A splash of colour really does hit the spot in winter, the idea of a few flowers on the patio is very appealing.
I was wondering about some little narcissus for indoors over winter? I've just got a lovely indoor planter for those hyacinths I have yet to get... Addictive, isn't it?!
J Parker seeds people are giving away Tete aTete with all orders at the moment - they have lots of low priced spring bulbs on sale (online) I'm going to pot up some this weekend. Have fun!
I got a tip on another thread. If you have a local LIDL store they are selling bulbs at present very good price. I bought named tulips 12 in a pack ..4 packs for £5. Named hyacinths 7 in a pack same price, other bulbs available. Bulbs seemed good quality. Too tempting I'm trying not to get over enthusiastic!
The Lidl tulips are always superb - just 5 bulbs in a clay pot gave this magnificent display last year. I think I paid £2.25 for 10 bulbs - so two pots like this for that price!
I'm off for a foray to Lidl this evening as it happens. I'll have a look and see what they have. Thank you for the tip I got myself a lovley little bay tree from there a few weeks ago. It's a bit crooked, and it was looking mighty sorry for itself, but it's perked up no end now it's been fed and re-potted. It was only a tenner.
