Bulbs and Pots

hi

Most of my pots and tubs are planted with bulbs I just leave them where they are and nature just waters them.

If you are buying dried Fritillaria meleagris blubs, then before you plant them, soak them overnight in warm water. Even then the chances of them all growing are very small. The ones sold are mostly dead, as are Snowdrops.

Thanks for the tips and hints - sounds like I shouldn't even bother with the Fritillarias!
