Why We Love It

Lasagne planting is a clever technique where bulbs are layered in pots, ensuring continuous waves of flowers from late winter through spring. This mix of rich purples and violets brings sophistication and depth to displays, making it perfect for front doors, patios, or balcony containers.

With tulips, hyacinths, and iris in one bag, it’s a ready-made recipe for effortless impact. Just plant, water, and wait for the layers of colour to appear.

 

How to Plant & Grow

• Plant from September to December before the ground freezes.
• Use a deep pot or border space to allow for layered planting.
• Plant the largest bulbs (tulips) first at 15cm, then add hyacinths and iris above, finishing with smaller bulbs near the surface.
• Water well after planting and place in a sunny or partially shaded spot.
• Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed bulbs for next year.
