Our summer-flowering bulbs with purple, mauve, or violet flowers are selected for the richness of their colours, the diversity of their forms, and their place in the garden, in pots, or in vases. Within our range of summer-flowering bulbs, this category brings together cultivars in shades of lavender, mauve, violet, or purple, from the softest to the most intense. These bulbous, tuberous, or rhizomatous plants offer varied habits, heights, and silhouettes, finding their place in large borders, small spaces, on terraces, or in cut flower arrangements.
Discover the gladiolus 'Purple Flora', sought after for its true violet colour and its magnificent tall spikes, superb in cut flower arrangements as well as in the garden. More compact, the Glamini gladiolus 'Kim' is well-suited to borders, containers, and small gardens. The giant dahlia 'Thomas Edison' stands out with its large, double flowers of a purplish violet, very showy in borders and well-adapted for cut flowers. In a more plum-like tone, the decorative dahlia 'Jennifer Mary Ellen' extends the summer flowering with a beautiful presence in the garden. The arum or calla lily 'Picasso' has a very different style, with its funnel-shaped flowers washed with violet, elegant in containers as well as in bouquets. In containers, borders, or as cut flowers, the hybrid agapanthus 'Poppin' Purple' offers superb violet umbels on long stems. The alstroemeria Inticancha 'Navajo', with its long mauve-pink flowering and compact habit, is interesting for adorning planters and borders.
Depending on the species, these summer-flowering bulbs with purple, mauve, or violet flowers appreciate sun or light partial shade, in fertile, well-drained soil. Their requirements can vary from one variety to another, particularly regarding watering and hardiness. As a general rule, summer-flowering bulbs are planted in spring.
