Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in autumn, ideally between late September and early November, before the first hard frost.

For Pots (Layered Lasagne Planting)

1. Choose a deep container – at least 30–35cm deep, with good drainage holes.
2. Add a layer of crocks or gravel to the bottom for drainage, then fill with multipurpose compost up to about 10 cm from the rim.
3. Bottom layer (deepest):
   • Tulipa Akebono (largest bulb)
   • Plant 20–25cm deep.
4. Middle layer:
   • Anemone coronaria Mount Everest and Narcissus Pipit
   • Soak anemone corms overnight, then plant both 10–15cm deep.
5. Top layer:
   • Muscari aucheri Blue Magic and Crocus Ruby Giant
   • Plant 5–10cm deep.
6. Position bulbs so they are not directly on top of each other, spacing evenly.
7. Fill with compost to just below the rim.
8. Water well after planting and keep the pot in a sheltered spot.
9. Protect from hard frost if needed (e.g. fleece or move to an unheated greenhouse).

For Borders (Layered Lasagne Planting)

1. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil.
2. Loosen the soil and dig a planting area about 30cm deep.
3. Layer bulbs as above:
   • Tulips deepest, then narcissus and anemones, and finally muscari and crocus.
4. Cover each layer with soil before adding the next.
5. Water in well.

Tips:

• Label your pots if planting multiple collections.
• Use bulb fibre or enriched compost for best results.
• After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before removing.

This lasagne method gives a long, beautiful display in both pots and garden beds.
