When to Plant Summer Flowering Bulbs

Mention bulbs and most think of hosts of golden daffodils or triumphant tulips bringing welcome colour to gardens as spring breaks after a dormant winter.

But there is a selection of summer flowering bulbs which also produce an array of stunning and colourful blooms. Dahlias, lilies, eucomis, crocosmia and begonia are among favourite summer flowering bulbs and with good reason. All produce impressive displays of delightful flowers in a wide variety of blooms and colours.
