Pot spring bulbs such as dwarf narcissi, hyacinths, Iris reticulata and crocuses at fortnightly intervals for a staggered display in both the house and the garden. (It is amazing how cheap these bulbs are getting I saw a box of 500 dwarf daffs for about €6 the other day). Use ordinary potting compost with some coarse sand or grit mixed in.
Plant nerine bulbs and divide old mounded clumps after flowering. The best place for the heat and sun they need to flower is at the foot of a south-facing wall. Plant the bulbs with the nose just showing above the soil and give protection with a mulch if it gets really cold.
