Can bulbs be planted in containers as well?
Yes, most bulbs are doing very well in pots provided there is good drainage and the containers are large enough. They should be at least 10 inches wide and 10 inches high. Plant about twice as many bulbs in a pot as is recommended. • How many bulbs do you plant on 1 m? This depends on the intended effect and the species used. For a natural looking result you need 15-20 tulips, 20-30 daffodils, 75 crocuses and 50 Anemone blanda. If you look for color effect: 60-80 tulips, 60-100 daffodils, 150 crocuses and 150 Anemone blanda. TulipWorld.com feels to make an impact there are minimum numbers that should be planted and that number is listed with each bulb. If you naturalize, divide by two! Potting the bulbs, multiply by two. • Are there any bulbs that like shade? Yes, for example: Chionodoxa, Puschkinia, Erythronium, Fritillaria meleagris, Hyacinthoides, Arum, Allium ursinum.
