To start, I select a plastic pot that will fit inside the outdoor container I want to fill next spring. For the large limestone urn (42" diameter), I use five 15" pots arranged in a circle. Some years I also plant daffodils or hyacinths in individual peat pots to place in the gaps between the pots in the circle. This adds variety to the display and fills in the spaces.

Here I used "Thalia" narcissus in between the larger pots.
