    I had a chocolate Cosmos tuber from Wilkos last ear, grew well and flowered well for a while but died down very early, not sure whether it has survived.

    I bought a Dicentra Alba as well, that flowered very early as it was shooting when I planted it.
    I'll have a look and see if there is anything interesting when I go next time.

      Just got this year's catalogue from Anglia Bulbs. The ones I got last year flowered, and they state (on pretty much everything) "Large/Flowering sized bulbs", and the other things I got from them were definitely of a decent size.

      Pack of 3 for £3.95, 6 for £7.50

      They have Sulphur Queen as well. Not sure it looks as "showy" though?
