Tenderness and Charm of a White Flower Bed

Tenderness and Charm of a White Garden Bed

Tenderness and charm in a white garden bed - if you're interested in home and design trends, you've surely fallen in love with the white color too, whether it's a sofa, decorative vase, or a gentle white flower bed strip in front of your home lining the driveway. And what about a window box with designer hyacinths? Try to imagine how such a bed or planter would look, because white is so delicate and dreamy, tenderness itself.

Bulbs in White

We grow bulbs in well-drained soil. Waterlogged soil doesn't suit them, as the bulbs can rot. Bulbs are messengers of spring. They will be the first you'll see blooming in your garden bed. In autumn, plant narcissus and tulip bulbs.

• White Narcissus (lat. Narcissus poeticus) - is a plant from the amaryllis family. It's a perennial herb with a bulb. Up to 60 species of narcissus are known. Fragrant flowers from April to May. They reach heights of 20-60 cm.
• Hyacinth (lat. Hyacinthus orientalis) - flowers from April to June. Interesting for cutting and in original arrangements, it has magnificent clustered inflorescence. Try it in spring window boxes too. It will not only bring joy but also great admiration. It grows to a height of 15-25 cm.
• Crocus - delicate flowers from March to April, height 10-15 cm. Plant it in your front lawn too. The delicate blossoms will catch your eye every morning before leaving for work and lift your spirits.
• Freesia - originates from South Africa. The flowers are one-sided, with a distinctive, pleasant fragrance. It's a component of luxury perfumes. Suitable for wedding arrangements and decorations. White flowers on thin stems are the embodiment of tenderness in the garden bed and in a vase.

Other bulb representatives: majestic and magnificent Gladiolus (lat. Gladiolus), trendy Tulip, beautifully shaped flowers of Iris, Liatris, Lily - Lilium.

Perennials in White

We sow perennials, annuals, and multi-year plants thoughtfully. It's good to determine lines in the garden bed, especially according to plant height. We direct clump-forming plants towards the bed edges.
