene, digging around in the soil with your hands also gives me welcome inner peace and joy between two naps, housework and my job.
When the vegetable garden and vineyard are still deserted in early spring, the crocuses bring a smile to my face in mid-February. A few weeks later, the tulip bulbs follow, and later in the summer, my absolute favorites, the dahlias (summer bloomers). All these flowers make me truly happy. Because I choose to plant different types of flower bulbs, flowers bloom in my garden from mid-February through November. This way, you can spend most of the summer outdoors and fully enjoy the colorful flowers.
Flower bulbs are small packages of floral power that keep us waiting for weeks, sometimes months, for results. But when they finally arrive, the wait is more than worth it. Flowers grown from bulbs are also often responsible for the first pollen that attracts beneficial insects in spring. They provide the first food. In spring, we enjoy the first flowers emerging from the bulbs, which is always a special moment. The sight of all that floral splendor is a real boost when the days are often still short and dark, and you attract beneficial insects to your garden—win-win!
When you think of flower bulbs, you might automatically think of tulips , daffodils , hyacinths, and crocuses. But as I mentioned before, you can admire flowers from bulbs in your vegetable garden well into November. Dahlias , for example, can be harvested from corms until the first frost. Incidentally, some bulbs bloom earlier than others, giving you a staggered flowering period in your garden.
By planting different types of flower bulbs, you can create a playful effect in your garden. Give your creativity free rein by planting the bulbs naturally, for example, by scattering them loosely for a spontaneous and colorful result.

Types of bulb plants
Bulbs can be divided into two types: spring bulbs and summer bulbs. This distinction is important for determining your planting periods.
There are also perennial bulbs, such as hyacinths, which can flower for several years in a row and are therefore a sustainable choice for the garden.
