Summer Ready Bulbs

Take a look at Mr Fothergill’s summer flowering bulbs to enjoy stunning blooms by the time the sun comes out. Sometimes referred to as nature's pocket-sized gifts for gardeners, summer flowering bulbs bless us with bright colours every year — even with minimal attention, making them particularly easy plants to grow! From different-coloured astilbes to breathtaking bearded irises, calla lilies and various types of gorgeous dahlia tubers, summer flowering bulbs are always worth the wait. Our winter planting bulbs are seasonally available through most leading garden retailers with select varieties also available online.

Winter is also the time for planting produce bulbs such as potato tubers, berry canes and asparagus crowns.

Growing Summer Flowering Bulbs in Your Garden

As one of Australia’s top suppliers of high-quality summer ready bulbs, we stock a wide range of plump and fresh bulbs from June to September each year, including various gladioli, hippeastrum, liliums, peony roses, dahlia tubers, and so much more.

To reap the rewards of beautiful summer flowers when the hot weather arrives, be sure to time your flower bulbs correctly! Whether you decide to plant your bulbs in pots, containers or flower beds, you can rest assured they will grow beautifully in any environment. To make a bright summertime statement, plant your bulbs in winter/early spring. We suggest planting bulbs in clusters or drifts instead of in solitary rows for a more aesthetically pleasing floral arrangement when they blossom.

Winter is also the perfect time to plant summer produce like potato bulbs and berry canes, as well as asparagus and strawberry crowns. When it comes to these plants, starting from crowns and berry canes is the preferred way to grow - not only will your crops fruit much faster from canes and crowns than seeds, you will also have access to a wide range of varieties, bred for the Australian climate.
