much space or just brighten up a corner of a patio area, summertime
bulbs provide the perfect answer. This short article will certainly
focus on growing summertime blooming bulbs in garden planter box and will include varieties especially suited to this purpose.
It doesn't actually matter exactly what type of container you use to grow your bulbs in, you simply need to remember to make use of a planter large enough for the bulb or bulbs you are planting and offer lots of excellent drainage by including gravel or damaged crockeries to the bottom of your pot. Amaryllis belladonna or belladonna lily is a very dramatic, pink trumpet, lily-like bulb that make excellent showy plants for a greenhouse or a big conservatory. Plant these bulbs in deep planters utilizing a loam-based garden compost with included grit. As soon as grown don't overwater. These bulbs will require protection over the winter season. If you want a showy bulb to plant among colourful summer bed linen plants in outdoor planters then pick Cannas. These bulbs turn into tall flowers with bold leaves and spear shaped flowers.

Eucomis
or Pineapple Flower make fantastic display plants for outdoor planters
on outdoor patios and decking. Once in flower they are long enduring and
will flower well into the fall. Plant as much as 3 bulbs in a large
deep pot and utilize a loam-based garden compost with included grit.
Once they start to emerge, the plants will certainly require plenty of
water and a weekly feed with tomato feed during the summertime. Slugs
and snails enjoy them, so be vigilant once the young leaves appear. Some
bulbs really do best in containers. Nerines for instance do well in
pots permanently. This lovely pink late summer/early autumn blooming
bulb likes to continue to be settled once it is grown. Make use of a
loam-based compost mixed with grit seeing to it you leave the tips of
the bulbs revealing through the surface. If you have heavy clay soil and
you want to grow lilies, then you are best to plant them in outdoor
planters. This doesn't have to dictate where you put them as pots and
containers can be easily slotted into spaces in flower borders (a good
suggestion is to use black plastic containers which become invisible as
soon as placed among other plants in a border). Use compost combined
with grit for growing and feed well throughout blooming.
