Brent & Becky's Bulbs

Brent and Becky's was my favorite place to order flower bulbs, but then I moved to an area where it is impossible to grow bulb flowers and near impossible to grow any flower unless it is in a raised bed or hanging pot. I always loved the wonderful selection of bulbs available and the prices were very reasonable. I miss my annual bulb order and maybe someday I will build a flowerbed that is critter proof ... at least underground critter proof. I would highly recommend shopping at Brent and Becky's website for amazing flowers.

I ordered two sets of lily bulbs from Brent and Becky's a few weeks ago. Since it was their end-of-spring sale, the bulbs were heavily discounted and I expected them to be good at best - but the bulbs I got were all large and in wonderful shape. They are all doing very well - even the ones that a chipmunk started digging up that I had to replant!

I order from Brent and Becky's every fall and spring and I have never been disappointed. I love that they carry plants that are heirlooms as well as the latest, greatest cultivars. They mark their favorite plants in the catalog with a heart symbol and I've found I can always trust those to be truly great plants! Bulb quality is top notch.

It saddens me to leave a less than positive review, as the owners themselves seem lovely, knowledgeable, and passionate about plants. I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Brent Heath himself over the phone (I had called customer service with some daffodil questions, and the kind customer service representative transferred me to him). He was very patient, helpful, and a joy to talk with. However, this is the second year in a row now that my bulbs are shipping too late for my preference. I live in zone 6B and received all of my other bulbs (from ~10 other companies) in September to mid-October, giving me plenty of time to plant them in decent fall weather. It's November now and my Brent & Becky's order of daffodil bulbs (a gift ordered for me back in September) hasn't even shipped yet. It was the same case last year. I understand bulbs can be planted this late but I prefer to get them in the ground in October and like to be done planting on my own schedule before the weather worsens. Reading the responses to other reviews, it does look like you can request a shipping timeframe, but I don't recall this being apparent to me during the checkout process. I wish their 'default' shipping time for my zone was sometime in October. Sadly, I don't think I'll order from them again unless there's a way to ensure the bulbs are shipped in a more timely manner.

Posted on April 1, 2021, updated October 28, 2023 Posted on November 3, 2010, updated April 1, 2021 This was my first order from this company. Bulbs were delivered lightening fast, and arrived in less than a week from the internet order date. Everything looks very healthy. The X Amercrinum is so large it would put a softball to shame! Even more noteworthy, the Eremurus have long healthy roots, these are the very best I've seen and reasonably priced. Next Spring will tell the tale for sure, but so far I would definitely order from Brent and Becky's Bulbs again! They care about their product and it shows!

I have bought bulbs (tulips, hyacinths, crocuses, and leucojum) from Brent & Becky's for a couple years now and so far they've been great. Never had any issues. Bulbs have always been on time, healthy, decent size, and accurate cultivars sent. Can't really ask for anything more from a company.

I’ve used them for a few years and can comfortably say their bulbs are top quality and reliable. I’ve been hesitant to get foxtail lilies after a disaster with another company. Brent and Becky’s foxtail lilies thrived and were massive with full blooms the first spring after I’d planted them. None of the various bulbs I got were skimpy or unhealthy. Truth be told, a few bulbs here and there were so robust they could have been considered several bulbs. They were quick to respond to an inquiry I had once and clearly explained everything to me. I greatly appreciate good communication because it makes for a much better customer service experience. This is my go to for bulbs now.

I have been ordering from this company for many years (including when they were called Daffodil Mart (30+ years ago)). I have nothing but great things to say about Brent & Becky's. Their customer service is excellent. In more recent years, they even provided thousands of free bulbs to my 4-H club (in another state) which we planted in a local park multiple years (and they are still blooming). Everything I have received from them was in great condition upon arrival and grew well. I often take advantage of end-of-season sales and try things new-to-me, and even then, things have gone well. They are truly a 5-star company (not to be confused with Br*ck's).

In 2018 I ordered 100 crocus bulbs from Brent and Becky's. None of them came up the following spring. Last fall I ordered 25 Tete-a-tete daffodils from them. Not one came up. I have never had this experience with bulbs from other companies and I've been gardening for four decades.

I ordered some plants on their recent end-of-season sale so I didn’t know what to expect. First, the boxes were shipped immediately and I received them within a few days with great shipping notifications. The plants were perfect and wrapped with extreme care. AND, I was pleasantly surprised at how large and healthy the plants were. B&B made this an amazing experience and I can’t wait to order again! Thank you!!!!!!

Brent & Becky have a no refund policy unless you report problems on receipt of the bulbs. In my case the advertised collection was not what what I received and this obviously was not apparent until the daffodils bloomed. Also, many of the bulbs did not come up.

I only live about 45 minutes away from Brent and Becky's, so I usually order online and spend an afternoon driving up. They have an awesome selection and their bulbs always perform!

Posted on October 28, 2019, updated December 22, 2021 Posted on April 30, 2019, updated October 28, 2019 Posted on February 16, 2019, updated April 30, 2019 Posted on November 4, 2018, updated February 16, 2019 Posted on October 19, 2017, updated November 4, 2018 Posted on April 28, 2017, updated October 19, 2017 Posted on April 29, 2016, updated April 28, 2017 Posted on May 11, 2015, updated April 29, 2016 Posted on November 21, 2012, updated May 11, 2015 Posted on November 11, 2009, updated November 21, 2012 Posted on March 26, 2004, updated November 11, 2009 I have been ordering bulbs from B&B since 1999, and I would have to say that the results have been overwhelmingly positive. The lilies, chionodoxa, alliums, camasias and bulbocodiums have all been outstanding, but I have to give particular praise to their forced hyacinths, which I just ordered on sale this past season, and their amaryllis. I ordered amaryllis Picotee and Appleblossum, also on sale, and very late in the season, but one of my Picotees produced three stems, while another that produced two stems produced six flowers on a single stem. My only problem with B&B is that the quantities tend to be more than I can work into a setting. My garden is not large enough for 25 of one kind of daffodil, but for the so-called minor bulbs, the quality is had to beat, and I order every year without fail.

Posted on November 5, 2016, updated December 20, 2021 I ordered two different varieties of allium. I didn't know allium bulbs could be as big as the ones I got. Absolutely amazing. Will definitely order more from this company.

Another year, another great experience with Brent and Becky's bulbs. They have always sent clear emails, delivered true-to-name bulbs, and the bulbs have always been completely healthy. I cannot say all of these things are true about the other bulb companies from which I have made purchases in other years. The prices are also entirely reasonable, having compared them to a few other reputable companies.

I do not know what is going on with this company but I will never order from them again after my experience this year. I have ordered from them in the past and they have been great. I ordered some black elephant ears and decided to order a few caladiums to justify the shipping. This was March 3. They E-mailed me the next day and said they did not have the elephant ears but suggested a replacement which I did not want. I told them to just credit my card for the plants they did not have in stock. I heard nothing from them - no shipping or anything. So I re emailed them after a month thinking maybe they were confused about what I wanted. They shipped the caladiums about 6 weeks after I made my order but no refund. They will not refund me for the plants they did not have. I have called them several times requesting them to credit my card and Emailed them 3 times. They will not communicate or refund my money. It is not a huge dollar amount - about $17 but it is still my money. I am never going to order again. What if it had been hundreds of dollars and they would not credit my card. I get that maybe they have been too busy to keep up with plant availability on their website and I was bummed that they did not have what I wanted but nobody should have to wait three months for a refund!

I placed a large order for various kinds of bulbs (tulips, alliums, iris, crocus, fritillaries, muscari, nectaroscordum) last fall. The order arrived in a timely fashion, and the bulbs looked great. Now that it's spring, I can confirm that most of them (>90%) have been a success, which is a far better rate than the store-bought ones I bought as a control sample. I intend to order from Brent and Becky's again.

I made a fairly large order in late summer for fall delivery (19 different kinds of bulbs). I received all the bulbs in October, in time for proper planting, and they were all very good quality. I have been ordering from this company for years and have always had an excellent experience, as I did this year, despite all the strain on mail order nurseries due to so many more people gardening this year. Seems like they are doing an awesome job in the face of unprecedented demand.

Posted on August 21, 2020, updated November 24, 2020 I ordered from Brent and Becky's for the first time last summer for Fall planted bulbs. My order included Anenomes, Triteleias, Dichelostemma's, and calochortus bulbs. Although I am in zone 10b and their website lists my area for November 15-30 shipping, I plant almost all my bulbs in mid Oct. every year and get good results. The only exceptions are things like Spider Lilies, Oxblood Lilies, Saffron Crocus, Sternbergia, and Amaryllis Belladonna. Most SoCal garden resources recommend those go in even earlier in August or September. On the order page, I requested if possible to have the bulbs shipped in late September to mid October, and they did. I really appreciated that. All the bulbs and corms were fresh and grew very well during the Spring. I got many compliments on the blue anemones and they bloomed over a very long period. I ordered again this summer for more. The only negative I can think of is I wish Brent and Becky's offered more South African bulbs, like Babiana or Watsonia. However, I understand they are in VA and don't grow generally for California gardens. I will continue to order bulbs from them.

Posted on November 5, 2020, updated November 14, 2020 Posted on November 4, 2020, updated November 5, 2020 This was my first time ordering from Brent and Becky’s. I placed my order way back in August for 300 crocuses and 150 tulips. They promptly sent an order confirmation at the time saying that the bulbs would be delivered by last week of October. I have been waiting for the order to arrive for 2 weeks now. The worst part is that any attempt to communicate with them is futile. The customer service number always plays a pre recorded message. I have left several messages on the answering machine as well as sent emails asking about the status of my order. There is no response whatsoever. As of.now I’ve no idea whether they have misplaced or lost my order. Highly disappointed by the customer service. I had done ample research prior to ordering to ensure that they were a reputed company.... Now I’m quickly losing faith.

I contacted them by phone on Sept 20 and then sent an email Sept 23. I had a question about the charges on my credit card and gave them all the info. Sept 25 I got an auto generated response that they received my email. It is now Nov 13 and STILL no response. I have ordered from this company for years but will not be doing that again. I await the rest of my order, and hope IT arrieves soon.

This was my first time placing an order with Brent & Becky's Bulbs. The people seem nice, but very disorganized. I placed my order on October 8, and it was a while before I heard from them vial email that they did not have one of the kids of tulips I ordered. It was only later that I realized that the nursery had attached an order from someone in New Mexico, complete with name, address, and every item she ordered and her total, which was higher than mine. I wrote back that I would order something in place of the tulip I had had ordered, since they didn't have it anymore, as well as additional bulbs. I created a new cart for these and asked how I could combine the order. It took 10 days to get a response, and that was only with two follow-up emails on my part. By the time I got a phone call from a very nice lady, I saw that what I had put in the new cart was no longer there. She didn't seem on top of what correspondence had gone on between myself and others at Becky's, and that's when I noticed the New Mexico order attached to mine. She said, "Well, I know it's a pain, but you're going to have to find the additional bulbs you wanted on our site and create a new cart." If she had just offered to extend me some sort of discount for the disappointing customer service, I probably would have stuck with them, but between that and waiting 26 days from the time of my initial order to that conversation, with nothing to show for it, I decided Becky's is definitely not a company I can count on. Now it's November 3 and probably too late to get a tulip garden going. Thanks, Becky's.

Ordered 36 dahlia bulbs...2 never grew, 1 was fairly sluggish but caught up eventually, and the other 33 bloomed their little heads off beautifully. 92% success rate = happy camper. Their ordering process is a bit archaic. Little info is available about your order online, so I had to call in several times to figure out what was going on with my order, but would happily do it again to get such high quality bulbs.

Posted on May 12, 2020, updated May 24, 2020 Posted on May 12, 2020, updated May 12, 2020 I bought first order 110.40 USD on brentandbeckysbulbs.com on March 16th 2020 and wait to receive them. but it's lost because brentandbeckysbulbs change my receiver name and I never receive Fedex message for shipping information. I contact my household, Fedex and brentandbeckysbulbs to help in lost package. But brentandbeckysbulbs just say we are shipped please contact Fedex. You ship with no signature required service. Yes, I do now. But it hard to do in this case. I want to know what's name on first package that you change. I lose 110.40 USD not receive anything. and very disappointed in your service a lot. It's first time but it's lost. And brentandbeckysbulbs blocked my Facebook already. He should get information in lost package that he change but not.

Received good-sized Crinum and Amarcrinum bulbs, and they appear healthy. Reasonably priced.

Ordered lily bulbs later than I should have. Placed my order last week and later realized that because of Covid19 staffing, I may not receive them until mid June! (Totally understandable don’t get me wrong). This was my error. Not wanting to sound pushy or selfish, I sent them an email a few days ago saying that I realize the bulbs may take a while to arrive but if at all possible, please ship ASAP so that I do not miss proper planting time. The bulbs arrived a couple days later. Lily bulbs can do poorly in storage and shipping but all the bulbs arrived healthy in great condition.

I ordered a collection of fragrant daffodils from this company about 2 years ago. The bulbs arrived in good condition and I planted them in a very large container. The first year only a few bulbs bloomed while most sent up leaves. Fragrance wasn't as strong as I'd hoped, so I waited until the next year for a better display. No such luck, even fewer bulbs flowered. This year there are no flowers yet, only leaves. Maybe it's time to divide the bulbs, but as far as I can tell they aren't crowded. While I'm not a master gardener I do have many years of experience gardening with bulbs, corms etc. I need to add that daffodils of all kinds do well in my climate, and the poor performance of these expensive bulbs has been disappointing. I still receive the regular catalogs from the company but haven't ordered anything since this collection.

I placed an order for 15 Erythronium bulbs on 23 September for shipping in October. My order was processed on 22 October and I was charged the full amount plus shipping. Shortly thereafter I received an email from the company that the bulbs had gone bad - or perhaps they just ran out. In any event, no bulbs would be sent. I was credited for the product on 30 October but not the $7.00 shipping charge. I called last week requesting the additional $7.00 and was told they would credit me right away. I'm still waiting! Overall, a very unpleasant shopping experience: place an order, wait 5 weeks, find you will not have the items you ordered, then find you've been charged shipping on something you never received. A big disappointment and now a big hassle.

My online bulb ordering experience was not very good with Brent and Becky's, but not negative enough to warrant a "negative". So instead I'm giving them a "neutral" although I do NOT plan to order from them again. I did love the plant descriptions in their catalog and they got everything in my order correct. I was not happy with the shipping date however. Our order arrived in early November. While I understand that one technically can plant bulbs that late in zone 5, it is not necessarily a pleasant experience. Mine arrived when the ground was frozen 2 inches. I had a miserable day planting these bulbs in the frozen ground, using a handheld drill to cut holes two inches deep in my lovely friable soil. In contrast, I made orders with John Scheepers, Van Engelen, and Longfield Gardens the same time (late July) and all those companies had my bulbs arrive in late September and early October, which is perfect for our locale - after about 2 weeks of frost but before the ground freezes. I was also super disappointed because I got a few tulips and hyacinths for winter forcing (a winter indoor bulb garden/basket). Because my Brent and Becky's order arrived in early November, I couldn't get them started on their pre-chilling regime until last week and now my bulb basket won't be blooming until early March - which extremely disappointing and is almost time for spring crocuses here. If I'd known about the late shipping I would not have ordered from this company. And I do not plan to order from this company again. However despite my negative experience I categorized my review as "neutral" (rather than "negative") because otherwise there was nothing wrong with my order. If you live in a warmer zone, this company may work well for you.

I have been ordering bulbs from Brent & Becky's Bulbs for the past several years and my experience with this company has always been outstandingly positive. The bulbs always arrive at the correct planting time and are individually labeled with a garden marker. There is always a wonderful selection of good gardener performers in their catalog.This year I ordered fall crocus for the first time (which were shipped separately at the correct time) and had a fabulous fall display. This company offers bulbs in smaller quantities than many other companies and this works out very well for a smaller garden. Additionally, when I have had occasion to speak with them on the phone (as for late additions to a pending order), their customer service has always been extremely helpful. Highly recommended in every respect!

I can't speak for their bulbs, though they do have a very nice variety available. I ended up cancelling my order, which was quick and easy to do over the phone. The reason I cancelled my order is that the shipping charges increased from the time I placed the order. I prefer to know the amount of my order before I place it. I originally hesitated to even place the order when I saw a message saying that they "might" increase the shipping by some unspecified amount, but since I'd already gone to the trouble of figuring out my order and they showed that the bulbs (all fall bulbs) typically only ship 2 weeks apart, thought I'd give it a try. Now I know better.

Wonderful, wonderful company. If all companies were this good, had products this superior and customer service this excellent life would be a much happier experience. Many thanks to all the B&B staff who made this review possible

Posted on February 4, 2019, updated April 30, 2019 I placed three orders for over 300 bulbs from Brent and Becky's during the summer of 2018. The orders were combined by the company and I was informed by email. Communication was excellent; combination of boiler plate language and personal comments about my order. Late in the fall I was also informed that one order of 25 daffodils was being cancelled because they found the remaining batch of bulbs were rotted or below their standards. So I appreciated the heads up and the honesty. Disappointed obviously but stuff happens. They did suggest optional bulbs that I might want to consider. While the email communication was pretty good, their billing/shipping emails are below average. It is simply difficult to follow orders and what they are doing, particularly when they are combining orders into one. Clearly need an upgrade in their billing/reporting email software. All text. Very old fashioned like getting a typed copy of an invoice with little structure. I suppose it works; just is not easy to read and follow without a lot of work on my part. Ordering on their site was fairly straight forward as I recall. Well organized web site and fairly easy to find what you want. Not quite as glamorous as some of the huge bulb/plant web sites but nicely done with lots of information and pictures. More pictures of flowers planted in mass would be appreciated. But this is a weakness at many web sites with a focus of one closeup picture only. Pricing is very fair and reasonable. I researched several bulb web sites and B&B was usually the best deal. Some of the large corporate sites often advertised 50% off deals but even that price was often higher than B&B. I bought some bulbs from two other large well known web sites just because I liked the look of the bulbs. I think I may have bought one batch of bulbs because the price was lower than B&B. I'd say the quality of the bulbs from B&B were higher; larger bulbs, more double bulbs and fewer shortages or dead (dried out) bulbs from B&B. They shorted me one bulb out of 300 but I got a couple extra bulbs in a different variety, so I never contacted the company. I figured it was all even. Besides, I got a lot of double bulbs that was not expected (i.e. a large main bulb with a child bulb attached. I got few double bulbs from the other two large companies). The bulbs were packed in an interesting way; but well packed. Each variety packed in their own netting bag with id labels stapled to the bags. Newspaper was used to pack the bulbs into a very sturdy plastic storage bin (think Rubbermaid). Will be a great bin to reuse in my garage. The outside of the bin has lattice openings to allow air circulation. The top was covered with heavy cardboard with the shipping label. Everything was wrapped tightly with nylon packing cord. I suppose my biggest complaint is how late they shipped them. They did ship them at the correct ground temperature time unlike the two large corporate sites that shipped their bulbs at least a month to 45 days early. My problem was I ordered way too many bulbs to get in the ground in a timely fashion because of rain and snow. I was still planting in early January! I eventually threw out some bulbs because of how late I was planting and the frozen ground and snow. We'll see how successful they are. It's so hard to pick just a few different kinds of bulbs! I need to work on my self control in the future. I always love supporting small businesses when I can. Brent & Becky's is a quality bulb provider. I recommend them without hesitation.

Posted on May 2, 2010, updated March 10, 2019 Posted on October 28, 2009, updated May 2, 2010 At next to the last minute this season I decided to look for some daffodils/narcissus - I had some plain ol' yellow and white ones growing. Then a couple years ago I decided to move them around, because at that time they were all in the same flower bed. I still don't know what happened, but the following spring only the white ones returned, which at the time didn't bother me, because I liked the white ones better, but this past spring I found that I missed having yellow among the white... However, I decided not to order more (at that time) because I didn't really want to order a bunch of yellow. If I was going to order some, I wanted to mix things up a bit. Well, then summer came and other things started blooming and I forget about daffodils/narcissus. Then I was reading the Watchdog last week, and decided I did want to go ahead and order some daffodils/narcissus, but of course at that point it was late enough that my usual places (online and offline) had pretty much sold out of the more exotic varieties (or didn't carry them in the first place). Anyway, on October 21st I started checking out Brent&Becky... Sure, they had some that were sold out, but they offered so many different kinds that I managed to find ones I wanted despite that. Still there was some fear about ordering so late, because I might not get them in time to put them in the ground. Some companies take up to three weeks to ship out an order, and three weeks would be pushing it, but I decided to order anyway and request B&B ship as soon as possible. Even then I figured it would be the first of November at least before I received my order, instead I got my bulbs in under a week! Awesome! That means I can have them in the ground before Halloween. And the bulbs are (in most cases) HUGH! I'm not kidding. I've dug up the bulbs in my own yard, and even the biggest I've found is still small next to the B&B bulbs. Well, two of the ones I ordered from them are about the same size as bulbs from my own yard, so it might be that others are just naturally larger, but either way I am impressed, especially since some of the bulbs were in the process of splitting, so in many cases they gave me almost twice as many as I ordered. The fast shipping and those large beautiful bulbs are the reason I decided to go ahead and post a positive rather than waiting until spring.

I have ordered from Brent & Becky's only a couple of times before and had a positive experience. The reason for my neutral rating is that I received a catalog in which an order can be placed and paid prior to March 1st and receive a 10% discount. The problem is that when looking online at the spring bulbs available, the vast majority of them cannot be ordered until after March 1st. I emailed the company about this a couple of weeks ago through their website, but a few days after I emailed I received a notification that the email could not go through. I do not know why this occurred. I have ordered in the past using the 10% discount prior to March 1st, but at that time all of the products were available to be ordered. Now when looking at the website, most items that I would want and possibly anyone else would want are not even eligible to be ordered until after March 1st. In fact, in looking at the website, there is very few items that even can be ordered before March 1st. I find this very disappointing. Even though the items will be shipped later due to spring I would like the opportunity to order what will be available now. It's a little misleading to offer the 10% discount, but yet have very few items that will ship in the spring even eligible to be ordered prior to March 1st..

I mostly buy tulips and daffodils ever year. Every year they have been excellent quantity with good results.

Posted on March 28, 2011, updated January 26, 2019 Posted on July 10, 2006, updated March 28, 2011 I ordered a dahlia, ranunculus, and amarcrinum, which all turned out well. The dahlia, in particular, was impressively healthy. I also ordered 40 or 50 leucocoryne, and not a single bulb came up - neither foliage nor flowers. I planted all of the bulbs the day after I received them, and I even planted them in several different sites in case they didn't like the soil conditions in one bed. (all were sunny garden beds where very little has ever failed to grow). After a few months, I sent them a polite e-mail, asking if there had been problems with these bulbs and relating my experience. I never got an answer. Since their guarantee seems to be basically 'you're responsible for the bulbs' success/ failure as long as they look OK when you get them', I didn't pursue this any further. Maybe it's my fault, but this is the first time I've ever had a complete bulb failure like this.

Posted on September 16, 2017, updated January 3, 2019 I cannot comment on their product, as it will not be arriving until two-and-a-half months after I ordered it, apparently; however, I can comment on the customer service. After a slightly misleading email stating they had received my order and would be sending an additional email soon ( which, after a week, I did not receive), I called their customer service and she seemed a bit confused about the whole order. Once she finally found my order, I explained that I had never received the second email, wherein she informed me that it would be sent when my order ships in late November...not "soon". I placed my order early September. Summing things up...not a very speedy order processing with this site, and the email confirmation might need more detail about the "additional email." Hopefully the product is worth the long wait. I will let you know.

Had been getting their catalogs for a few yrs and saw they had some amaryllis for sale that I would like to add to my collection. So placed the order I believe it was in Aug. they were shipped in Oct. They arrived in excellent condition except for 1 the flower stem was a bit damaged, it bloomed fine. But, was blown away as to the size of the bulbs, they were beyond huge. I know I will be ordering again from them in the future.

I order from them almost every year - always get the very best bulbs - this time I got 5 fancy daffodils in yellow and coral pink - gave 1 of each to daughter - she said they are huge and double - I said they always are - she asked if they would really provide 2 blooms - I said of course. I thought she knew more than me by now. Bet she starts ordering from these guys now. ;)

Ordered from them for three+ years. Always good to great to excellent quality bulbs, rhizomes, tubers and plugs of perennials. Great pricing. Highly recommend.

Posted on April 15, 2018, updated May 10, 2018 Posted on January 20, 2017, updated April 15, 2018 We have placed orders with Brent and Becky's for two years now. Primarily daffodils. But this year we ordered hyacinths and a few other things, too--in addition to more daffodils. They have been fairly good sized orders and we have been quite pleased with the quality of the bulbs. I liked the prices too. As long as they are fair like they are I will likely continue to add to my daffodil collection. We had great luck with the bulbs and they look beautiful. All my neighbors near my farm love the display. This year I had to add to my order because I did not order everything my 'household boss' wanted me to order. They were wonderful about the change. They also cooperated with me by having the bulbs delivered at the time I needed them. (We had to transport them to my farm about 250 miles north and there were some logistics with that). Very friendly, helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Posted on May 6, 2018, updated May 7, 2018 Planted 15 tulip bulbs last fall per instructions. (5 02-0813 yellow spring green) (5 02-1203 orange emperor) (5 02-1218 albert heijn) As of 5/6/18 I have only 8 that have come up, 4 orange emperor and 4 albert heijn, I lost all the yellow spring greens. I checked on there guarantee, which is there is no guarantee. Will not buy from them again!

Posted on December 9, 2017, updated April 26, 2018 Received feedback on when bulbs would be delivered, and they were delivered on time, in good condition, labeled in individual mesh bags.

I just received my spring order a few days ago. I was worried that it could get messed up due to the fact that I added to the order once and then later merged in a second order. I shouldn't have worried, because the order was perfectly filled. This was the best package order from any garden source that I have every received in my 40+ years of gardening by mail order. The order was shipped in a large plastic bulb crate secure and sound. All of the bulbs and plants were top size or larger and super healthy. When I was adding to and merging my orders, I spoke with two different customer service reps. Both were very helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. They saved me shipping costs when merging in the second order. From quality product to price, packing, shipping and customer service, I highly recommend this company.

Posted on June 13, 2015, updated December 6, 2017 Absolutely. The. Best. Aaaaaa-mazing. It doesn't get any better. I have been ordering from B&B for about 17 years. This was my first order from my new home and new zone. I ordered on Monday and received my order on Wednesday--truly amazing, even though it isn't that far for delivery--I basically got "overnight shipping" without any extra charge. The order was beautifully packed, with the individual bags very securely strapped inside a sturdy plastic crate. The bulbs are gigantic and beautiful, as always. B&B are perhaps more expensive than other places I like to buy from. They are also probably the best value--this company is a reminder of the truth in the old saying, "you get what you pay for." Even though I have come to expect superior service and product from B&B, they continue to exceed my expectations. To me, this means they are absolutely staying at the top of their game, year after year. I am greedily making my wish-list for my fall order from Brent & Becky. I recommend this fine company to everyone...if you haven't given them a try, it's time to do so.

Extremely slow shipping that causes products to arrive (hopefully, they have not yet), well after the ideal planting time. Even though it will be very late to plant them, I will have to pay a 25% restocking fee to return the product. A company that specializes in bulbs should ship products at the appropriate time for that region of the country. It is very difficult to reach customer service, since they do not always answer the phone.

I was a little skeptical of Brent and Becky's at first because the web infrastructure and ordering seemed a little dated but I'm very glad I ordered my dahlias from them. I really liked the small order size; it allowed me to try some new dahlias without having to buy 5+ at a time and their prices were comparable to bulk pricing. Each root was very healthy and I think I have only had 1 not come up. The little thing that I appreciated the most was their plant labels; each bag has a green, hard-plastic label that doubles as a plant marker. I planted 50ish dahlias this year and the last thing I wanted to do write another marker.

All of their bulbs were half priced, and I placed an "impulse order." I was really surprised when the large box of 35 bulbs (nine different ones) arrived on Thursday! They were beautifully packed and well labeled. Not a bad bulb in the lot. I planted them today (Saturday).

This year was my first year ordering from Brent and Becky's and I'm very happy with the goodies I've received. Everything arrived very healthy and is coming up perfectly. Their prices are fantastic and they offer a huge range of very exotic and rare lovelies. I will definitely order from them again.
