Late-season flowering bulb colour from the selection at Beechdale Garden Centre
Plant autumn flowering bulbs in spring and early summer and you can look forward to a fabulous grand finale to top off your season.

And top off your display with some exotic-looking nerines in dramatic cerise pink – perfect for a sunny, well-drained spot.
Planting your flowering bulbs
Once you've got them home, planting your flowering bulbs from Beechdale Garden Centre in Co. Wexford couldn't be easier. Most are easy-going about soil, though for the showier types like tulips it helps to add a handful of grit in the bottom of the hole in heavier soils to help drainage.
Plant your flowering bulbs at a depth three times the size of the bulb: so tiny crocus corms, just 1cm across, go in at just 3cm, while big bulky tulips measuring up to 8cm across can be planted much deeper, around 24cm into the soil. Then just sit back and wait for the show to begin.
