Tulip 'Queen of Night'
Farmer Gracy is honoured to be featured at Keukenhof, the celebrated Garden of Europe, set within the renowned bulb-growing region of the southern Netherlands. Among the world’s most extraordinary showcases devoted almost entirely to spring-flowering bulbs, Keukenhof spans 32 hectares of meticulously designed gardens, planted with approximately seven million flower bulbs. Each spring, growers present both established favourites and newly introduced cultivars, offering you the opportunity to observe how they flower, mature and harmonise within broader planting compositions.
Planning Farmer Gracy displays at Keukenhof begins many months before autumn planting commences. Each season, cultivars are selected for their distinction in flowering time, colour, form, texture and the contrast they bring to layered planting schemes. Experiencing bulbs in bloom is an essential part of understanding how they behave in a garden. Here, new introductions can be observed under true growing conditions, revealing how they establish, flower and settle among mixed plantings as the season unfolds. Alongside the varieties themselves, we also compose planting combinations and display layouts intended to inspire ideas that can be interpreted and adapted within your own garden.
Visit Keukenhof between March and May as the gardens move through successive waves of bloom. While Keukenhof is celebrated for its tulips, the displays extend far beyond them, encompassing daffodils, hyacinths, muscari, fritillaries, alliums and many other bulb varieties. Mid-April is often considered the finest moment to experience the widest range in flower, although timing shifts subtly from year to year in response to weather conditions. Throughout the gardens, many of the varieties grown and sourced by Farmer Gracy can be found woven among layered spring plantings that gradually change over the course of the season. For many gardeners, a visit to Keukenhof becomes part of the creative process itself, offering inspiration and planting ideas that continue to inform garden plans long after spring has faded.
Explore the Farmer Gracy Keukenhof Collection, a selection of bulbs showcased each spring at Keukenhof, one of the world’s most celebrated gardens devoted to spring flowering bulbs. Chosen for their distinction in colour, form and flowering performance, these varieties feature within the planting displays that make Keukenhof renowned among gardeners across the world.
