Best bulbs for containers
Bulbs are ideal for container planting and easy to look after.^ It's great fun to pick and choose your favourites. Plant them in autumn and look forward to a cheerful display that can last late winter through the whole of spring. There's colours to suit every taste and some are scented. ; Top tip: Use a pot with drainage holes and to maximise flowering, plant multiple layers of bulbs in the pot (known as 'lasagne planting').
