40% off.

Whoops, I already have way too much still to plant.

And now I await a load of Russian snowdrop, 3 scilla peruviana and a bunch of alium spareocephalon. Having accidentally bought a dozen alium caeruleum in Waitrose.

Prior to seeing this thread I also ordered from FG. I've not bought from them before, so am hoping that I'm satisfied!

I've also bought scilla, some peonies, some ranunculus and I forget what else.

I think it’s that time of year when you go a bit crazy on bulbs.

Just bought more tulips, crocuses, Scilla and Russian snowdrops in the FG sale…bargain at 40% off. Then went into back room & fell over the box of JParkers wholesale bulbs - also bargain - which haven’t managed to plant yet.

Haha, I really need to get out there tomorrow. I have a dozen allium caeruleum, 3 alium caesium, 3 globemasters and 6 crown imperials that have been waiting too long!

Trouble is I'm trying to weed, trim and mulch each bed as I go. Including sieving the compost for mulching, so it's a bit of a performance.

They usually go to 50% off by black friday. Although a lot of stuff is sold out already.

Geneticsbunny · 20/11/2021 15:07

Damn. I have now spent £60 on bulbs and am going to need to but one of those bulb drill things to be able to plant them all!

FutureHope · 22/11/2021 20:51

They’re now at 50% but quite a bit sold out as babada said.

JParkers on the other hand still have quite a bit….

Hmm, I'm getting daily emails from FG with this offer orthat offer but I don't want to buy anymore until I see my previous order. Its been with Hermes since Thurs am...

Has anyone actually received any recent orders?

cupoftea2022 · 28/11/2021 05:42

Have you received your order yet and was it any good? Am in same position having waited ages for delivery - it will be 2 weeks today since ordered. Thanks.

TheSpottedZebra · 28/11/2021 13:45

I did, I got it maybe 2 days after my moan!

It all looks good, the peonies have lovely growing eyes on them, and the bulbs and corms seem OK.
Of course it's been SO COLD this weekend that I've not actually planted them yet!

HDready · 28/11/2021 13:48

I had bulbs from them earlier in the year and the dahlias were gorgeous. I’ve ordered daffodils and tulips this time round so hoping they will be as impressive!

Jparkers are rubbish in my experience.. stick with Peter Nyssen
