Indoor Bulb Plants

Indoor bulb plants are an easy way to bring colour and life into your home during the colder months. They work well on windowsills, tables, or anywhere that feels a little bare in winter. With flowers that open indoors, they add colour and, in some cases, gentle fragrance when outdoor gardens are taking a rest.

From hyacinths grown for their scent to amaryllis with bold, open flowers, these indoor bulbs from our collection are simple to look after and rewarding to grow. They suit beginners just as well as those who enjoy seasonal planting, and they also make thoughtful gifts at a time of year when colour is welcome.

Seasonal Interest

  • Winter flowering bulbs such as amaryllis, narcissus, and prepared hyacinths bloom indoors during the colder months
  • Late winter growth brings fresh green shoots and developing flower buds
  • Early spring bulbs including crocus and muscari add lighter colour as days lengthen
  • Indoor flower bulbs work well alongside houseplants for balanced indoor displays

How to Choose and Grow Indoor Bulb Plants

Growing bulbs indoors is very straightforward, even if you have never grown plants inside before. Taking a little care at the start makes a big difference once growth begins.

  • Choose a pot or planter with drainage so water does not sit around the bulb
  • Fresh compost works best, with just a light watering after planting
  • A bright room is ideal, but keep bulbs away from radiators or direct heat
  • The compost should stay slightly damp, not wet, while roots are forming
  • Most indoor bulbs will begin flowering a few weeks after planting, depending on the type

If you are looking to extend your displays, our spring flowering bulbs and flowering plants collections offer plenty of seasonal options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bulbs store everything they need inside the bulb itself, which is why they grow so well indoors. Once planted, they use that stored energy to produce roots, leaves, and flowers without much effort from you. Many indoor bulbs are prepared so they bloom without needing cold conditions.
Most indoor bulbs start showing green growth within a week or two. Flower buds usually follow a little later, depending on the type of bulb and how warm your home is. Some varieties are quicker than others.
Most indoor bulbs flower once when grown indoors. After flowering, some bulbs can be planted outside and may bloom again in future years, while others are best enjoyed as a one season indoor display.
Indoor bulbs do best in a bright room with natural light. A windowsill works well, but it is best to avoid strong heat from radiators or direct midday sun, which can dry them out too quickly.
Yes, some bulbs such as waxed amaryllis are designed to grow without soil or water. These bulbs use stored energy to flower and are often chosen for decorative displays or gifts.
Pots with drainage holes are always the safest choice. If you use a decorative planter without holes, place the bulb in a draining pot inside it to prevent excess water sitting around the roots.
Indoor bulb plants are very beginner friendly. They need little attention, grow at their own pace, and give clear signs as they develop, which makes them reassuring for anyone new to indoor growing.
