Container Bulb Lasagna | 3 years of experiments

* Apologies for the quality of the voice over - I was recovering from a sore throat but wanted to upload the video before the bulb planting season was over! *
In this video I will show you my experience over 3 years with growing different bulbs like Tulips, Alliums, Hyacinths and Muscari in lasagna technique in containers on my balcony.
I will show the method, the recommended bulbs for containers and the results over the years. I will show the results of overwintering bulbs in containers.

Thank you so much for showing the resultsÖ!!! There are so many videos with 'how to do bulb lasagna' but almost nobody shows their pots blooming in the spring! Your video helped me very much to imagine how the pots will look in the spring on my balcony. I was not sure if I keep my bulbs in the pots for the next year but probably I will plant them outside after they finish and use the pots for other plants in the summer. That will give me a chance to choos other colours for bulb lasagne for the next year and at the same time give some colour to the lawn behind our house 🙂

Lovely content! Appreciate the efforts in recording all this and presenting it so beautifully! ❤ I tried planting a bulb lasagna too. In all honesty, in my opinion, I felt it sounded way cooler as a concept. I didn't like how short stemmed blooms (lile hyacinths, crocuses) looked on my tall planters. The ratios just did not look great. I love how bulb-blooms look in shallow circular bulb planters instead. It's also super convenient to tuck away a planter when your waiting on the foliage to die back. It was a fun experiment to try out once. I just did not find it worth the hype, time, efforts and planning involved in planting such easy flowers. I would not try a lasagna planter again. Just my opinion

[@containercutflowergarden]

Agreed! But it is worth trying out once or twice to see how these multiple layers work, something fascinating about existing and growing in layers! Thank you again for leaving these lovely comments, I really appreciate them!

So, once you plant the bulbs and water them in, you don't have to water them again until you see the green tops come up in spring? I have been watering mine once a week thinking the roots may have started to grow.

[@containercutflowergarden]

Yes, in my zone 6b/7a, we get enough occasional fall winter rain and snow that it is not necessary to water at all. I only water once and the bulbs seem to come up fine!

I been trying that for 40 years..never had one like they claimed...ever...gave up abput 10 years ago

[@containercutflowergarden]

Ah you mean the Alliums, right? Really 40 years! I have not seen them as big as they claim in real life for sure. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

I love bulb lasagna-ing. My best lasagna came up when i placed a weather proof tarp over the winter (after planting and watering them in only once). 🪻

[@containercutflowergarden]

Ah thats great the tarp worked for you! I tried a tarp for my Dahlia pots and the Dahlia tubers were all mush under the tarp!

[@Mina-12128]

@containercutflowergarden oh man that sucks! I never done dahlias before, only hyacinths and tulips.
