Pots!

[Planningatripsoon]

What have people got in them? Thinking of planting tulips in one but want a few things of interest for now. Thanks!

Hellebores.

How about winter pansies?

Hellebores, Heuchera, cyclamen. I also currently have some with Kaffir Lillies which are just starting to flower but I suspect they won’t last very long.

Fab thanks!! I’m going to get on it today. Where do you plant your bulbs? In different pots and then just bring them out?

I've just put some tulip bulbs in with violas on top. I've put some crocus bulbs in another one, might get cyclamen for it too.
And a hellebore in another which is just developing flower buds, with tete a tete beneath.
Got a very sweet little low-growing rosemary in another.
And I just seem to have accidentally bought more tulips in the sale. I might have to find more pots...

I've planted tubs of tulips with forget me nots on top.

The forget me nots cost nothing as they're in the garden every year, I just dig small clumps up, they look really pretty when the tulips come up.

Dwarf iris. Plant lots in a very large planter fairly deeply and when they die back early summer plant summer bedding on top.

Miniature daffodils. I love the fragrant ones.

Hyacinths Mixed colours. They do need some support but you can use twiggy sticks, push in around the leaves as they start to pop up or use string. Very fragrant.

I plant all bulbs fairly deeply and over plant with summer bedding when the bulbs die back.

Lovely to see them push their way up in the spring. Feed every year.
