ADD COLOUR IN POTS

Some plants such as spring bulbs and flowering annuals add lots of colour to the garden for short periods, but then what? Growing them in containers is a great idea as they can be displayed when in flower then moved out of sight. Place potted bulbs and annuals (matching containers look good) on the deck, on steps, in bare areas of the garden – anywhere there’s space. Once they become dormant or die down, move out of sight or simply replace the plants (and refresh potting mix). Try your local garden centre or bulbsdirect.co.nz.
