Anywhere still selling bulbs?

I've been out of the country until this week so have not bought or planted bulbs. I put tulips and daffs in as late as Jan last year and still got a good show but I can't find any to buy online or in shops!

Anyone got any hot tips on anywhere still with stock?

Try the Farmer Gracy website. Or B&Q for the run of the mill stuff.

I've been to two garden centres in the past week and they both still had bulbs for sale, definitely the packaged ones though can't remember seeing any loose. The selection is probably reduced but so are the prices. They also had bulbs packaged for xmas gifts. In the NW.

Lots of the bulbs are half price at Wilko, daffodils , tulips etc. Be lovely in the spring.

Homebase had 5kg bag of daffs for £1 and all other bulbs 70% off
Ive just put in mine and hoping that I’ll get a good show!

I went to a Blue Diamond Garden Centre this week and they had plenty including some hyacinths for 25 p a bulb Wink

Thanks everyone. It must just be my local area that have shoved our bulbs to make room for Christmas stock. I'll have a look on Parkers now.

Don’t tempt me with bargain bulbs! I only managed to get my last lot in before the weather changed . I certainly don’t want to be planting 5kg of daffs in freezing temperatures, sits on hands, refuses to look………has a peep, no, no,no…..

My dad just did a big order with Parker’s I think and got a bag of 40 mixed narcissi free with the delivery, which he gave to me - was going to plant them in grass this week but not sure it’s worth it now it’s so cold! Will they still ‘do’?

I’ve also seen bulbs still on sale at Peter Nyssen but I think mostly finished at Sarah Raven.

The bulbs will be fine, your fingers will probably shrivel and drop off.

I have a long handled bulb planter so hoping minimal freezing as won’t need to kneel down or touch the ground much. Going to go and have a go in my lunch break now (will prob break bulb planter on icy ground 🥶)

If you’re in the North East, Strikes near Stokesley had bags of tulips and daffs

for £1.

B&M were selling theirs at half price this week.
