Home gardeners snap up 'free' bulbs in deal that provides pretty spring blooms next year

In the UK, the best time to plant spring-flowering blooms is between September and November if you want to reap the benefits of a beautiful outdoor space next year. Home gardeners are taking advantage of an online deal, stocking up on bulb collections while they are on a three for two offer.

Shoppers who purchase two bulb collections at Crocus will get a third one as a bonus, meaning you could get up to 110 bulbs for free depending on the variety you choose. This deal could see you saving upwards of £45 on premium plant ranges.

There are lots of bulbs to pick, from daffodils to tulips, to snowdrops and allium. A wide selection of colours are available too, catering to all tastes and garden designs.

The Spring Promise Daffodil Collection is a popular pick - featuring three types of daffodil in white, yellow and orange. You can get 90 bulbs for £63.90, a saving of £31.95.

If you have a large garden and want to fill the space, consider the Naturalising Bulb Collection that will give colour from late January to May. All flowers included are suitable for brightening up partially shaded areas of the garden but will feel equally at home in full sun too. For £89.90 you can get a whopping 310 bulbs - this would typically set you back £134.85.

This Award-Winning Snowdrop Collection announces the arrival of spring. Priced at £57.90 for 105, you are saving £28.95 by shopping the deal.

You can browse the entire three for two bulb selection at Crocus here. Alternatively, Amazon stock a mixed variety of spring daffodil bulbs for £26.99 with approximately 100 large bulbs. Customers are pleased with the results from growing them, saying their spring display came up 'beautifully' with no rotten bulbs.

Gardening Express also sells a selection of bulbs here.
