Some flower bulbs multiply happily, increasing in number from year to year. Without any further action on our part, they conquer large areas and transform them into a colorful sea of flowers in spring. Here are some great specimens that only need one thing: a few onions to get you started.
Which flower bulbs are suitable for naturalizing?
Flower bulbs that are well suited for naturalization include dogtooth, crocus, daffodils, snowdrops, grape hyacinths and winter aconites. Other varieties include harebells, wild tulips and ornamental onions. These species reproduce easily and transform gardens into colorful seas of flowers.
DogTooth
This bulb flower is also known as trout lily. The magnificent flowers can be admired from April to May. They grow wild in partially shaded, cool places with humus-rich, fresh soil.
Crocuses
In light, well-drained soil, crocuses of different colors weave a colorful carpet. Their propagation through bulbs and seeds is quick and easy.
Daffodils
They are also suitable for growing wild, but should get enough sun. The ideal soil is nutrient-rich and humus-rich and slightly moist in spring.
Tip
If the daffodils become a little lazy after years, they should be dug up and divided.
Snowdrops
If you want to see the first flowers of the year in January, this bulbous plant is the right choice. Plant the bulbs in a partially shaded location. The soil should be fresh and not too heavy. Then you can leave the rest of the work to the white bells. They set off with seeds and bulbs to conquer new territories in no time.
Grape Hyacinths
The undemanding grape hyacinths are particularly suitable for transforming large areas of the garden into a sea of blue on your own.
- they love warmth and light
- also a permeable soil
- then sow lushly
- occasionally in unexpected places
Winterlings
They have winter in their name because then they give us their yellow flowers. Whether mild or still snowy, February is yours. They are suitable for naturalization in a semi-shady place under bushes. The soil should be moderately moist and rich in humus.
Tip
The best way to start its naturalization is in spring by buying specimens that have already bloomed and planting them in frost-free soil.
Other varieties
Here are three more flower bulb varieties that are suitable for naturalization:
- Harebells
- Wild Tulips
- ornamental onion
Tip
The checkerboard flower is well suited for naturalization in very damp to swampy places, as it doesn't mind the wet.
