Can I leave bulbs in their containers so they flower next year?

- Alison, by email

MATT B SAYS Yes. Water the bulbs and feed with tomato fertiliser, reducing the amount as they die back. Keep the pot in a dry place, then start watering again next spring. Alternativ­ely, take the dormant bulbs from the pot and store in a cool, dry place, then replant next autumn.
