Spring planting bulbs by purpose
Summer flowering bulbs will provide colour and interest in the garden from early summer right through to the first frosts of autumn. Versatile, they can be used to fill gaps in your border, create stunning hanging basket or pot displays and many make excellent cut flowers. Some are wildlife friendly, attracting pollinators and some are scented.
