• Growing bulbs in containers outdoors for spring bloom is a little different than growing them in the ground. Even the largest of containers are tiny and cramped compared to a garden bed. As you are taking the place of Mother Nature, care is required. As bulbs are essentially storage mechanisms, they already contain everything needed to produce flowers, and thus any well draining soil can be used. Bulbs in pots are typically planted much closer together, as close as possible without touching. One can also layer and/or mix in smaller bulbs if you want. Keep the pot cold - below 48F required - but above freezing at all times, as cold is essential for the proper development of these bulbs. Finding the right spot all depends on where you live (possibly your garage), but burying them in the ground is always an option. A good way to monitor temperatures is with a maximum-minimum thermometer. Protect from mice and dramatic temperature fluctuations. Drench pots after planting, but after that keep them moist but not soggy. Once the roots have developed, and the leaves are a couple inches tall move the pot gradually into the light and sun, and then water regularly. Once the buds start to open, move the pot wherever you want to enjoy them.
