Offer stately lilylike amaryllis the companionship of a compatibly colored low-grower, such as these sweet primroses. Stop top-heavy stems from drooping with the support of a ribbon bow or stakes.

Keep an eye out for unusual ways to show off your prowess with bulbs. This mix of pots set inside a glass terrarium, for example, mimics the indoor greenhouses that were the rage in the Victorian era.
Gather together all you need—bulbs, pots, soil or other potting material—before you get started.
