Planning to visit Keukenhof in March? Or still thinking what is the best time to visit Keukenhof in 2025? Will flowers be blooming in March?
What’s good to know is that gardeners at Keukenhof are using the so called lasagnia technique. The bulbs are planted in layers to make sure that during the Keukenhof opening season there are always flowers in bloom.
In 2024 the spring is early – actually the month of February 2024 was the warmest in the whole history of measurements. So we expect that in March Keukenhof will already have a variety of blooming flowers.
Update, 15 March 2024: Great news! Hyacinths, daffodils and even some tulips fields are already in bloom! I’ve spotted them today driving by Keukenhof. The daffodils fields are in Hillegom, and beautiful red tulips are just next to Keukenhof, across the road from the former Lowietje hotel (you can park there if you come by car) and next to the Duin en Meer bus stop (this is where the bus line 50 stops).

The outdoor flower blooming at Keukenhof in March usually starts with crocuses, narcissus and early tulips. But in the covered pavillions there are also hundreds varieties of tulips in full bloom! There are also several flower shows taking place in Keukenhof in March:
- 21 March – 26 March 2024 – Hyacinths and tulip show
- 28 March – 2 April 2024 – Freesia and chrysanthemum show
In 2024 Keukenhof works with timeslots. A maximum number of visitors will be allowed per day. If you already know the date of your visit, it’s a good idea to book tickets in advance.
