Bulb Lasagne Pack No. 2

Bulb Combination No 2.

This is quite a low growing but long flowering lasagne combination that will flower from March to June giving you a lovely display from spring right into summer with very little need to add anything more that a few simple Viola and Bellis on top. I like to add Viola and Bellis to the top of the pop to ensure a continuous bloom from here until middle of next year!

Flowering Times

• March - April:  12 Narcissus Dwarf Mix will burst through first at just 25cm with their bright trumpet shaped flowers in wonderful colours of yellow, orange, white and even tones of pink and red!
• April-May        8 Greigii Tulips called Julius Caesar will then pop up towards the end of April at 20cm with it's lovely variegated foliage, followed by gorgeous dwarf red flowers that will give you weeks of colour on strong stems. 
• May-June:      6 Allium Christophii will make a bold grand finale with a fabulous shade of purple, in a large ball shape rising 50cm over the pot
• Oct - May:      Plant some Viola and Bellis into the top of the pot because there is nothing as trustworthy as Viola and Bellis to guarantee you a pot full of colour from now until well into 2027

Planting Time and Depth

• Ideal Time to Plant: October to November but don't panic if you haven't planted by December or even into January, they will still flower but just a little later than usual
• The Rule of Thumb: Plant every bulb at a depth equal to three times its own height. so tulip and daffodil bulbs need to go down roughly 15–20 cm (6–8 inches), while tiny top-layer crocuses or muscari only need about 5 cm (2 inches) of soil over them. 
• The Spacing: Keep the bulbs 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 4 cm) apart or roughly the width of one bulb, the bulbs must never touch each other or the sides of the pot, as contact can trap moisture and lead to rot,
• The Depth: The rule is largest & latest to flower should be planted first so for example Allium would go below Daffodils and Tulips. The smallest bulbs flower the earliest and therefore these go nearer the top of the pot
• Top Tip: Don't panic about the bulbs being too deep or over crowded, the lower shoots will naturally curve and steer around any bulbs sitting directly above them as they grow upward to reach the light
