Find a location for your
Hosta that will provide some shelter against strong winds as it can split the leaves or scorch the edges.
By planting more than 1 layer of
Bulbs in a large planter or the border for that matter, you can create a colourful long lasting effect. For example: plant
Daffodils at 20cm and plant on top of them at a depth of 10cm
Crocus Bulbs. The
Crocus will bloom first followed by the
Daffodils on the same spot.
Plant early flowering varieties in the centre of the container and later flowering varieties around the outside of the planter or container. So by the time the early flowering varietes are dying off the later flowering ones will hide the dying foliage of the others. So you can have a blast of colour all season long.
