Then, plant bulbs for spring in front and between
them and put summer flowering ones into these tubs and move them around or
group them to get the effect you want.

Also bulbs will be a sorry sight for about 6 weeks after flowering so
you might want to think about disguising them somehow, you HAVE to let
them fade in their own time to give goodness to the bulbs.

Quite right, Janet. And that's the good thing about tubs. It means an
initial investment but when flowers have died off and you have to leave the
foliage on them to feed the bulbs for next year, you can move the whole
thing out of sight, replacing it with "here's one I made earlier"! ;-)
