Just a bit of Moss can make all the difference

Replant, recycle or upcycle your bulbs to give them some style!

When I was buying my Christmas Tree, as an impulse buy, I purchased five Hyacinths. Remember odd numbers of things usually look better when grouped together.  They were just starting to bloom  and were bursting out of their  nasty little plastic pots. I replanted them   in bulb compost in a small wooden  crate that  had previously held Satsuma’s.  They looked better than before but the crowning glory was picking some moss and putting it round the bulbs so it looks like a soft, warm green blanket. The bulbs have grown over Christmas and smell exquisite. The colour is a rich intense cobalt.
