How Do I Incorporate Native Bulbs And Corms Into My Garden Design?
It's that time of year again – the time when our gardens begin to bud, our flowers start to bloom, and our bulbs and corms awaken from their hibernation. At Green Island Gardens, we're enthusiastic about all things plants and we're excited to share with you all about our latest range of bulbs and corms!
First and foremost, we want to emphasize that bulbs and corms are a fantastic investment for any garden enthusiast. Not only do they add visual interest and a pop of color to your garden, but they also require little maintenance and are relatively easy to plant – even for beginners!
Below, we've broken down our selection of bulbs and corms into several categories to help you better understand which ones may be best suited to your garden’s specific needs:
1. Spring Bulbs:
Spring bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, are classically beautiful and commonly used to bring a burst of color and joy to the spring garden.
2. Summer Bulbs:
If you’re looking for some stunningly unique blooms to add to your garden's color palette, then summer bulbs, like crocosmias and gladiolus, are a great place to start. These sophisticated plants are sure to turn heads!
3. Fall Bulbs:
When the temperatures start to drop and your garden starts to enter its hibernation period, fall bulbs, such as the cyclamen and sternbergia, will ensure that your garden remains lively and vibrant throughout autumn.
4. Corms:
Corms, like bulbs, are underground storage organs that are often planted in the same way as bulbs, and like bulbs, they can be a fantastic addition to any garden, some of our favorite corms include the crocus and gladiolus callianthus.
5. Alliums:
Alliums are a lesser known garden gem, but they're certainly worth the attention! These long-lasting flowers, which come in a range of colors, shapes and sizes, blossom late in the gardening season, providing a visual treat just when your garden needs a little pick-me-up.
In conclusion, bulbs and corms are a fantastic way to add color, meaning and beauty to any garden. They require little maintenance, are relatively easy to plant, and are perfect for gardeners of all skill levels. So whether you're a seasoned pro or a curious beginner, don't hesitate to dive into Green Island Gardens’ collection of bulbs and corms – we promise that your garden will thank you!
