Spring Bulb Displays at Whichford Pottery

At Whichford, we have always enjoyed plantings bulbs in our pots, from tiny miniature iris to flamboyant tulips in dazzling colours. 

A major advantage of growing bullbs in pots is the ability it gives you to move them around — bringing them to a prominent position as they peak and moving them away when they start to go brown and flop. The flowering seasons of narcissi and tulips can be maximised by keeping them well watered but in a sunny position until their flowers begin to open. Then, they can be moved to a more shady, cooler site. Such rearrangements also give you the chance to try out more daring colour combinations. If you find the purple next to your orange makes your teeth hurt, then you can hastily separate the offending plantings.
