Having a garden in flower without effort look like a dream? It is not at all. Even those who regularly forget to water the plants and those who have already surrendered after seeing a geranium drying will easily get a real explosion of spring colors.
The secret lies in the bulbs: easy to plant, practically autonomous and capable of transforming any green space into a small flowery paradise. Just choose the right varieties and follow some simple tricks.
Because the bulbs are perfect for beginners
Unlike plants that require constant attention, the bulbs are masters in the art of survival. Cleans them in the autumn, you forget them during the winter and, as if by magic, flowers appear in the spring. No complicated pruning, no daily watering: if your relationship with greenery is made more than hopes than of certainties, the bulbs are for you. But which one to choose? Let’s see three easy to cultivate and incredibly scenographic: the Triumph tulipans, the Narcisi Thalia and the Iris reticulated.
Trulipani Triumph
Triumph tulips are a timeless classic. Appreciated for the robustness and the variety of colors, they adapt perfectly to both flower beds and pots. The flower, with a typical shape of the cup, blossoms from half to late spring and the stems, also very robust, resist well both in the wind and the rain. It means that you will not have to worry too much about the weather: your garden will remain colorful and lively even when the climatic conditions are less favorable.
How to plant them and take care of them
For a scenographic effect, crying in groups of at least 10-15 bulbs, perhaps approaching different colors for an extraordinary glance.
Narciso Thalia
Narcissus Thalia is a variety of extraordinary beauty, highly appreciated for elegance and delicacy. White flowers have the curious characteristic of inclining slightly downwards, and for this reason the mythological figures to whom they owe the name. They are perfect for those who want a refined garden without having to worry too much about maintenance: every year they will return to bloom without the need to be replanted.
How to cultivate them at best
If you want a garden that perfumes of spring without effort, Narcissus Thalia is certainly the right choice.
Iris Reticulated
Reticulated Iris are particularly suitable for those who love refined details. The flowers remember butterflies, while the colors range from blue to intense purple: these bulbous ones manage to bring a decidedly sophisticated note in every green corner. In addition, they bloom early, already at the end of the winter, in fact anticipating the arrival of spring.
Cultivation and care
The Reticulated Iris adapt perfectly to the vases, so they are an excellent solution also for terraces and balconies.
