Organic bulbs in development
Tulipsgreen is the company run by Jochem and Peter, who grow organic tulip bulbs alongside their regular bulb cultivation in the Noordoostpolder.

Since 2019, they have used Tulipsgreen as a space to explore how things can be done differently. Not because it is easy, but because they believe that bulb cultivation needs to be more future-proof. They are experimenting with growing without artificial fertilizers and chemical agents, learning step by step what actually works.

All bulbs are organically certified and carry the SKAL quality mark.

So, what you plant in your garden is more than just a tulip bulb. It is a bulb from a system that is still very much in development, with an emphasis on soil, nature, and the long term.

Did you know that only 0.24% of all flower bulbs in the Netherlands are grown organically? By choosing a flower bulb from Tulipsgreen, you are consciously opting for biodiversity, for future-proof agriculture, and for a bulb that has grown with the help of nature—not at its expense.

Plant flower bulbs in the autumn, between October and December, and make sure they are in the ground before the first frost. This gives them enough cold to bloom properly as well as time to develop sturdy roots.

Dig a hole that is two to three times as deep as the height of the bulb (usually about 10–15 cm). Depth is important: it protects the bulb from frost, prevents dehydration, and ensures strong stems. Place the bulbs with the pointed end up and leave some space between each bulb. Cover them with soil and water them if the weather remains dry for an extended period.

Flower bulbs are not just for the garden – they also do excellently in pots. Depending on the size of the pot, you can use almost any type of flower bulb. Ensure the pot has a hole in the bottom so that excess water can drain away properly. Bulbs do not like 'wet feet': if they remain too wet in the winter, they can rot and sprout poorly.

For a long flowering period, you can create a so-called 'bulb lasagna': plant in layers, with the late-blooming varieties (such as tulips) at the bottom, mid-season bloomers (such as daffodils) above them, and the earliest bloomers (such as crocuses) on top. In a pot, you can plant bulbs closer together than in the ground – this actually creates a full, exuberant display. Place the pot in a cool spot outside and protect it with bubble wrap or burlap during severe frost.

This is how you bring spring to your balcony, patio, or windowsill with just a few well-planted pots.

You can use flowers from flower bulbs in two ways: you can leave them in the ground so that they (possibly) return, or you can harvest them, bulb and all, for a vase or bouquet. Both options have their charm – it depends on the variety and on your plans for the garden.

If you leave the bulbs in the ground, it is important to let the foliage die back naturally. This allows the bulb to store energy for a new bloom. However, not all flower bulbs return every year. Botanical tulips, daffodils, grape hyacinths, and ornamental onions are good examples of varieties that, with a little care, can be made to return year after year. Many large tulip varieties (such as double or fringed tulips), on the other hand, are often less reliable as perennial returners – they provide the best results in the first year.

If you harvest flowers, bulb and all, you get an extra-long vase life and a unique, natural look. Ideal for picking gardens or field bouquets. Keep in mind, however, that you are removing the bulb and thus only have one blooming season.

Do you want to enjoy your bulbs for a long time? Then choose varieties suitable for naturalizing – and give them a spot where they can quietly go their own way.
