Dahlia tubers are dear but the flowers are very popular and beautiful.

Depending where you live you may have to lift [dig up] in autumn and store overwinter

However dahlias can be grown from seed as an annual, obviously you will not get the dinner plate size of flowers, but will give a good display. They are easy to grow, but do need sowing indoors first

Pop into Wilkinson's now whilst reduced price seed is on offer.

Bit early for the 250 free bulbs loads of us got last year (postage extra)

Lidl's 5kg bag of daffodils were £1 on wednesday when I bought some.

If you have one, try a street market. My local market has a seller with crates of good quality Prinz Dutch-grown bulbs at £2 a large bag (I'm too lazy to weigh one, but they are big).

It's not inconceivable that eBay could be cheaper still, but the Post Office is killing that trade.
