Tulips are a convenient plant to choose for container gardening. Each bulb only produces a single stalk, which prevents the flowers from growing too big for their pots. If you have a deep enough pot, you can even layer different tulip varieties to create a visually stunning display. Simply start with the right variety or varieties of tulip and the right sort of pot. Give the bulbs adequate time to lie dormant and keep them in a sunny location during the warm weather months.
