We carry both fall-planted bulbs (which bloom in the spring), and spring-planted annual bulbs (which bloom in the summer).
Fall-Planted Bulbs
Our fall-planted bulbs usually arrive in late September from Europe and are shipped out by early November. If the temperatures have not yet cooled in your area (zones 8, 9 and 10 especially), it may be best to store your bulbs until they do. Keep them in a cool, dark, dry place until the conditions are favorable. Conditions are best when day temperatures begin to drop to 55°. This usually happens when night-time temperatures are dipping to 50° or cooler consistently. Avoid storing bulbs in the refrigerator—it’s too moist and some foods can be affected. The planting instructions are printed on each bag for reference.
Spring-Planted Annual Bulbs
Our annual bulbs usually arrive here in late March and will ship at the best planting time for your growing zone. If the temperatures have not yet warmed in your area (cold zones 3, 4, 5 especially), it will be best to store your annual bulbs until your last frost date has passed. Keep them in a cool (but not cold!), dark, dry place until the conditions are favorable. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator—it’s too moist and cold. The planting instructions are printed on each bag for reference.
