Best place to buy bulbs online?

[Hippopotas]

Looking for some bulbs for spots in the garden. Particularly looking for some tulips, daffs, snowdrops and bluebells if I can find any but don’t know where to look as the garden centres near me seem to be bereft of any bulbs at all!

so any online recommendations will be gratefully received.

Peter Nyssen - the tulips I bought this year are spectacularly good.

(But obvs there won't be any tulip/daffodil/spring bulbs available until late August now...)

Farmergracy.co.uk I also like.

But yes, autumn bulbs won't yet be available.
But they're free shipping on other things until midnight!

Also Peter Nyssen. Much better flowers than bulbs I bought from RHS. I've had really beautiful tulips and daffodils from them.

... or just wait until September and they'll be back in stores.

Parker’s Bulbs. But you plant snowdrops in the green just after they have flowered (so not available at the moment) and the other bulbs you mentioned are planted in the autumn and they most likely won’t be available to buy at this time of year either.
make sure you get English not Spanish bluebells.

Ooh, take a photo now and mark where you want the bulbs to be.
If you're like me, you'll identify a good spot, then totally forget where it was when it comes to planting time.

You'll still be able to easily buy snowdrop bulbs in the autumn (possibly not the fancy £££ varieties), but received wisdom is that it is better to plant 'in the green'. Mine went in as bulbs, probably Wilko, and they're just fine.

Thanks all. I’m a bit of a novice to gardening and didn’t realise most if these bulbs aren’t available until autumn.

I will order some spring planting ones and preorder some autumn ones. I want to have as much year round colour as I can get.

If you have a big space to fill this company is great clare-bulbs.co.uk/index.html

They were recommended to me by other MN users. Website works best on a pc rather than a phone.

I've just come back from a short stay at a hotel with the most fantastic tulips in the gardens, when I asked they told me they came from Sarah Raven's web site, the collections are beautiful.

Had lovely bulbs from Farmer Gracey, a dutch firm.

We've also been v pleased with farmer gracy bulbs this year - see results below!

I like J Parkers's and often look at Sarah Raven for inspiration and then order the same bulbs there for much less! Farmer Gracy is also good (but pricy, so I tend to wait for the sales - which reminds me, Crocus is another website worth checking out in the sales).

I ended up putting an order in with farmer Gracy because of @TheSpottedZebra . Finished it 10 minutes before the deadline for free shipping after a few glasses of wine. Now to figure out where on Earth to plant them

Parkers trade. Even cheaper than Parkers, and you don't need to be in the business. Check out Sarah Raven for trends, then order cheaper Parkers. I order 750 tulip bulbs every year plus loads of things like Crown Imperials, and wouldn't go anywhere else (it's my job). Farmer Gracy has beefy great lily bulbs, though.

We bought some bulbs in Lidl and they were actually really nice! I've bought stuff from Sarah Raven that hasn't come up (some has) but lily of the valley and crocuses that didn't.

Farmer Gracey for me too. Had some last year from Sarah Raven that were lovely but have had endless problems with deliveries so switched to FG. Here are a couple of this years beauties!

Farmer Gracy, Sarah Raven and Thompson and Morgan have all provided spectacular bulbs for me this year. A hint though - sign up for their mailing lists and don't buy too much too soon, they reduce and reduce them as the season goes on, I got some huge bargains in November last year!

Clare bulbs are fab.
