Sarah Raven bulb...They are lovely aren't they! Sarah Raven bulbs. I am not the world's best gardener, and things are always a bit hit and miss with me. These bulbs are a new lot, and I am going to leave them in the pots. I do have some I planted in some long grass 6 years ago, which seem to be quietly multiplying - and I mean quietly! Each year there are a couple more plants, but they are lovely and look very natural because they pop up where they will! I think once the tulips in the flower pots die down I will just put some petunias or something on top of them. The bulbs are planted in what Sarah Raven describes as a lasagna, in layers, so some are really deep down. What pops up next year will be a mystery I am looking forward to! Sorry, probably not much help!

Can I ask you - when you've grown tulips in a container, do you keep them in there a second and third year, or do you transfer the bulbs to the garden? I have some lovely frothy pink tulips which were gorgeous last year, but only 4 of the bulbs flowered this year. :( Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914227535503925006noreply@blogger.com
