Keep a window box blooming with a succesion of flowers
If you have only one window box continuous planting is an effective way of making an impact with spring bulbs. They often look most dramatic when a single variety is planted densely in the window box to create a block of colour. This is a method of planting where you plant up separate planters with plants to be moved into the window box when a set of flowers start to fade. Plant in autumn, choosing your plants carefully, so that as one set of flowers starts to fade, the next will be ready to bloom. And consider the effect of colour: do you want a continuous theme or to increase the intensity of the display into spring before softening the palette as summer approaches? The starting point for a display could be a crocus with larger than normal blooms: Crocus vernus 'BIue'. For a complete contrast, follow this up with the earliest trumpet daffodil to flower, Narcissus 'Rijnveld's Early Sensation'. This short daffodil grows to only

because they get frost from all directions - top, bottom and sideways.
The best compost for bulbs is John Innes No.1. with an added handful each of multipurpose compost and grit. Plant bulbs no more than 2,5 cm apart or even touching; any gaps will look unsightly in a window box display. Plant the daffodils at the same time as the crocus in another planter, or in several if that is more convenient. It doesn't matter if these planters look a little shabby, because the flowers will be moved into your window box later. You can plant the tulip bulbs as late as November, again in spare planters.
Put all the planters in a sheltered place to grow, ready to be brought forward one at a time. Deadhead after flowering, then lift the plants to make room for the next ones. The old bulbs can be moved into your borders, or into other planters to die off and be stored until next year.
