Growing Daffodil in tubs

Hi I planted some Daffodils in early spring in some plastic tubs(I forgot to put pebbles in the bottom so had to make slits in the bottom/side.


They have came up well and I would say they are about 3" tall now and quite thick green coloured.


Could I take these out of the containers now to place into nice planters and closer together as again put them quite far apart being new at having a garden :)


We are using containers/planters as the garden is all paving and decking.


thanks

    Make sure there are holes in the base of your new pots / tubs / planters

    Pebbles in the bottom are insufficient, you need excess water to drain out and not make the thing waterlogged

    Yes fairway is right about drainage holes if they arent any despite using pebbles the pots can get waterlogged. I always plant bulbs in pots I tend to get dwarf varieties and then sink pots in ground or plant them in toughs I made with decking boards .That way when they finished I take pots out and plant annuals or dahlia's later in the year
