Hi, have a look at j Parker wholesale at,
www.dutchbulbs.co.uk
thompson and morgan also do bulk , but I personally wouldn't give them the time of day, Derek.

There are several sites if you google bulk bulbs but I haven't tried any of them.

Thank you. I'll have a look.

Check out 'Colorblends' they ship directly from the Netherlands.

Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs

I use GeeTee bulbs when I want larger quantities and have found them to be good.

I looked up colourblends on the Internet, but they seem to be in the USA......

I use J Parker wholesale. You can crocus and tulips in minimums packs of 25.

They would be Canalhopper or BG couldn't buy from them. GeeTee bulbs as Bulba says are extremely good and offer a variety of bulbs
https://www.gee-tee.co.uk

Andrew have to say 25 is the sort of number I'd expect to buy from a GC, when we go to Geetee it is to buy large numbers for naturalising.

I'm sorry about that Canalhopper, my mistake :O

MG - you can buy much larger quantities from Parkers. I was just pointing out that although they sell wholesale, you can buy packs as small as 25 of a variety.

Bloms bulbs are also good. I've bought tulips,daffs hyacynths etc in large numbers from Parkers too and they were really good. snowdrops and aconites not so good. if you are after these then late spring is abetter bet. in the back of gardening mags you will find adverts for these in the green.

MG, you mentioned that you would buy large numbers of bulbs for naturalising. I am not familiar with that at all. Could you explain that a bit further please?

Hi Loosestrife, a lot of gardeners plant a small number, say 25, of one particular type of bulb and do this with lots of different cultivars and species. Bulba and I tend to plant a large drift, can be 100 or more bulbs of a single species - e.g. Crocus banaticus, in a naturalistic way and simply let them get on with it. Over the years, if they are happy in their spot they will continue to spread and multiply creating a carpet effect. I don't think this would work so well with the new cultivars but with the actual species it seems to be fine. All depends on what you want your garden to look like, there is no formality in ours at all.

Yes! Every spring in a woodland area near a stream where I fish for trout there blooms hundreds upon hundreds of daffodils covering the early spring barren forest floor. A spectacular sight.
The wooded area is private property but the owner of a cottage across the road, who must be the owner of the forested property too, always sets out on a table beside the road a few buckets full of cut daffodils for those who would like to take some home. I always thought that these blooms were a natural occurrence but as you have described, it was created, how wonderful! Thank You MG:)

You're welcome Loosestrife :)

Following on from SBG's post, I can recommend Eurobulbs (eurobulbs.co.uk) for bulbs in the green.

Narcissus could not be 'natural' in your wood, Loosestrife. They are native to southern Europe and north Africa. They do not occur naturally in the Americas.
From your description it sounds as if someone, or more than just Someone, has been planting lots of bulbs there for many years. Nice.

I use Anglia Bulbs Company

Tracey Coyne is more than happy to have a chat
