If you can, try and cover your pots with chicken wire. Although this won’t affect the growth of your blooms, it will remove any chance of squirrels digging into the pot and digging up your bulbs. However, that’s not the only way to protect bulbs in pots from squirrels.
You could also sprinkle the likes of cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and coffee grounds into the pots to keep squirrels at bay, as these animals hate the strong scent.
It’s also a good idea to try and plant your bulbs as deep as possible. Most squirrels can only dig around 2 inches into the ground, meaning anything planted deeper than that should be safe.
