Lasagne Planter - We select you three types of bulbs for a succession of blooms. Suitable for pots 12" diameter.
Most bulbs should be planted with their bases at a depth roughly equivalent to twice their circumference, although it can be beneficial to plant a little deeper on light soil to prevent drying out.
 
Alliums (of the onion family) are one of the best bulbs for dry conditions and are considered drought tolerant.
 
Most bulbs will be grateful for a scattering of bonemeal when planted and in springtime, and can be lifted and divided every few years to make new clumps.
