This hack can be done with any spring flowering bulb. . 🌷 Spring flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall. They need cool soil to help them take root before the onset of winter. . 🤔 You maybe asking why I don’t plant them directly within my front porch containers? Here in Michigan, the temperatures get too cold. My front porch pots don’t provide enough insulation to keep the bulbs from freezing, killing the bulbs. I have tried and it’s failed for me. . 😰 I have also tried putting the planted containers in the garage and that failed as well. Being buried with enough soil around them to keep them insulated with sun and rain, seems to be the perfect combination for successful spring bulb growth. .
