FAQS for Buying Other Bulbs Online

What are the best summer-flowering bulbs for a colorful garden?

Some of the top-performing summer-flowering bulbs include Gladiolus, Calla Lilies, Asiatic Lilies, and Ranunculus. These bold bloomers offer eye-catching flower forms, vibrant colors, and are perfect for containers, borders, and cut flower gardens. Their unique shapes and textures make them ideal for gardeners looking to go beyond the basics and create a truly show-stopping garden display.

When should I plant Gladiolus, Calla, Lily, and Ranunculus bulbs?

These spring-planted bulbs thrive when planted after all danger of frost has passed. Wait until the soil warms and temperatures are consistently above freezing. This gives them the perfect start for summer blooming success, letting them soak up the sunshine and establish strong roots before putting on their colorful show.

How do I care for summer-flowering bulbs after planting?

Start by planting in well-drained soil in full sun. Water thoroughly at planting, then mulch with 3–4 inches of arborist mulch to retain moisture and stabilize soil temperatures. Use the Finger Test to avoid overwatering, and deadhead faded flowers to keep blooms coming. These bulbs are generally low maintenance and reward you with vibrant blooms for weeks on end.

Are Gladiolus, Calla Lilies, and Ranunculus good for cut flower arrangements?

Absolutely! These flowering bulbs are cut flower garden staples. Gladiolus delivers tall, elegant spikes of blooms, Calla Lilies bring drama and grace, and Ranunculus offers lush, rose-like petals in a rainbow of hues. Their strong stems and long vase life make them favorites for summer bouquets, centerpieces, and home décor.

Can I grow summer bulbs in containers or small spaces?

Yes! Many of these bulb-grown flowers thrive in containers. Use a well-draining potting mix, ensure your container gets full sun, and don’t forget to water consistently. Compact varieties like Calla Lilies and Ranunculus are especially great for pots, patios, and balconies—perfect for renters, small-space gardeners, or anyone looking to add a splash of color with container gardening.
