Pink flowers in the garden

Are you more of someone who thinks "the more pink, the better" and therefore want a lot of pink flowers in the garden? You are not alone, because the color pink makes everything prettier. Go ahead and plant the prettiest summer bulbs in different shades of pink.

Heat

Those who see "life in pink" see love and warmth without shades. It relaxes us and makes us happy. There are plenty of shades of pink: baby pink, powder pink, grayish pink, lilac pink, purplish pink, fuchsia, bright pink, or neon pink. These colors add friendliness to your garden. Summer bulbs come in different shades of pink. If you plant them in spring, they will offer you an ocean of pink flowers in summer.

Known pink flowers

Dahlias are by far the most well-known summer bulbs, offering most shades of pink in the range. They produce countless flowers. As long as you remove the faded flowers, the plant continues to create new buds, until the first frosts. Other popular summer bulbs are lilies (Lilium), calla lilies, gladiolus (Gladiolus), and begonias. They all come in shades of pink. With different shapes and heights, they together create a playful atmosphere.

Asset

Some summer bulbs are less known. Nevertheless, these secret gems are an asset to your garden. Think of the quite special peacock eye (Tigridia), the refined tulbaghia, the cuddly liatris (Liatris), the tropical eucomis (Eucomis), the Jersey lily (Nerine), and the distinguished crinum (Crinum). They are all sun lovers, available in pink and invigorating in the garden.

Planting

Do you have summer bulbs with pink flowers at home? It is time to plant them. Do this in spring when the frosts have passed. In four steps, you ensure a pink statement in the garden.

Find a sunny spot in the garden. Summer bulbs produce the most flowers in the summer heat.

Loosen the soil a bit by raking and remove weeds and gravel.

Then plant the bulbs in the soil. Remember the mnemonic here: dig twice as deep as the height of the bulb. However, there are two exceptions: dahlias and begonias are planted just below the surface. Thanks to the heat, they will grow faster.

Water the bulbs well to give them a good start.
