You may have limited space, have no garden at all, or simply prefer pot culture to make plants easier to care for. As long as you have a little space for a medium sized container on your porch, deck, patio and/or balcony, you can garden. Our transitional-styled, decorative, round metal planter (approximately 12 in. W x 10 in. tall), comes with a hard-shell inner plastic growing pot with drainage, bag(s) of medium, several packages of planting stock, gardening gloves and growing directions. Everything you need to get started is included. Using the in. lasagna method in. of planting, which essentially is the technique of planting in layers, will assure an impressive display. Planting in layers provides space for more bulbs in a pot, and extends the display's blooming time which makes the most of the limited available space. This gets you the most bang for your buck and as much successive spring color as possible. To give this patio container garden an extended bloom period not all varieties are intended to bloom simultaneously.
