Planting bulbs Bulbs are simple to plant. Bulbs can also be planted in pots in ordinary potting mix in any sort of container, pot or trough. Fertilise once the bulbs have finished flowering. When the flowers have finished take this container out, put it out of the way to allow the foliage to die down, and replace it with a container of seasonal colour so you can have a year-round, beautiful display. Availability Spring flowering bulbs are available at most nurseries, chain-stores or supermarkets from late summer to autumn.
Many nurseries also have bulk bulbs for sale.
