Beautiful, I can grow these in a pot!

Today when I was at the grocery store for steak and sex day, I found some dahlia and lily bulbs... I thought, 'hey, I wonder if I can grow those in containers?' This year I will be a container gardener, extrodanaire... They were $3.99 for two bulbs, so I figured if I couldn't, I'm sure I could find someone to give them too.

After some quick research I found that, yes, I can do these in containers... Which is really exciting to say the least... What to do to grow dahlia and lily's in pots?

~ make sure your pot/container is deep enough for the bulbs if they are bottom growers... also think about how high lily's and dahlia's grow if you want balance

~ keep those containers inside, frost will send them running!

~ nip the tubers to have them grow bushy

~ sun, sun, sun, these babies need to be in a sunny spot by 10am!
~ keep the soil happy and rich, not too much water is required

I have another experiment for my urban garden oasis... Lily's and Dahlia's. Check back often for more information...

Pictured are the bulbs I picked up:
