New to Bulb Planting

Hi All,

I am new to gardening, especially planting things but have really got into it this year with me growing my own fruit and vegetables and even subscribing to Gardeners World!

My partner bought some Single Late Queen of the Night Tulip bulbs today and I have no experience of bulb planting, whatsoever but I do know that I am not going to see any colour with these until at least April. I plan to grow them in a patio container but I was just wondering if anyone could advise on what I could plant with it for colour or to fill the bareness throughout winter ... I'm guessing maybe just a decorative grass?

I welcome any ideas as that is the only one I have! :D

Thanks - k

 

Pansies? Polyanthus? are 2 I can think of right now!
