Organic crocuses

Organicaly grown crocuses

Crocuses belong to the Iridaceae family (iris family) and are among the first flowers to appear in spring. They often tend to bloom before trees and shrubs grow leaves, making them stand out in the landscape. These star-shaped flowers can be perfectly combined with other early bloomers. Whether you plant them in the garden, in a pot or even in the grass, they will enchant you again and again.

Some crocuses belong to the Stinzen plants that have been naturalizing in Dutch gardens for centuries. They are the epitome of reliable beauty, as they faithfully return and even reproduce year after year.

Location

A crocus thrives best in a location with full sun or light shade. The soil must be well-drained to prevent excess moisture. Adding organic matter, such as compost, improves soil quality. Crocuses also bloom well in pots or in the grass. There's a spot for the crocus everywhere!

Flowerbulbs for bees

Crocus flowers contain nectar and pollen, making them attractive to pollinating insects such as bees and bumblebees. They play an important role in pollinating other plants and contributing to biodiversity in the garden.

Saffroncrocus

Although the saffroncrocus blooms in the fall, it is also classified under the spring-flowering category for convenience. Plant the tubers in the ground between August and October for enchanting late autumn flowering and winter greenery. The Crocus 'Sativus' is a loyal companion that will return for many years in the right location and with the right care.

  • There is a wide range of flower bulbs that bloom in spring and mark the beginning of spring! In early spring you can enjoy beautiful flowers such as winter aconites, crocuses, daffodils, muscaris, star of Bethlehem and wood hyacinths. As spring progresses, the tulips and ornamental onions will take over the show and fill your garden with their display of colour.

    Benefits of organic flowerbulbs

    When you choose organic flowerbulbs you can be sure that no chemicals and pesticides end up in the garden. These pesticides are harmful to bees and ensure that bees can no longer find their way to a nesting site. As a result, more and more bee species have been added to the red list in recent years. Together we can do something about this!

    Important for wild bees

    Did you know that there are wild bees that lay eggs in their nests that hatch in early spring? These newborn insect helpers immediately start looking for food in the environment. There are also insects that have hibernated and are in dire need of a hearty breakfast; the blooming flowers where nectar and pollen can be found! Just after winter there is little green and edible food available for these insects and planting early flowering flower bulbs ensures that there is food and the insects can gain strength for the summer to come.

    Tips for a flowery garden

    Plant different types of flowers, each with its own flowering time so that flowers bloom throughout the spring and there is food for bees and other insects in the garden. Do you also want to arrange your garden/box in such a way that you can enjoy flowers and the bees throughout the spring? Feel free to send us a message or ask us at the market stall, we are happy to help you! Also aim for more biodiversity in the garden and enjoy the first flowers and colors in the garden after the cold and dark winter!
