Bulbs to Plant in Summer
60 products
Planting bulbs in summer ensures vibrant autumn blooms that sustain wildlife as seasons change. Autumn crocus (Colchicum) and nerines provide crucial late nectar for queen bumblebees and migrating butterflies like red admirals. Meadow saffron thrives in damp soils, offering pollen to solitary bees. Cyclamen, planted in July/August, delivers winter flowers for early pollinators and shelters beetles. Snowdrop (Galanthus) and winter aconite (Eranthis) bulbs, planted by late summer, establish roots for early spring nectar. These summer-planted bulbs bridge seasonal gaps, supporting insects when natural food is scarce while adding beauty to gardens.
