Flowering during opening weekend

Keukenhof Gardens is the perfect place to admire flowers in the Netherlands from the very first day of opening. While most tulip fields may not yet be in full bloom by the end of March, the first flower fields can already be enjoyed. Depending on the weather, the early tulips may also start to bloom.

Inside the flower park, it is mainly the early bloomers that take center stage. These include crocuses, daffodils, and early tulips. Please keep in mind that the blooming of spring flowers depends heavily on weather conditions. Stay up to date with our Flower Forecasts to track the latest blooming developments.
