Bulbs to Plant in Winter
95 products
While most bulbs prefer autumn planting, a few hardy varieties can still be planted in winter during mild spells. Snowdrops (Galanthus) 'in the green' (planted January-February) establish quickly to feed early bumblebees. Winter aconites (Eranthis) planted in December will bloom by February, offering golden pollen when little else grows. Late-planted crocuses still flower in time for queen bees’ emergence. These last-minute plantings create instant wildlife value, with their flowers providing emergency rations for starved pollinators after winter. Even delayed plantings help bulk up nectar corridors, ensuring no pollinator goes hungry as nature wakes in spring.
