Bulb Garden

If you’re looking for a great gift for the flower enthusiast in your life, consider buying a custom bulb garden from VanderSalm’s-Flipse Flowershop & Garden Center. A bulb garden comes pre-planted and will blossom in early spring. Each bulb garden is carefully designed by our talented staff to blossom with a beautiful shape and color scheme.  The colorful arrangement designed by our friendly staff can be enjoyed throughout the spring, and bulbs can be removed and re-planted in your outdoor garden to be enjoyed for years to come.

A bulb garden is typically arranged in a wide, deep pot with a clear drainage hole. Bulbs are planted at different depths, according to their growth patterns. For example, a hyacinth bulb is planted at a soil depth of about four inches, while a tulip bulb is planted about eight inches down in the soil. For this reason, a bulb garden requires careful planning and is best completed by a knowledgeable flower vendor like VanderSalm’s-Flipse. Our team of florists will be happy to arrange a bulb garden that suits your personal preferences. Additionally, you’ll save by purchasing your bulb garden locally rather than ordering it through a catalog.

Once a bulb garden has been purchased, care and upkeep is simple. Our staff will have already mixed an effective potting soil in which your bulbs will flourish. The pot should be watered generously every few days, or once a day during dry spells. After the first blooms are completed in mid spring, cut off the spent blooms and leave the foliage.  Another round of blooms will appear, leaving a beautiful array of flowers through late spring. If you wish to keep the bulbs for the next year, simply remove them from the pot, plant the bulbs in your outdoor garden and enjoy as they blossom each spring.
