Planting layered spring bulbs, also known as lasagna planting or double decker pots, is a great way to get a fabulous spring display or a staggered display that lasts several months and keeps delivering colour to your patio.
You can do this with any spring flowering bulbs and really get creative with the combinations you choose. We selected some traditional favourites for our own display, with Triumph Tulips, Dwarf Narcissi Tete-a-Tete, Bedding Hyacinth Mixed and finally large flowering crocus mixed.
Getting a long lasting pot display really couldn’t be easier, and we’ve put together this complete video tutorial from our expert Jeff Turner to show you exactly how to get the best from your spring patio displays.
You can get your own J. Parker's spring flowering bulbs to recreate the display here: bit.ly/2SbLxVI

My little girls clapped when this video ended with the display of flowers. They are very excited to plant bulbs for the first time " That was perfect!" said the 8 year old. They are pretty amazed you can plant flowers when it's cold.
This was the most informative and easy to follow tutorial I've ever seen, thank you for this!
I've lived 60 years in the tropics, and moving to a colder climate, the plants are a mystery. Trying to learn about different bulbs. On this particular topic with the your visual cross-section as well as pictures of the it in bloom, easy-peasy to understand. Thank you!
Best planted bulbs video I've seen! 🌷⚘🌰
So glad I discovered this video!!!! Its fall here in SE Wisconsin and I wanted some beautiful spring planters!
Fabulous video! Thank you for the inner side view, so helpful! Going to try this right now! Cheers
I followed these instructions last fall, eagerly awaiting my spring flowers now!
How did they go?
@@DeepSeaLugia badly. Daffodils and hyacinths rot in containers over the winter in my climate (zone5b US) Tulips do really well in containers, and so do muscari and crocus. So I could probably do all of them together but I gave up on the whole thing lol
It looks georgious. I will try this end of this year for next spring.
Great idea for those of us with limited space. I’m going to try this.
I will plant bulbs and I am so ooo excited for Spring!
Wonderful, thanks for the easy to follow video. I did my first bulbs last fall and the display is fantastic right now. I'm looking forward to trying this for next year!
Thanks for this! I've buried my narcissi deeper than my tulips. I'll dig them up and re-bury them the correct way.
Amazing! I already have the bulbs, and compost. I'm on my way to the Home Depot to buy a large planter to complete the process, in the exact manner as described by you sir. Thank you for the video!!
I love this video, you inspired me to do this, I couldn't find the money for a large pot, so I did my lasagna right in the ground, it worked great!!! I posted video of my outcome, thanks for the inspiration, encouragement and knowledge!
Great job! We're so pleased you found inspiration from our video. Happy gardening :)
So beautiful
Thank you so much for your amazing video. I am a complete beginner and did lasagne planting last year in August/September after watching your video. Completely forgot about it and from February have been delighted with gorgeous blossom. A nice surprise every few weeks, even now in May. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! That's so great to hear, and we're so glad you like our video. Happy gardening :)
I was looking for this all my life. Thank you for your wonderful video.
I did this. I made the pots in late October here in SE Pennsylvania. The two pots I planted came up beautifully. Hardly any maintenance. I’m hoping for the same results next year. Thank you for your instructions sir.
This is first time I know about this, thank you
Wow! I love it. Thank you.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
Fabulous idea, love all your videos, Jeff makes gardening so easy to do! Can't wait to try this.
We're glad you're enjoying our videos!

I’ve just prepared my lasagne, a bit late but better late than never😂😂
Love your videos!
Thank you! We're happy to hear you're enjoying our content.
Awesome ⚘🌼
Im in too cold a climate to do this. But I can do it with other plants for sure!
Thank you!!
You are terrific! Perfect demonstration and love seeing the results at the end. Can I plant directly into the ground in the spring or do I have to wait for the fall?
Brilliant accent refreshing lancashire UK yeah!! Brill great explanation got my bulbs cheap loads in the sale at Wilcos cant wait to plant at 15 p 25p a bag ...cant be bad eh!!
Great stuff mate.. sound like Jim Bowen ..."coulda won a speedboat" 😂
If u use a combo of early mid and late...even better...im gonna make one for friends and family for christmas.
Great idea!
Proper lad this.
Such a lovely video. I'm going to try this in the lawn, will let you know how its turned out in 6 months. Thank you
I was thinking the same thing!!
Best of luck! Please do let us know :)
@indiahrose How did it end up? I really want to plant them in the ground too. Also, what zone are you?
Could you use this method with the addition of ranunculus? If so which layer? Thank you in advance great video xx
Great video. Got me to do my first lasagnas this past fall. I planted pansies and decorative cabbage on top. Should I pull them out now that the shoots are starting to appear? I’m not sure the crocuses will grow taller. Thanks again
Lovely result! 😊 I had a big ceramic pot I was going to do a lasagna in but unfortunately most of the bulbs I bought the year prior had rotted. Got lots of new tupips in there just peeping through though!
One question though, how would I get the tete-a-tete and tulips to flower at the same time? All my daffodils are up and in bloom en-mass but the tulips are still very young?
Great!! Thanks for the video, will definitely try this for next Spring. I'm all about the pots! Is that an acer in a pot in the background? I have a small one in the ground but considering how big it gets I'm thinking of putting it in a pot.
😮 wow! Thank you for this video! I never knew you could do this! I do have a question though, do you dig the bulbs up after the season is over or do you keep the pot indoors all winter?
Thanks for your comment Shandel :) these bulbs would need to be lifted and stored until next season. Happy gardening!
I'm excited to try this in the fall :) just wondering am I able to do lasagna planting with lilies daffodils and tulips? If so what layer would the lilies be?
Hello, Northern Ontario Zone 4 question. I dig up my container hostas and put them in my vegetable garden over the winter or they won't make it. Would it make sense to assemble the pot as you demonstrate and then actually bury the whole pot in my vegetable garden? It would take some work to clean them off in the spring but gosh it would be worth it. And it would be such a wonderful present to have all set for my friends in spring as well. Please advise and thanks for cheering me up w your lovely video on a sad-ish covid-y day!
Hi love the result! Could you tell me if these will return and flower the following year? Thanks
Yes, most bulbs do
Beautiful; what a great idea. Will try next year. After they bloom, do you keep watering them or put the pot in a dark place? Sorry, not a gardener but I thought I read somewhere about doing something with the bulbs after they bloom. Thank you.
Hi Carrieann, With lasagne planting it is simply the case of keeping your container well watered and making sure you deadhead flowers as they start to fade to keep your display fresh and lovely. Once your planter is done blooming, place the planter in a descreet area to allow the stems and leaves to die back. Make sure to leave the stems and leaves until they are completely brown and can be pulled off the bulb easily. This process is necessary for the bulb to store up energy for the next year's blooms. Thanks for your question!
I have planted these and now it's April my boring patio is blooming! However, what do I do when they are gone and its summer? Do I leave the bulbs in ready for next year?
Great video ! Can you leave the bulbs for a few years in the pot ?
So how do I store such pot during winter months in the UK? Shall I cover it to protect from the rain, occasional snow or rodents? Would it be too warm for the bulbs if I keep the pot in an attached garage? All fall-planted bulbs need chill period below 8C, hence the question. What’s your experience? Thanks
Hello! What size pot would you recommend? Thank you
could you plant mums on top for fall
Can I plant them in fall and where do I keep the pot over winter? Will the bulbs not freeze if outside? If inside then it’s too warm. I have a shed or garage. Do I need to water every once in a while? Or should I just plant them in February-March and leave the pot outside then? Thanks
Love it. I am confuse when to remove pansies?
Pansies are fairly long lasting & in a sunny spot should last for months and sometimes, even years. Trick is to deadhead the flowers regularly and when the plants get a bit leggy, just prune them back to above a leaf node and this should encourage it to bush out in just the same way any other plant would. Giving them a feed in Spring & about every 6wks until about September helps. Eventually though, they do just start to look had it so it's off to the compost heap. Ultimately it's personal preference as to when you want to change your display. There's no hard and fast rule.
If you put (for example winter pansies) on the top of pot will the flowers from the spring bulbs still shoot through? I'm a complete amateur so apologies if this is a daft question
I'm thinking this is bigger than a 14 inch pot - how would you keep this outside in Wisconsin Zone 5B during the winter... or is this something I should take inside my detached garage - still trying the best way to force or grow spring blooming bulbs in the spring here
What time of the year do I make this pot? I’m in zone 6.
Great information. I live in zone 6 and have freezing winters. Do I leave the planter outside or put in the garage?
Hi Karyn, The chosen container should ideally be frost resistant given that it will be outside over the winter months. To aid with protection from frost use crocks inside the pots to help with drainage, and also use pot feet as this ensures the container isn’t sat on a cold surface and therefore helps to reduce frost damage. Thanks for watching!
Looks lovely, going to give this a go this autumn. Can you suggest anything to prevent squirrels trying to dig the bulbs up?
Bit late but chicken wire or netting stretched over the top of the planter usually does the trick until they're a bit more established
You use compost not potting soil?
How big is your pot please? Going to do this ASAP!
can these all be planted in the ground too or only a pot?
What size pot have you used?
planted 20 bulbs, 12 came up but with only the leaves, not sure what Ive done wrong
i wish i had seen this BEFORE i planted a few hundred spring bloody bulbs ,,,lol.
Hi. What’s the diameter of your pot? How many of each bulb have you used? Thanks
When is the best time to plant this bulb in a pit thanks
Anyone know what size pot was used?
I'm in Texas, zone 9. Is compost different than potting mix?
Same
This is a great tutorial thanks. But after this container has finished flowering and the leaves have died back will it all come back next year, or do we need to lift the bulbs and replant later?
Hi Edwina. It would depend on your choice of bulb, for example if you planted tulips these would need to be lifted, dried, cleaned and stored in a cool place until planting time. I hope this helped! :)
@@JParkersBulbs thank you. I've been reading about the bulbs Ive ordered and I've redesigned my two pots between bulbs I can apparently leave in and those I need to get out 😊
I planted bulb lasagne this year and failed miserably. I ended up moving my fabric pot to outside in january when the bulb started sprouting. I wanted to stop the sprout, but I think I ended up getting the bulbs frost damage. do u recommend keeping bulb pots ( fabric pot) inside an unheated garage? we are in zone 6
This is also my question! We are in Zone 5, and I’ve read that pots should be kept 35-45 degrees. I considered leaving them in my garage with a little bit of insulation around them but fear they may freeze and or crack!
Hi when should I start planting these bulbs, is it too late this year?
Hi Dianne, spring-flowering bulbs are best planted from September-December for spring blooms. I recommend waiting until the autumn to plant this beautiful display idea. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this. I dont like Hyacinths (perfume makes me wheeze) can you put alliums instead ?
You can certainly mix and match! I would recommend exchanging the Hyacinths for muscari, crocus or dwarf iris :) Thanks for watching!
Are you supposed to trim them when they start growing, or leave them?
Hi, you can start deadheading the spent flowers as your bulb blooms wither away. This will help keep your bulb garden looking fresh and cheerful throughout the blooming season. Thanks for your question!
How do you care for it after it’s done blooming? Once the leaves are dry, do you just leave the bulbs in the pot and store it like that until next year? Or you have to take them out and put fresh compost?
I have this same question! 🧐
I also have that same question. Please and thank you!
