Our autumn flower bulbs have arrived at Sherries Estates! If you’re dreaming of colourful pots, fragrant flowers or a fresh look for your garden, October is the time to start planning.

A little planting now gives you something lovely to look forward to. And you don’t need a large garden; a sunny balcony, terrace or doorstep can be enough to create your own flowering display.

Find Your Favourite Flowers

For colour and fragrance: Double Freesias

Our Double Freesia Mix brings together colourful, scented flowers. Plant them in pots near your seating area or along a path where you can enjoy their fragrance.

For a classic white display: Paperwhite Narcissus

The Narcissus Paperwhite produces clusters of strongly fragrant white flowers. A lovely choice for anyone who enjoys a simple, elegant display.

For something dramatic: ‘Queen of Night’ Tulips

With deep purple-maroon flowers that can look almost black, Tulipa ‘Queen of Night’ makes a striking addition to a spring display. Pair it with pale flowers for a beautiful colour combination.

No Garden? Start With a Pot!

A pot of flowering bulbs is an easy way to brighten a small outdoor space. Choose a container with drainage holes and a free-draining potting mix, then follow the planting depth and spacing on the packet.

For a fuller display, plant bulbs in small groups. Choose varieties with similar flowering times for a burst of colour together, or different flowering times to spread the enjoyment across the season.

Simple Tips for Planting Success

☀️ Choose the right spot

Most spring-flowering bulbs enjoy sunshine and well-drained soil. Check the packet for your chosen variety’s needs.

🪴 Follow the planting instructions

Depth and spacing vary between bulbs, so keep the packaging handy while planting.

💧 Avoid soggy soil

Water after planting, then check the soil before watering again. Good drainage is especially useful during rainy weather.

🌿 Let the leaves finish their work

After flowering, leave the foliage until it yellows naturally. This helps the bulb store energy for future growth.

A Note for Gardening in Malta

Autumn planting dates can vary in our mild climate. Follow the guidance for each variety rather than planting every bulb at once, and ask our team if you’re unsure which to choose for your space.
