Best to put off planting Tulips till November. The rest can go in from now, I put mine in the gaps but not up close to the plants as they too need room to grow. If you have annuals they can be removed and bulbs then planted.

Most spring bulbs will be fine if planted end of September early October. Daffodils (narcissus) really prefer to be in the ground by end of August though, and Tulips, as already said, do better if left till end of October or November for planting.

Or, plant them into pots in groups of 5 or 7 and then plant the whole potload out later on, into the spaces.

There is still time to plant bulbs, so you might get more space when the flowers you have die back, especially if they were annuals, that is, if they only last a season, because they could be removed when they die back.
