These plants are frequently embellished with a powerful aroma that completes the aesthetic ambiance. These plants will readily find a home in gardens, parks, and flower beds. Different color combinations, when planted in groups, will provide incredibly attractive flower embellishments.
Tulip
Tulip bulbs are planted in bunches at a depth of 10 to 25 cm in the garden from September to November. They are able to remain in the soil and are best suited to well-drained garden soils in sunny locations. The bulb is pear-shaped or ovoid in form, with one side flat and the other rounder. Tulip cultivars are classified as wounds and later, based on the height, shape, and color of the blooms. They can range in size from 20 to 70 cm, with single, double, monochromatic, bicolor, or multicolored blooms.
Freesia
Freesia bulbs produce 2-3 blooms, each with 8 or more coronal leaves that have joined at the base to form a funnel-shaped shape. Cultivars are available in yellow, cyclamen, pink, purple, and white, and have a powerful and pleasant aroma. The flower stem is 60-80 cm long, with thin and long leaves. The freesia flower is frequently used in Easter table designs. Bulbs are planted in the fall and dislike damp soil and excessive rain.
Daffodils
Daffodil bulbs typically measure 6 cm in diameter. They bloom in yellow, white, and combinations of yellow and white throughout March and April. They can be high or low depending on the cultivar. Low ones are planted on rockeries, while high ones are placed in bigger groupings on flower beds or in other elements of urban greenery. They are cold hardy, and once planted, bulbs can remain in the soil for several years, creating a lovely aesthetic effect every spring. Daffodil bulbs should be planted in early fall in humus-rich garden soil at a depth of 12-15 cm in sunny areas of the garden.
