HOW TO CREATE A SPRING CENTREPIECE: STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
Pick your pot – pastel yellows, pinks and blues are perfectly spring-themed colours, or choose a more neutral tone to really make your chosen flowers pop
Scatter gravel at the bottom of your pot to help with drainage
Arrange your choice of potted spring bulbs on top, placing the taller flowers at the back
Fill the remaining gaps with compost and gently firm down the soil to make sure everything is sitting comfortably
Add additional plants on the topsoil, such as moss, as a finishing touch to really bring your centrepiece to life
Water your bulbs when the soil starts to feel dry
Our gardening expert's top tip:
Water your flowers the day before making your display to help them adjust when transferred into the pot
