Daffodils for Pots

There is a terrific gamut of daffodils to enjoy in pots, from the compact miniatures to the stately standards. They are an easy choice and their extensive range of flowering times allows you to have them blooming from August all the way through to October. You can enjoy more than one variety per pot too, by layering your bulbs you can enjoy a lasting and varied show. When potting them like this it is best to do it in stages (just like a potted lasagne), putting the tallest, and latest flowering varieties towards the bottom of the pot. Here is how to layer your bulbs in pots . The lower bulbs will easily grow up through the upper plantings. You can even add some winter flowering annuals (e.g. Violas and Pansies) to the top of the soil to add interest (and to remind you to water) while you are waiting for the bulbs to come through. An example you might try is Poetry in Motion at the bottom for October blooms, then Grand Monarch for some early colour (Aug/Sep) and sweet fragrance.

Hyacinths for Pots

Hyacinths are well suited to pots and their early blooms are a great way to break winters spell. The gorgeous blooms bring both colour and fragrance wherever they are grown. Potting them nice and close will help them stand tall and create a generous and memorable show. They are quite compact so look best in low, squat pots - don’t forget to ensure they have drainage holes (because they don’t like wet feet). Our top tip for Hyacinths in pots is to leave them in a shady spot until the leaves begin to grow, then gradually bring them into the sun, this will encourage strong root growth and enable them to stretch slowly and luxuriantly once the flowers start to form. Once they are up and blooming, Hyacinths in pots are easily transported to where they can be best enjoyed, you can even bring them inside where their perfume will fill your home.

More bulbs for Pots

One of the most common questions we get asked about spring flowering bulbs is “will they grow in pots”? Well the answer for the many is yes! It is not difficult to use potted spring bulbs to achieve some very beautiful effects. You can even layer a variety bulbs as a kind of ‘lasagne’ and achieve a longer lasting spring show. Planting your spring bulbs in pots allows you some creative freedom so you can indulge in that elegant pot of your dreams or go quirky and put some spring star flowers in an old boot! There are so many wonderful bulbs and containers to choose from, so why not have some fun! You just need to ensure there is good drainage holes and you use a quality potting mix. When you are picking your spring bulb pot or container, choose one that is in proportion to your bulb of choice. For example, one or two Tulips in a wheelbarrow sized container won’t be too impressive. A good rule of thumb is to use large, tall containers for large, tall bulbs and small, short containers for small short bulbs. To get the best display from your potted spring bulbs use a dense planting, you want them to almost be ‘cheek to cheek’ when you plant them. Then don’t be afraid to put some winter annuals such as Violas or Pansies on top - these will remind you to water and look good while you wait for the bulbs to emerge (they will find their way through no problem). Growing your spring bulbs in pots can have advantages, such as being able to be moved around to where they can be best shown off, or somewhere their fragrance is best appreciated. Once the show is over, you can even hide the fading foliage away behind the shed! Here are our Top Ten Tips on How to Plant your Spring Bulbs in Pots

Tulips for Pots

Tulips look fabulous in pots, using their impressive colour selections and forms you can create some fabulous, memorable displays. We have listed below our top tulips for the job, they are vigorous and reliable with compact foliage. Once you choose your favourites, all you will need to do is choose a good sized pot with decent drainage holes, add some good quality potting mix, then water - easy! Some of our top tips for planting tulips in pots is to plant the flat side of the bulb towards the edge of the pot (this is where the first leaf will grow from and so soften the edge), plant them closely for a generous, full display and to pop some winter flowering annuals on top to give your pot some immediate fanfare, with the added bonus in that they will remind you to water! Examples include Viola, Pansies, Polyanthus or foliage plants such as Dusty Miller will work too, the bulbs will easily grow through when it is their time to shine. Here are our Top Ten Tips on How to Plant your Spring Bulbs in Pots and don’t forget, all our bulbs come with easy to follow growing instructions.
