Autumn bulbs

Just when summer is over, and you thought you were done with gardening, autumn bulbs are available in our garden centre. Get started planting spring-flowering flower bulbs. Create a stunning spring display with our autumn bulbs. From September, we receive the first bunch of spring-flowering bulbs. At our garden centre in Poynings, you'll find popular flower bulbs like daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, and many more. We do all that's in our needs to expose as much as flower bulbs as possible. Think of a design in your garden first, before you visit our garden centre. Flower bulb shopping can be fascinating but beware of buying too many bulbs. Unless you have an ample space to plant them, get started with autumn bulbs at Rushfields Plant Centre!

Spring-flowering bulbs

Autumn bulbs are called autumn bulbs because of the planting time. Autumn bulbs need to be planted in autumn to generate a dazzling spring display. From September, we packed our garden centre with stunning autumn bulbs you can plant in borders, beddings, and pots. Please choose from the offer we have available. Are you looking for a specific bulb that's not available at the moment? Ask one of our staff members to help you. They will look for a substitute or will lead you to the right place. To plant autumn bulbs, we advise you to prepare the ground with organic matter. To do all this, get the right handy garden tools at our garden centre. We sell shovels, rakes and gloves to ease this garden job.

When to plant bulbs

To make sure your spring border bloom fantastically, you have to plant flower bulbs on the right time. Autumn is the perfect season for planting spring-flowering bulbs. The ground is still warm from summer, and the weather is soft. Spring-blooming bulbs such as tulips and daffodils should be planted in autumn, from September to October. If the temperature is still too warm, wait until November and even December with planting autumn bulbs. Spring-flowering bulbs need several weeks to establish their root system. The basic rule for planting autumn bulbs is that they can be planted at any time, as long as the ground isn't frozen.

Autumn crocus bulbs

Besides the famous tulips and daffodils, you can also buy fantastic crocuses at our garden centre. We have several species available from September. Crocuses that push through the snow and show off their colourful flowers are a true sign of incoming spring. We are fond of this autumn bulb. Here's how you plant and take care of the crocus bulb:

  • Plant crocuses before the ground freezes in the fall, this can be from September until December, as long as the frost stays out.
  • Plant crocuses on a sunny place, in partial shade
  • Choose a well-draining soil
  • Prepare the ground with organic matter
  • Plant crocuses 3-4" (7-10 cm) deep
  • Water regularly after planting
