About Our Potted Bulbs
Choose from bold statement varieties like Tulip ‘Jumbo Pink’ and Tulip ‘Jumbo Pink’ style pots, delicately scented narcissi, richly coloured hyacinths and architectural alliums, ready to drop straight into your containers or borders for an instant display. Most bulbs are chosen for maximum flower power, giving amazing colour and stunning scent just when the garden needs it most in spring.
These pots are ideal if you are short on time or space, or simply want guaranteed, well-matched combinations without having to plant bulbs in autumn yourself. For layered “bulb lasagne” planting, a large pot with a good drainage hole lets you stack the latest flowering bulbs at the bottom, a second layer of mid-season varieties and a top layer of earlier bulbs for months of interest.
This style of planting bulbs makes the most of rain, while free-draining compost protects roots from rot, even through winter frost. They can be enjoyed exactly where they are, grouped on a terrace or doorstep, or slipped into beds and larger planters to top up existing schemes and extend your season of colour, and you can always underplant with seeds or winter bedding for extra interest.
