Bulb Lasagne Grow Kit — Months of Spring Colour From One Container | The Bloom Boom

Bulb Lasagne Pot — Chionodoxa, Narcissus 'Jetfire' & Tulip 'Lady van eijk' 

Dispatches from September

One pot. Three waves of colour. Months of spring, not weeks.

The "lasagne pot" is a proper old-school growers' trick — layering different bulbs at different depths in the same container, so they flower one after the other from earliest spring right through into May. You plant it once in autumn, forget about it all winter, and it puts on a show for months. Why not plant it up for a Mother's Day gift in the spring?

Your kit has 67 bulbs across three carefully chosen layers:

• 12 Tulip 'Lady van eijk' — tall, glowing dark pink Darwin hybrid tulips. Flowers last, mid to late spring, and the best type for coming back year after year. Not deer or rodent resistant.
• 15 Narcissus 'Jetfire' — cute, bright yellow and orange dwarf daffodils, swept-back petals. Flowers second, into mid-spring. Deer and rodent resistant.
• 40 Chionodoxa (Glory of the Snow) — a low carpet of purple, pink and white starry flowers. Flowers first, from earliest spring.  Deer and rodent resistant.

We've chosen these three because their bloom times overlap beautifully — as one bulb starts to fade, the next takes over. And because they suit growing in Scotland: the tulips are Darwin hybrids (the tulip variety that is great for growing back the following year), the chionodoxa will naturalise happily, and everything wants the cold winter our climate reliably delivers.

The kit comes with a planting-layer diagram so you know exactly what goes where and how deep — no guesswork, no gatekeeping. All you supply is a deep pot (30cm or bigger, with drainage holes), some peat-free compost and a handful of grit.

What's in your kit

• 40 Chionodoxa bulbs (Glory of the Snow) — a low carpet of purple, pink and white stars, first to flower
• 15 Narcissus 'Jetfire' bulbs — bright, swept-back dwarf daffodils in yellow and orange, flowering next
• 12 Tulip 'Lady van eijk' bulbs — tall, glowing dark-pink tulips for the grand finale (a Darwin hybrid, so the best kind for coming back)
• Comfrey pellets and seaweed meal — a gentle, potassium-rich feed that helps the bulbs build up strength for next year
• A planting-layer diagram — shows you what goes where, and how deep to plant the flower bulbs in your kit
• A plain English grow guide

Two things we deliberately don't include: a planter and compost. Up-cycle a container you already own — but for a lasagne pot you need real depth (at least 30cm/12in, and just as wide) so all three layers have room to grow, so think a big tub, deep bucket or half-barrel rather than a shallow pot. Grab a bag of peat-free compost and a handful of grit locally. It keeps the kit lighter, cheaper and kinder to the planet. Whatever you use, make sure it's got drainage holes in the bottom — bulbs left sitting in cold, wet compost over winter is the one thing that'll finish them off.

FAQs

Do I need a garden to grow this?
No — just a deep container (30cm+) with drainage holes and somewhere sheltered outside to put it: a balcony, doorstep, back yard, patio, even a sunny front step. The bulbs need to feel the cold winter to help them flower, so don't grow them indoors.

Will it really flower for months?
Yes — because we've chosen three bulbs with overlapping flowering times, you get a rolling display from earliest spring through to May, roughly. Not all at once — one after the other. In Scotland everything shifts about 2–3 weeks later than in southern England.

Will the bulbs come back next year?
The daffodils and chionodoxa will keep going for years, and often spread. Darwin hybrid tulips like 'Lady van eijk' are the best type for coming back the following year — with the kit's feed and good aftercare (deadheading, letting the leaves die back), you should get reliable second and third years too.

When do I need to plant it by?
Ideally in October or November — bulbs need cold winter soil to root and flower properly. In Scotland, later is genuinely fine (right up to early December if the ground isn't frozen). Don't plant in spring — it's too late.

Do you ship to Northern Ireland?
Sadly not — Royal Mail no longer accepts seeds or planting material from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. Mainland GB only.

How does buying this help others?
Every kit funds living wage jobs and horticultural training in Ayrshire, Scotland, for people overcoming homelessness. You get a beautiful pot of spring flowers; someone else gets a fair job and skills training.
