How to layer bulbs

I love growing spring-flowering bulbs in containers. Layering them is a simple way to fit more colour into one pot.
Half-fill the pot with compost and put in the first layer of bulbs. Sprinkle over more compost until you can just see the bulb tips. Put the next layer of bulbs in the gaps between those tips, then cover with compost.
Add violas around the edge for extra winter and spring interest. Water the pot well and put it on the patio.
