Flower Alerts 2025
6 May 🌷 Bloom Update from the Bollenstreek – Weekly Update
🌷 The tulip season is nearing its end, but you can still enjoy colourful show gardens at popular attractions like Keukenhof, Tulip Experience Amsterdam and De Tulperij until 11 May. The bulb fields have already been topped, allowing the energy to go into the bulbs for harvest later this summer. With the beautiful spring weather, it’s the perfect time for a cycling tour or sightseeing trip — and on sunny days, combining tulips with a visit to the beach is an ideal day out.
🎟️ Planning a visit? Book early!
Tickets, rental bikes, and sightseeing tours often sell out quickly during peak bloom. Be sure to book in advance to avoid disappointment and make the most of your visit.
🌷 Pre-order next season’s flower bulbs

*Please note! The flowering of spring flowers depends on several factors. The weather and the moment the grower removes the flower from the stem influence the flower fields. At Keukenhof and the other show gardens, different weather conditions are taken into account and the flowers are not removed from the stems. As a result, the flowers at the flower attractions bloom throughout the season.
When do the flower fields bloom in the Netherlands?
The most famous Dutch flower fields are the tulip fields. They bloom from the beginning of April until the end of April. But there are many more beautiful flowers to admire in Holland. In the spring, the hyacinths and daffodils bloom alongside the tulip fields. And from mid-August, the highly varied Dahlia flower can be admired in various show gardens in Holland.
