Summer flowering bulbs for pots

5 replies

Any recommendations please for summer flowering bulbs for pots to replace my now going over hyacinths?
Half the pots are in full sun, half in partial shade.
I like pink, purple, blue or white colours.

Dahlia, begonia, Lilly and gladioli. To extend the display some chrysanthemums.

Does it have to be bulbs? Garden centres will be full of young plants for pots round about now.

Have been given some freesia and persian buttercup bulbs so will try those.
Wanted bulbs as the pots are visible from my bed (I am disabled and often completely housebound) so I enjoy watching them emerge plus bulbs are easier for me to buy online and to plant.

I was going to suggest the ranunculus/Persian Buttercups, maybe some begonias, which are corms.

Good luck with the freesias, I have never managed to get them to grow.

Thanks. If they emerge I will post a photo
