As autumn comes to a close, tulip deals begin to crop up in garden centres and online. So, if you're looking to prep your plot for a colourful post-winter show – without splashing the cash – now's the perfect time to shop.

One of the reasons why they're so cheap towards the end of the season is that the window for planting bulbs is nearly over. But, if you act fast, there's still time to get them in the ground, or into containers, as long as winter frosts haven't set in. In fact, planting as late as possible is a good way to prevent the common disease tulip fire.

We've scoured the web for top savings on beautiful tulips that will give any garden a boost once warmer weather arrives.

If you love the intrigue of almost-black flowers, this dark tulip is a must-have. Late flowering with deep purple blooms, it will keep the interest going in your garden as other spring flowers fade. A favourite of many.
