Choosing the Right Mixed Spring Bulb Collection

Every garden is different, so think about colour, planting spot and bloom time before you pick a mix.

  • Choose a single colour collection for a calmer look, or add hyacinth bulbs for fragrance
  • Pick a full mixed collection if you want a wide range of colours in one bed
  • Include allium bulbs to extend your display once the tulips and daffodils fade
  • Go for a bigger bulb mix if you're filling a large border or lawn area
  • Choose a smaller pack for pots, patio containers or a compact border
  • Think about sun and shade, since some bulbs prefer a shaded position

How to Plant Mixed Spring Bulbs

Planting mixed spring bulbs is straightforward once you know the basics.

  • Plant bulbs in autumn, before the ground turns cold
  • Plant most bulbs at about twice their own height below the soil surface
  • Choose a spot with good drainage so bulbs don't sit in wet soil
  • Space bulbs evenly for a natural, drifted look rather than straight rows
  • Water lightly after planting to help roots establish
  • Leave foliage to die back naturally after flowering, so next year's blooms are strong

Frequently Asked Questions

Plant your mixed spring bulbs in autumn, ideally before the first frost. Dig a hole roughly twice the height of each bulb, place it pointed end up, then cover with soil. Water lightly after planting, then leave the bed undisturbed until shoots appear in spring.
Our mixed spring bulbs typically include tulips, daffodils, crocuses and muscari, alongside other spring flowering varieties. Some collections focus on a single colour, while others combine several types for a fuller, more varied display throughout the season.
Most spring bulbs are best planted between September and November, while the soil is still workable. Planting earlier in this window generally gives roots more time to establish before winter, which supports stronger flowering the following spring.
As a general guide, plant bulbs at around twice their own height below the soil surface. Larger bulbs, such as daffodils, usually sit a little deeper than smaller ones like crocus or muscari, so check the guidance included with your order.
Yes, most mixed spring bulbs adapt well to pots and containers. Use a pot with good drainage holes and peat-free compost, then plant bulbs closer together than in open ground for a fuller display. You might also like our indoor bulbs for extra colour inside during the same season.
Many spring bulbs are perennial and will flower again in following years if left undisturbed. Letting foliage die back naturally after flowering, rather than cutting it early, helps the bulb store enough energy for next year's display.
Woodland-style mixes containing crocus, muscari and certain daffodil varieties tend to cope well with dappled shade under trees or shrubs. Sun-loving tulips generally perform best in an open, brighter spot rather than deep shade.
This depends on the size of your border and how full you want the display to look. As a rough guide, planting bulbs in groups of odd numbers, spaced a few centimetres apart, tends to give a more natural result than straight rows.
