Why Choose Wildflower Bulbs in the Green?

Why Choose Wildflower Bulbs in the Green?

Wildflower bulbs in the green offer a dependable way to establish spring-flowering wildflowers. Unlike dry bulbs, which are planted in autumn, bulbs in the green are supplied to you in an active stage of growth with visible roots and leaves.

Gardeners love them for many reasons:

  • Alive and thriving – you can see healthy leaves and roots at planting.

  • Strong establishment – freshly lifted roots settle quickly into the soil.

  • Fast results – many species flower within weeks.

  • Simple to plant – visible stems and leaves make positioning a lot easier.

  • Ideal for naturalising – they spread naturally in lawns, meadows, and woodland areas.

  • Supports wildlife – early blooms provide nectar for bees and other pollinators.

Planting & Care

How to Plant Wildflower Bulbs in the Green

What to Expect on Arrival - Bulbs in the green arrive with roots and foliage already developed. The leaves may appear soft or pale when they arrive - this is normal and they will recover once the bulbs are planted in the soil and the roots have established again.

Handle with Care - Unlike dry bulbs, bulbs in the green are living plants, so it is best to treat them gently during planting, especially the roots.

Prepare Your Planting Area - Select a spot with moist, well-drained soil. Clear weeds and loosen the ground before your bulbs arrive to give them the best start.

Plant Promptly - Unpack immediately and plant them out as soon as possible. Keep the bulbs cool and slightly damp if there’s any delay — do not allow the roots to dry out.

Planting Depth - Use a trowel or a bulb dibber to dig holes deep enough to accommodate the roots, make sure the bulb sits at its natural depth. Top tip! The pale part of the stem can be used as a guide for correct planting depth.

Spacing - For a natural appearance, plant the bulbs in small groups of 3–5 bulbs, leaving 10–15cm between clusters.

Watering - Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil into place. Keep the area moist for the first few weeks while the bulbs establish.

Aftercare and Multiplying - Once flowering is complete, allow the foliage to die back naturally — it helps the bulbs store energy for next year. Over time, many species will multiply and form clumps. Every few years, bulbs in the green can be lifted and divided after flowering to prevent overcrowding and to spread them to other areas of your garden.
