Another gardening question here. Gosh, I really should join Verdant Forums ( but I like it here too much!).
Anyways...I was thinking it would be fun to have some crocus popping up in early spring. So I went to the garden centre and was going to buy some bulbs, but the guy there said that they won't survive in a container. I'm in an apartment and my "garden" is in pots on the balcony.
I have a couple of large containers with Asian lillies, and I thought the crocus would go nicely there, as they'll have room to expand and will die off by the time the lillies start to wake up.
Anyone have any advice to share? The guy was a little strange and waffley and I didn't have a lot of confidence in him.
