How should I plant the Bloombol summer package?

You plant the summer flowering bulbs in April and May, once the risk of frost has gone. The large tubers/bulbs such as dahlias and gladiolus may be planted about 30 cm apart. The smaller bulbs, for example, the crocosmia may planted be closer together. Plant the bulbs and tubers approximately 10 cm deep. Dahlias can be closer to the surface of the ground. About 5 cm deep.

Characteristics of anemones Anemones are fine bulbous flowers of which some species naturalize. They belong to the ranunculus family. There are spring and autumn anemones. They grow to a height of between 50 and 150 cm, with spring anemones remaining lower and autumn anemones often exceeding 1 metre. Plant anemones in the autumn and in the spring. It is one of the few flower bulbs that can be planted in both periods. They bloom in both spring and summer. They come in the colours red, pink, blue, purple and white and grow up to 30 cm high. There are single and double flowered anemones. Anemone bulbs look like small, hard, dark-colored tubers. Where do anemones come from Anemones are native to southern Europe and Asia. In the Netherlands, the anemone has only been known for 400 years after its introduction by Carolus Clusius. Decades later, anemones were widely cultivated in Europe. Especially in France, nurseries were full of them. There are different colors of anemones, they all have a different origin. It is also believed that the type of soil determines the color. The red anemone is most common in Morocco, the purple in Israel and the white in another place in Israel. In the Netherlands, the eastern anemone, blue anemone, wood anemone and yellow anemone occur in the wild in various places. The anemone coronaria that you can also order occurs naturally in the Mediterranean, including France, mountains in Italy, Spain and the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Israel, Syria and Lebanon. What types of anemones are there? There are about 120 species of anemones. Most flower in spring and summer, but the perennial Japanese anemone blooms in the autumn. In early spring, in forest areas with rich soil, you can find the eastern, blue and the wood anemone. The wood anemone is white with a yellow heart and often grows on bank sides. The yellow anemone (Anemone ranunculoides) is rarer but can also be found in forest areas. At Bloombol we also have anemones in our range: the Anemone coranaria. This anemone resembles a poppy and grows on stiff stems in the colours white, pink, violet-blue and red. They are hardy to -10 degrees.

The gladiolus or sword lily is a leading summer flower that blooms from July to September. Long stems with several flowers emerge from the tuber, which start blooming at the bottom, and slowly get several flowers towards the top. One stem contains up to 30 flowers in many different colors with long green leaves that resemble a sword. The gladiolus originally comes from southern Europe, Asia and West and South Africa. The species that we know in the Netherlands are not the botanical gladioli but variations thereof. The South African species are the ancestors of the gladiolus from Dutch soil. A gladiolus is not hardy. You plant the gladiolus tuber when the soil is frost-free. A gladiolus does not have a bulb, but a tuber Gladiolus are not bulbs but tubers: often dry elongated tuberous roots. The tubers were formerly used in South Africa for food and medicine. The flower was already known in Roman times, but it was not until 1600 that the Dutch cultivation of gladioli began. There were only small quantities on the market for a high price, making the tubers available only to the wealthy. Gladiolus for victory The Latin botanical name for gladiolus is Gladiolus. This is derived from the word gladius which means sword in Romans. It refers to the leaves of the flower that resemble a sword. Back in Roman times there were gladiatorial battles. They fought for the death or victory of the gladiolus. Then there was a victory buried among the gladiolus. The flower therefore stands for strength, victory and pride. Colourful variations Gladiolus come in many different colors such as red, pink, white, yellow, cream, purple, orange and multi-colored. They have bell-shaped, narrow or wide flowers and grow from 20-30 to 200 cm. There are scented and non-scented varieties with sword-like leaves. There are a total of about 255 species. The gladioli we know are often large with large flowers. In addition, there are the smaller gladiolus for cut, gladiolus with frayed flowers and those with a butterfly-like interior. Varieties of gladiolus There are gladioli that are perfect for pots because they stay compact. But you also have species that grow tall, up to 2 meters. These are perfect for a picking garden. Gladiolus of which you can clearly see the core with pollen are very attractive to bees and butterflies. The species can be divided into three hybrid groups. The Grandiflorus group The Grandiflorus gladioli are large-flowered gladioli with often 20 to 30 flowers per stem that can grow to more than 100 cm in length. Well-known types are the espresso, evergreen, traderhorn and nova lux. There are also the frayed large-flowered gladioli in many colours. Nanus gladiolus Nanus gladioli are shorter varieties that stay below 70 cm. They have 7 flowers per stem and come in different types and colours. The flowers resemble those of small lilies. Three to four flowering stems emerge from one tuber. You often see the nanus gladiolus in bouquets. A well-known variety is the Nanus Nymph with white flowers and a pink pattern. Primulinus group of gladiolus Gladiolus from the Primulinus group have thin but sturdy stems and bloom all summer long. The stems are 60 to 80 cm high and the petals are large and have a cap that falls over the stamens. A well-known variant in this group is the butterfly gladiolus. This gladiolus has smaller flowers than the large-flowered varieties and has ruffled petals. Because of the (folded petals (like wings) with different colors on the inside and outside of the flower, they are known as butterfly flower. Well-known varieties are the purple with lilac blue star and shocking with a light pink outside but red inside. The primulinus gladiolus bloom from early to late summer.

This is because a dahlia, for example, can grow into a plant 50 cm wide. There are also summer bulbs that only produce one stem, such as crocosmias. Spring bloomers like tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils also have just one stem with one flower. Therefore, it is possible to describe the quantity of spring bulbs in terms of the number of bulbs. For summer bloomers, this is more challenging. As a result, we have opted for a description in square meters. Thus, in the size chart, you can see exactly how many square meters you get with a size S, M, or L package. <p style="border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; --tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Make it bloom!
