Kickstart spring with potted bulb flowers
Craving for a bit of colour? Potted bulb flowers are about to bloom in a riot of cheerful, vibrant colour. This makes them the perfect, easy way to create an instant splash of spring. Indoors and outdoors!
From bulb to bloom
Potted bulbs are flower bulbs that have been planted in a pot by the grower. The bulbs are then allowed to sprout and continue growing in the greenhouse, but not for too long. Because they’ll bloom at your home! Well-known potted bulb flowers include hyacinths (Hyacinthus), grape hyacinths (Muscari), tulips (Tulipa) and daffodils (Narcissus). You should also consider lesser-known potted bulbs such as crocuses (Crocus), irises (Iris) and snake’s head fritillary (Fritillaria).
Spring everywhere
Potted bulb flowers are a quick and easy way to bring spring to your home. Don’t limit these beautiful blooms to the living room, because every room could use a touch of spring! Consider putting them in the hallway, the kitchen and your home office. They’re also great for brightening up outdoor spaces – from terraces to balconies. Place a pot of bulb flowers next to your front door for some instant cheer!
Low maintenance, lots of colour
Potted bulb flowers are very low maintenance. Just place them wherever you want to add some colour, water them occasionally and then enjoy the beautiful blooms. That’s all there is to it! Do you have a garden? After flowering, you can plant the bulbs (including leaves) in the border. With any luck, gorgeous flowers will reappear again next year.
Styling tips
- Mix white and yellow potted bulb flowers for the ultimate spring feeling. They’re also beautiful during Easter!
- Fill a large container with one variety in different colours, e.g. white, yellow and orange daffodils. This adds a botanical atmosphere to your indoor or outdoor spaces.
- Mix & Match: you can also separate the bulbs and place them individually in a collection of pots. You can also mix them with other bulbs.
