Always true to variety
Lowest price per bulb
The early-flowering little blooms are small, but great in number and colour, as if heaven had fallen to earth. This modestly priced little bulb truly deserves to be planted more often, because she naturalises like no other.
The seeds of Chionodoxa have an elaiosome attached to them, which causes every fallen seed to be carried away by ants. The sweet little morsel is eaten, and the bitter seed is planted; more glory-of-the-snow in the garden. Wonderful, isn’t it?

Planting flower bulbs
When should I plant my flower bulbs? If you want beautiful flowers such as tulips and daffodils in your garden in the spring, you will need to plant flower bulbs in the fall. This can be done as soon as the leaves fall from the trees. Make sure that the spring bloomers are in the ground before the frost sets in.
Summer bloomers such as dahlias and lilies should be planted in the spring so that they bloom in the summer.
Planting flower bulbs is not complicated at all. The same principles apply in principle:
- do not plant the bulb too deep in the ground (usually between 8 and 18 centimeters)
- provide good natural conditions
- be frugal with fertilizer and let the bulb do its work
