Bulb Planting Tips from a Dutch Garden - Part 2

Create Rooms

Better Homes and Gardens magazine was involved at the 2009 Keukenhof. In fact, we had a display garden at the Keukenhof, which was designed and built to represent American garden style. It included garden beds, a fireplace, sitting area, and an outdoor kitchen.

Plant in Drifts

When you visit Keukenhof, you can't miss the gigantic beech trees that line the paths and roadways. Underneath each tree, you'll discover gorgeous flowerbeds. Here, 'Tete-a-Tete' daffodil, blue muscari, and red tulip 'Mad Lefeber' provide a carpet of color.


Test Garden Tip: For best effect, plant bulbs in large groups or drifts.

Make Great Combinations

At Keukenhof, garden design ideas pop up at every corner. Along this pathway, a trio of classic bulb varieties creates a memorable combination. It includes yellow 'Monte Carlo' tulip, red 'Fusilier' tulip, and 'Geranium' narcissus.

Test Garden Tip: Brightly colored varieties often look their best when planted near a white-flowering bulb.
