Not sure where my orginal post went! Just after a bit of advice on planting my allium bulbs. I was given some for Christmas, didn't get a chance to plant them, and am wondering whether I could get them in the ground now? Or would I be better by Louise Matthews

bulbs in pots
All my bulbs are in pots to be planted in a suitable place when i get round to it. But. There's a little iris that would look really unimpressive in the garden but is great in a pot. Would it be better to leave it in the pot for next year (I can by nutcutlet

Babiana bulbs
When is the time to plant Babiana and Sparaxis bulbs? Thanks. Are you growing these in a frost-free greenhouse or outside?  If in the greenhouse you can plant your Babianas any time now.  If you want to grow them outside wait until late spring by eddie3
