September and october is the best time. In beds plant 3 x their own depth using a trowel or bulb planting tool to do lots. Put gritty sand in hole if clay soil. In containers- few stones in bottom, then compost, push in bulbs close toghether, almost touching, compost on top and another layer of bulbs if you've space, more bulbs will give a better show.

I would plant them late Sept to mid October.
Do you have to plant them in Cornwall - seems a hell of a long way to go grow some daffs. What's wrong with your own back garden?

I don't think Cornwall has an opening time.

No, I live up in Bristol and ive put mine in this afternoon. They need to get in the ground before the frosts start.

No it's not too early, Make sure you cover them with 3 inches of soil.

They grow a lot better if you plant them in earth.

It's a long way to go if you live in the Midlands.

No, but it's silly if you happen to live in Yorkshire.
