LATE SUMMER PLANTED BULBS

Late Summer Bulbs – Plant Now for Autumn Magic and Spring Surprise
As the garden begins to exhale the last warmth of summer, it’s the perfect moment to turn your attention underground, to the quiet promise of bulbs that, when planted now, will bring bursts of life and colour just when you need them most. Late summer is a time for forward thinking, and among the treasures to tuck into the soil now are the elegant Acis, vibrant Crocus, dramatic Colchicum, and the always-rewarding autumn and early-spring Iris.

These bulbs thrive when given a head start in still-warm soil, establishing roots before the cooler days arrive. Whether it’s the delicate nodding bells of Acis autumnalis, the silky saffron blooms of Crocus speciosus, the theatrical surprise of Colchicums blooming leaflessly from bare earth, or the slender, refined Iris that herald a new season — each brings an air of magic, often flowering when little else dares.

Plant now and let these quiet performers steal the seasonal spotlight — each one a small marvel, reminding us that even as summer wanes, the garden still has stories left to tell.
