How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
The August Afternoons Bulb Extension Collection was thoughtfully designed to pair with our August Afternoons Pre-Planned Garden, extending the display with a seamless succession of color from early to late spring. It also performs beautifully on its own, offering a reliable, season-extending mix that brings early interest to any garden setting. Dutch Crocus is among the first to flower, bringing oversized blooms just as the garden begins to wake up, providing an important early source of nectar and pollen for bees and other emerging pollinators. Tulips follow in mid-spring, and Allium finishes the display with crisp white globe-shaped blooms in late spring.
Together, these bulbs do more than fill bare spots with spring color while extending the season of interest with changing bloom times, flower forms, and texture. From the first crocus flowers to the final rounded allium blooms, this collection keeps the garden feeling lively and full of movement. The result is a compact planting that offers beauty, personality, and valuable seasonal support for pollinators right from the start.
Our August Afternoons Bulb Extension Collection covers approx. 8 sq ft, and includes 110 bulbs:
Peppermint Stick Tulip - 2 x Bag of 15
Yellow Mammoth Dutch Crocus - 1 x Bag of 20
Little Princess Wildflower Tulip - 2 x Bag of 15
Ping Pong Allium - 1 x Bag of 30
