    For a pot sticking with the same type of tulip is best if you want a mix of colours . They don't all flower at the same time

    Indeed @GardenerSuze. They can still need a bit more care in pots because they need moisture at the right time, and this year's March freeze affected mine, even though they're reliable botanical ones. I'd just brought them out from being undercover to keep them from getting waterlogged. Such is life with plants  ;)

    The advantage of single colour pots -of anything, is the fact that you can switch them around, and group them together according to time of year. I do it all the time. There was nothing here when I moved in, so pots of spring bulbs, and a few plants I brought with me etc, were a great benefit.  :)

    @Fairygirl I have over a hundred T Ballerina in flower at the moment. These are the only ones I grow. I just have one area where they are happy, growing amoungst Helieanthus Lemon Queen which is just showing it's green shoots.

    I had Ballerina in another garden if I remember. V. nice.  I'd struggle to find suitable room for more though, but I'm always tempted.  ;)
