Tips! This way you can buy high-quality flower bulbs
1. Hard bulbs are healthy bulbs
Both summer flower bulbs and spring flower bulbs should feel hard and firm. They should not be soft or dried out. Check carefully whether there are any bulbs that feel damp or even moldy. This may indicate that the bulbs may not have been stored properly or may be carrying a disease. Something you would rather avoid. The underside of the flower bulb must also not be damaged. So check carefully!
2. Large flower bulbs
The quality of a flower bulb can sometimes also depend on its size. Flowerbulbs Amsterdam always supplies the most beautiful and largest bulbs. The size of the bulb ultimately also depends on the type of flower bulb. For example, a tulip bulb is often larger in size than a crocus bulb. Don't be distracted by the color. There are light and dark colored spring flower bulbs and summer flower bulbs. That doesn't say anything about the quality.
3. Available and deliverable at the right time
If you want to buy quality flower bulbs, it is important that you can do this at the right time. Spring flower bulbs that are in the shops in the summer may be dried out and of inferior quality. For example, because they are not fresh or have not been stored correctly. Preferably buy spring flower bulbs from September to November. You are then assured of fresh and quality flower bulbs that can be planted immediately.
