Transform your space with beautiful flower bulbs

Bulbed plants, like calla lilies, amaryllis, and tulips, hold a certain magic. From a simple bulb, they burst into the most vibrant, long-lasting blooms. These are the kind you look at and think, “Wow – these really transform my space.” 

Lush, colorful, and simple, each flower bulb grows from its own energy-packed powerhouse as it delivers show-stopping floral with (minimal) effort. Perfect for those plant-lovers that want effortless beauty both indoors and out. Whether you’re after the festive drama of amaryllis or the graceful elegance of calla lilies, bulbed plants are a must for dynamic color and style in your home.

New to bulbs? Just want a refresher? Here’s what you need to know about growing these stunning beauties.

What are flower bulbs?

Think of flower bulbs as underground storage structures packed with everything a plant needs to grow and bloom. Popular bulbs like tulips, lilies, and amaryllis produce some of the most iconic flowers. They store nutrients and energy for high-impact beauty that’s also low maintenance.

At The Sun Grove, we have a handful of beautiful flower bulbs available for growing indoors and outdoors. These include our lilies: the Asiatic Lily, Oriental Lily, Calla Lily, and Easter Lily, and also our Tulip, Daffodil, Amaryllis, and Hyacinth.

Timing matters when planting bulbs. Spring bloomers like tulips and Easter lilies need to be planted in the fall to benefit from cold dormancy.

Meanwhile, summer bloomers, such as calla lilies and amaryllis, should be planted in the spring after the last frost. Indoors, you can plant year-round – as long as you mimic the right conditions!

Planting bulbs is simple and surprisingly rewarding. Outdoors, you can place them in well-draining soil with the pointed side up, covering them with soil about 2-3 times their height. 

  • Remember to water thoroughly after planting. 
  • If you want to keep them indoors (lilies next to the bedroom, or amaryllis for the holidays) use pots with drainage holes and a light potting mix.
  • Position them in bright, indirect light for the best growth potential.

Ah, our most common question. Here are five standout bulbs to dress up any room indoors:

Calla lilies add sleek, modern elegance to any room with their trumpet-shaped blooms. They thrive in bright, indirect light and bloom in a range of colors. The Calla lily is a beautiful flower bulb that offers the benefits of being both air-purifying and pollinator-friendly.

Amaryllis is the cooler season’s best friend. They stand out with large, bold flowers, and are frequently decorated for the holidays (or given as gifts!), thanks to their white and red blooms. Plant them in the fall for beautiful blooms during the holidays!

Easily one of the most recognized spring flowers, tulips bring vibrant color indoors. For the best results for your tulip bulbs, you’ll want to grow them in cool conditions with plenty of sunlight. The tulip comes in shades of pink, purple, red, orange, and yellow. At The Sun Grove, we offer a variety of bold shades to choose from, so take your pick!

Easter lilies offer pure white blooms which signify innocence and purity. They are the perfect flower for your bedroom, bathroom, dining room table, or anywhere that could use a bit of love. Easter lilies thrive in bright light and cooler indoor temperatures.

Hyacinths bring a lovely display of color and fragrance indoors. We adore them on dining tables, or as centerpieces in the living room. Hyacinths bloom in dense clusters, offering deep purple and pink flowers. They’re perfect for a sunny windowsill.
