We often don't think of bulbs are container garden plants, but they work just as well in containers as they do in the ground.

Yes, the deeper bulbs of the same variety will come up later and provide blooms longer. Thanks.

Isn't it true that the smaller blooming bulbs break dormancy and bloom before larger bulbs like tulips, daffodils and hyacinths that bloom later in the season?

I need to do more of this. In fact, I might just mosey out tomorrow and pick up some bulbs to plant a big container for my deck. thanks. webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-39059287223216850972013-10-29T01:55:59.501-05:002013-10-29T01:55:59.501-05:00I agree that layering is a great idea and that it ...I agree that layering is a great idea and that it you let them die down properly when they have finished you can have a repeat each year. I think many gardeners neglect the dying down part and I did a post last year called 'down daffy lily!'<br />Think it's a bit of a simplification to say the small ones come first!Roger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.com
