Sometimes, though, circumstances delay planting and the ground freezes in the winter. Plant the tulip bulbs as soon as the ground thaws in the spring, even if new growth has already started. Dig the soil up to a depth of 12 inches. Remove weeds and rocks. Break up soil clumps and loosen the soil. Spread 1 inch of peat moss on top of the planting area. Work this into the soil to the depth of 12 inches.
Daffodils and tulips start flowering early in the spring and continue through to early May so a succession of pots can be used or one large pot can be planted with a succession of bulbs. These containers really do shout spring is sprung!Daffodils. Daffodil varieties for pots need to be chosen with care.Many have a single large flower sitting on the top of a relatively tall stem with attendant luxuriant foliage so the actual flower power can be rather limited.ut tulips and daffodils should not be put in the same vase but they will happily grow in the same pot and can be mixed with other spring flowering bulbs to make either dramatic or long lasting displays. My favourite daffodils for this are the mid-season âTotoâ and âHaweraâ.
