ideas on mixing forced bulbs in one container from Dan Benarcik at @chanticleergarden @deebenarc .
Tulipa ‘Cretaceous’ and Muscari armeniacum .
Double–teaming your containers extends the bloom time and eases volatile spring weather.
.
The Muscari blooms first with delicate foliage, followed by the tulip and it bold leaves.
.
Generally the Muscari finishes before the Tulips begin, however this season provided us a bit of overlap.
.
Other bulb combinations that could work equally well, Narcicuss and Frittilaria, or Hyacinth and Galanthus.
.
A cold period is necessary for bloom and good drainage is essential.
