It's the best solution Matt. I'm doing the same as I have a lot of new areas to plant so everything will be a bit immature. A big pot of spring bulbs is cheery on a dull day but a lot of smaller ones popped into the borders gives a lovely effect too.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I have lots of small pots that I save from work and bought plants. I have those mixed bags of Daffs from Wilkinsons, some are quite big but most are medium size.
What size pots should I plant in and how many per pot?
Managed to get the rest of my Daffs potted up. Found a couple of 2L pots and that big 4L terracotta one my Cordyline came in. The rest are all 1L with 2 bulbs in each :P
I'll let the forecast rain give them a good water now!
Just the tulips left to plant now and a free bag of Sparaxis I had with my Allium order

Hello, Brumbull, haven't heard from you for ages. What have you been doing?
Managed to plant my tete a tetes and primroses in my giant box planter and cut down and dig out the sunflowers/zinnias/cosmos and cineraria.
Ive brought all the flowers that were left inside in some vases
But its just starte pouring with rain, I hope it doesnt last too long
Got all my Alliums in
But I think I bought too many Daffs for my small garden
So I think I'll just put them in pots and add them to gaps in the spring as Verdun suggested
I'll do my Tulips in the last week of October/ 1st week of November

Yea your probably right, they were only cheap, but now I can see the benefit of buying particular varieties.
The bulbs vary in size, mainly between 10-20cm each. I dont have many big pots to use, most are 1litre or less.

Yea They are very pretty Sparaxis. I'll wait until I take out my Bellini Dahlia from the Wooden Barrel. I can plant them in there then.
