[quote=beccabunga;868747]T&M were at one time one of the best seed merchants. Sadly they have fallen off badly in the past decade and have expanded into plug plants and such. I stopped buying their seed some time back when either I had poor generation or what came up was not what was expected.

I would not myself buy bulbs or corms from them, however good the "offer"
but go to the specialist bulb growers for these. In any case with snakeshead fritillaries it is far better to wait till the spring, buy your plants in flower and then plant them "in the green". They usually set seed fairly freely. I have had good bargains from garden centres selling off potted flowering bulbs when the flowers are finished.

I will buy them 'in the green' next time then, that does sound more sensible.

In the mean time, if my bulbs do arrive soon does anyone know if it is in-time to plant them?
