    They usually start to appear on the shelves of Garden centers around August time for planting out in Sept / Oct. Some supermarkets and £ shops will also stock them. They can also be obtained from many online suppliers, including the seed and plant companies.

    You may find some now at GC's being sold in pots, probably quite cheaply as they finish flowering.

    Scooby , if you need to buy a lot of Daff bulbs, the garden centres sell them loose in October, you just fill a bag full of bulbs . Best to get them planted in the Autumn by the end of November. So just sit back for 6 months :dbgrtmb:

    Hold off until later in the year and you will get them much cheaper - supermarkets knock them out at roughly £2 for 100 bulbs in late August early September
