Are garden centres selling spring bulbs yet?

Just wondering if spring bulbs, particularly snowdrops are on sale yet in garden centres? Our local supermarket usually does that sort of thing, but no bulbs of any kind at the moment.

I saw some in the garden center a month ago.

I was in s garden centre earlier this week and they had lots of spring bulbs.

Yes, and I've seen them in Lidl too

Yes, loads in Aldi today, I dont know about snowdrops but if not in the supermarkets garden centres should have them.

IndigoSkye · 05/09/2020 13:11

Yes, round my way they are (though I didn't see snowdrops - adds them to list)

MarshaBradyo · 05/09/2020 15:20

Must plant them

Does anyone have any experience of Aldi or Lidl spring bulbs - are they worth buying? I did buy some geraniums from Lidl at the very start of lockdown, and they are still flowering a bit and have been brilliant, but I've never tried their bulbs.

Wilkos have spring bulbs including snowdrops.

Pantsinthewash · 05/09/2020 20:55

Thanks, @TheNoodlesIncident, might have a look

I've found Aldi bulbs to be as good as any.

I currently have a number crop of gladioli, although I dint ecxoectthem to do anything more than be leafy.

I meant to say from Aldi bulbs I bought during lockdown

Yes agree loads of bulbs around. Just remember to check the planting month. Tulips do better planted at the beginning of November.
It’s better to get snowdrops already growing, either get some from an established patch or buy them in January growing in a pot.
