  • daffodils
  • daffodils
  • anemones
  • spring primroses
  • crocuses
  • lily of the valley
  • pansies
  • daisy
  • grape hyacinths

What do you need for planting an Easter bowl?

Along with some of the above plants in whatever colors you want, you will need:

  • a bowl
  • clay granules or pebbles
  • good potting soil
  • moss
  • possibly decorative elements

Which bowl is suitable for planting?

Anyone who tends to mean things too well when watering should definitely choose a plant bowl with drainage and a saucer. Otherwise, the beautiful Easter bloomers will quickly drown. If you don't have one at hand, you can also use a bowl without a drain, but you should then water cautiously.

Plant the Easter bowl step by step

  • First, you should clean the shell well to prevent pathogens from getting inside.
  • Then fill the bowl with pebbles or clay granules as the bottom layer. This layer acts as a drainage layer and prevents waterlogging.
  • Then fill the bowl about halfway with potting or garden soil.
  • Then distribute your spring bloomers in the bowl as you wish. If necessary, loosen the root balls before planting.
  • Fill in the remaining gaps with soil, filling the tray to about an inch below the rim.
  • Now distribute the moss around your plants. This not only looks beautiful, but also protects the soil from drying out and prevents weed growth.
  • Place decorative elements such as small Easter bunnies, butterflies, deer or other (clay) figures as desired. Stones you have painted yourself, e.g. in the form of ladybugs or Easter eggs, also look pretty.
  • Finally, pour some water into your Easter bowl and place it in a bright place.

Tips: Bulbous plants such as daffodils, anemones or daffodils are perennial. Don't throw away the bulbs after they've finished flowering, but keep them in a dry, cool place and plant them in your garden in the fall.
