Bulbs

Discover why tens of thousands of customers choose Tesselaar for their Bulbs

Here at Tesselaar we have are unashamedly in love with bulbs!

We have been growing them for three generations and still can’t get enough of them! It is just so good to be able to share this love with you.

Bulbs are like the buried treasures of the garden. They are so easy to plant and pop up right when and where you need the colour. They grow quickly, put on a spectacular show, then disappear until you need them again. Often their dormancy corresponds with gardening down times such as summer which makes them extremely low maintenance.

There are a huge range of bulbs on offer, they come in all sorts of colours, shapes and sizes and are suited to a whole gamut of garden situations and seasons. If you plant a variety of bulbs you can have something in your garden in flower all year round. Flowering bulbs give you a lot of bang for your buck – they are relatively inexpensive, a cinch to plant and will flower their heads off without a lot of fuss.

Bulbs grow well in both gardens and pots so no matter how big your garden is, there is always room for more!

At Tesselaar we pride ourselves in selecting premium quality bulbs. We grow them here on our farm with love and source a range from Australia’s best bulb growers, who, like us are focussed on excellence and value for money.
