Re:Quality Spring Bulbs in Ireland?.

JohnOwonga

Hello,
Where do you guys buy your Spring Bulbs From specifically Daffodil,Narcissi,
Crocus,Snowdrops,Hyacinths and Tulips from the criteria being that they are Value For Money,Quality,Produce many blooms per bulb and early flowering aswell as flower right throughout Spring time? Weather Resistant Too?

Is it possible to grow some varieties from seed ? cuttings or do you just wait for a cluster of them to grow and pull the Bulbs apart at the end of the growing season?.

Is it too late now as I seen Thompson and Morgan have stock but at a much higher price now some varieties Out Of Stock?

Unwins are completely out of stock this surprises me as there is a major recession currently do Unwins represent super value for Money?.

I got a mailer from this crowd yesterday they seem fairly reasonable

I ordered some privet hedging €85 for 50 which was a good bit cheaper than my local garden centre. Some good advice on the site too I'm pretty much a novice at this gardening lark!

Thanks for your reply I came across Bakker several years ago I am quite impressed with their 5 year Gaurantee they seem to have improved they have a vast range of Bulbs since bulbs are Perennials that increase every year if you naturalise them.
