Arranging bulbs in an outdoor plant box can transform your garden into a colorful paradise. The key is to plan for seasonal blooms and ensure proper spacing. Start by selecting a mix of early, mid, and late-season bulbs like tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths for continuous color.
For depth and visual appeal, use the "lasagna planting" method: place larger bulbs (e.g., tulips) at the bottom, medium-sized bulbs (e.g., daffodils) in the middle, and smaller bulbs (e.g., crocuses) near the top. This layering technique maximizes space and creates staggered blooming.
Ensure good drainage by adding gravel at the base and using well-draining soil. Plant bulbs pointed-side up, spaced 2-3 times their width apart. Water lightly after planting and mulch to retain moisture. With thoughtful arrangement, your plant box will thrive year-round!
