I'm wanting to buy some bluebells in the green and am finding huge variances between the likes of www.englishplants.co.uk/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=99 , www.gee-tee.co.uk/shop/bulbs-in-the-green/bluebells/hyacinthoides-non-scripta and www.thompson-morgan.com/plants1/product/p7146/1.html. I'm sure there are many more but would rather go with a recommended supplier. I need around 500 so Thompson Morgan work out at about £160 and the others at around £83 - £100. Thanks!

The cheapest bulb supplier I know of is Peter Nyssen. You need to order in bulk to make it worthwhile with delivery etc so I normally club together with gardener friends and do a bulk order.

Have used them the last 2 years and they are very good.

Thanks Taffetacat ... they're tying in with the two cheaper suppliers. It's good to get a recommendation. Any others, please? I guess the price variance between the likes of Peter Nyssen/Gee-tee etc and Thompson-morgan is why I'm asking questions!

T and M probably don't do the bulb volume of the others. They are very cheap on plug plants and sometimes seeds. Nyssen only do bulbs so I guess because they do the volume thats reflected in the price.
