Layering bulbs for amazing spring potted feature
With the incredibly mild weather today, I was thinking of longer days and Spring and thought of this amazingly simple yet effective planter feature you can make. I was also thinking of the fresh smell of cut turf-grass and the wonderful emerald lawn color green.
Layer spring bulbs in a frost-proof planter for staggered blooms when the weather warms. Larger bulbs, like daffodils, go in first, at 8 inches deep; then tulips, at 6 inches; and smaller bulbs, closer to the surface. This is an amazing landscape feature that is mobile and can adorn your front entrance or accent a porch way or garage.
This is a great project and with minimal effort you can have a stunning Spring pot for 2013. It could even make a nifty Christmas present for a hard-to-gift person.
