Read-planted bulbs in pots.

My sister is 30 on the 12th Jan and she really wants some bulbs in her garden. Where can I get some tubs ready planted with different bulbs but that are good quality and will last year after year??

    M&S are selling daffodils in pots for 99p.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    Thanks but I am thinking of big rectangular or circular tubs for gardens, one that will really be big.

    The trick is to buy them and replant them into the container of your choice.

    It works out cheaper than buying the big tubs.

    I'd also suggest you look at garden centres like Wvyedale and the DIY sheds.
