Anyone else planting a bulb lawn?🌸 A bulb lawn is referred to as Stinzenplanten in the Netherlands. This type of garden is centuries old and was cultivated with naturalizing wildflowers, both native and imported. These are considered stinzen plants or vintage bulbs and were introduced to Western Europe in the 16th century by explorers and botanists. Over time, these bulbs will increase in numbers putting on a spectacular display of gorgeous blooms from late winter through spring providing a food source for the pollinators! 🐝🦋🐦 This year we planted Early Snow Glories, dwarf irises, crocuses, muscari, and snowdrops. When planting bulbs, make sure to select a low-traffic area where it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight. Bulbs thrive best in well-drained and neutral soil and no standing water. After the flowers bloom in spring, wait till the foliage dies back before you mow the lawn so they can store energy in the bulbs for next year’s blooms!
