In addition to the bulbs planted in autumn, 9,750 will be planted in spring. This year, that's 8,450 pansies and 1,300 centaury, which cost around 2,700 euros in total. They were supplied by the specialised company: W. Willkomm GbR, Berthold-Haupt-Str. 15, 01257 Dresden.
Together with 7,250 tulips, the above-mentioned pansies and centaury will bloom in the park by the Red Tower and 3,600 crocuses will beautify the castle square.
The plants can be found in the flower beds in the city centre on a total of 875 square metres of public greenery.
