Where does everyone order bulbs from?

11 years ago

I was just wondering what websites everyone uses to order bulbs? I came across holland bulb farm that looked good and was wondering if there were any other good companies I should consider. I did my foundation landscaping this fall, and now I think I'm ready to start adding some flowers. Thanks!

There are a bunch of places. If you want reviews check garden watchdog and you should be able to get a good feel of who's good and who is waving a red flag.

For the more common bulbs I like Brent and Becky's, Van Engelen (and Scheepers), and I've heard good things about Colorblends. I bet you could search for a similar thread and get other suggestions.

Definately check garden watchdog. Like katob I use Van Engelen and Scheepers (sister companies). Excellent bulbs and correctly named.

Thanks for the garden watchdog recommendation. I didn't know about that site. I found several local places on there with great reviews that I didn't know about.

Thanks!

Garden Watchdog is an excellent resource.
If you want rare quality bulbs, try Odyssey Bulbs.

Heirloom daffodil bulbs ---- 1800's, etc. can be purchased from Old House Gardens, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Great people to work with.
