I have about 150 pots on the go in my garden, with at least 30 different types of plants, from Alpines to Shrubs to Perrenials and Bedding. Once my Tulips with all their colour are finished for the season, I have a bit of a '50 Shades of Green' gap before any real colour comes. Could anyone recommend plants for this time of year preferably bulbs with height and bright vivid shades.

I have Alliums which are starting to show and I have Dutch Iris which aren't ready yet. I shall look up Asiatic Hybrid Lillies, thank you!

Tulipa linifolia makes a good, bright clump. Mine are just starting to go over.

Tulipa Linifolia, I looked those up and they bloom in April which would be lovely, especially if they last well. Thank you Bulbaholic!

I know you asked for bulbs but a packet of myosotis (forget me nots) will provide lots of filling to get you through to the summer flowering plants.

Scotsgran, I found a clump of Forget Me Nots in my front lawn, (well, grass, it's not posh enough to call a lawn) another present from the birds. Dug them up and have transferred to a big pot, they're hanging in beautifully so I will definitely be trying some seeds of those for next year as they did come nice and early when colour is vital.
