The park

When do the flower fields around Keukenhof bloom at their best?

The blooming of the flower fields around Keukenhof follows the rhythm of nature, making it difficult to predict an exact blooming time. Generally, early blooming varieties such as daffodils, hyacinths, and early tulips bloom at the beginning of the season. As the season progresses, tulips begin to appear. Regardless of when you visit, the boat tour along the flower fields offers stunning views of typical Dutch landscapes.

Which flowers are currently in bloom?

Over the decades, we have gained so much experience that we have become very good at predicting when our bulbs will flower. However, much depends on the weather and that’s why the bulbs’ development stage might differ a little. During the season, we regularly post flower reports of what is currently in bloom.
