Garden bulbs are the perfect way to add dramatic colour to the garden, plant up pots and containers or fill whole borders with clumps of these exquisite flowers.
Garden bulbs are individual packs of beauty. Each one contains everything needed for a fabulous flower display; you simply need to provide the best growing conditions to entice the flowers to emerge from the bulb.
Remember, most garden bulbs should be planted as soon as they are bought. If you are unable to plant them straight away then remove them from any plastic packaging and store in a cool, dry and dark place. They are also only available at certain times of the year. You will find spring flowering bulbs such as daffodils and tulips in garden centres from August to November and summer flowering bulbs such as lilies and dahlias from January to April.
