for SWMBO "we" are going down the container route and am looking for a
reliable supplier for miniature daffs and tulip bulbs and spring
flowering plug plants - primulets(?) pansies etc. Thanks.

Parkers are good for bulbs. We don't sell bulbs in our nursery but we
use Parkers for the ones we want for the garden.

If you're going to go the plug route (and one of our customers has just
sworn he'll never do so again!) you'll have to have somewhere to shelter
them and bring them on yourself until they're ready to be planted out
into their final home.

I've been very pleased with mail order plug plants, which have always
landed on the doormat, first class post, in perfect condition.
Those I saw in the local garden centre looked very sorry for themselves,
so one can only assume they don't have much of a shelf life.
