[substeps] If you choose an 8-12 inch garden container, determine how deep to plant the bulbs. You can plant them anywhere where a layer of light or shade will be enough. [substeps] Add soil right in the middle of the container. This creates a nice slope where they grow, and it lifts the roots so they can begin to grow. Look for numerous drainage holes in the bottom to keep the water moist but not overly damp. [substeps] Placing a few inches of small stones in the base of your planter will keep it from tipping over and aid in drainage. [title] Dig a hole that's 2 times the depth of the pot, and add water. [step] The deeper the hole, the larger the bulb will need to grow by about 6 inches (15 cm).
