I have used this company to purchase bulbs for a minimum of 5 years and have been very pleased with the products. No complaints, I recommend them to all of my friends.

This company sells very impressive, healthy, amaryllis bulbs. They were so large that I just had to weigh them! The largest was just over 1 Lb and even had an offset growing. Anyone that has purchased a "Walmart" bulb before, will no doubt be pleasantly surprised when receiving these bulbs.

I am normally a cactus/succulent person, but this year I thought I'd try my hand at some amaryllis. I ordered three amaryllis bulbs from this company. They shipped the day after the company started shipping for the season, and arrived in great condition. The bulbs are:

- about the size of softballs,
- firm,
- otherwise healthy looking as far as I can tell, and
- starting to grow (two plants have pushed the cut leaves up about 1/2 inch, the third has about 1/2 inch of new leaf tips coming up)

The bulbs also ship with a sheet of detailed instructions.

Further, I was having (and still am....pffffft) big problems with a DIFFERENT company in Michigan (that I won't name here) from which I ordered some outdoor plants and bulbs, which made me anxious about my order here. I called their customer service line just to double check that things were OK. The man I talked to was super nice, helpful, and knowledgeable, and, incidentally, also confirmed that the bulbs would ship when they did, i.e, mega on time.

Based on my experience, I fully recommend Amaryllis Bulb Company :-D

I ordered 4 amaryllis bulbs from the company. They came on time and all the bulbs looked great. I ordered the "one of each" special offer, but noticed that I received two of the same instead of three different amaryllis. I contacted the company and they immediately sent out a new bulb to replace the one I was missing with a nice note. The bulbs I have planted are already starting to produce leaves. I am pleased with the product and I was very satisfied with their customer service.

They surely know how to make a gardener happy! Their customer service, high quality-super healthy bulbs, and packaging, were superb. They attended some specific requirements I had with a top notch positive attitude at all times. I wish there were more online nurseries like this one, where one, as a customer, really feel valued.

I want to applaud Amaryllis Bulb Company for offering a top quality product and having wonderful customer service. I have ordered from them two times over the past few months and have received the best amaryllis bulbs I have ever seen. I did have an issue with one bulb. I wrote an email and explained my complaint. Very quickly, they responded and corrected the problem free of charge to me. They accepted my explanations and never questioned my veracity. This is a top-notch business with a great product. The bulbs are an excellent value and worth the difference in cost to bulbs from the big box stores.

As a first time customer, I kept my order small. Specifically looking to grow my Hippeastrum cybister collection, I purchased Lima and Emerald on 4-11 for $10 each (plus $7.95 shipping) - a great price for cybisters! Product arrived via FedEx on 4-14, well-packaged and in beautiful shape! They are blooming size already, but I don't expect large or heavy flowering until next spring, when their roots have settled in. I will definitely give them another go-round next time I see something I want from them!

I became besotted with Amaryllis upon learning (at DG) that they could bloom year after year. By the time I started looking for bulbs, though, it was late fall. Nobody had any except - THE AMARYLLIS BULB COMPANY. I am right now enjoying the results of my discovery. We have flowers all over the house! I would have given this company 5 stars except for kbaumle's report, below. I ordered online and dealt with no humans. My bulbs were all healthy and all are blooming!

I have ordered many bulbs from ABC. So far I have been happy with the quality. Also it is one of only a few companies that I haven't gotten mislabeled bulbs from.

I have ordered amaryllis from the Amaryllis Bulb Company for several years. The bulbs are always large and bloom twice before going dormant. Some flowers have been so outstanding that my clients thought they were artificial.

I so wanted to give a positive rating to this company, but am struggling to not leave a negative. I am leaving a neutral rating for the time being, and if I don't get resolution to current problems, I will change it to a negative.

I ordered three different kinds of amaryllis and some paperwhites. The paperwhites were wonderful. The amaryllis have been a pain. First of all, when I received the order, I was disappointed in the condition of the bulbs. 'Susan' had a large chunk out of it. 'Green Goddess' was two-thirds rotted. The others had areas of red on them that had me suspicious as to their health. By the time I got the rotted area of 'Green Goddess' cut away, there was only about one-third of the bulb left. I potted it up anyway. I contacted Ann Marie at the company, and she was willing to refund my purchase price on the amaryllis. I should have taken her up on her offer, but wanting to be fair, and suggested we wait and see how the bulbs performed.

'Green Goddess' eventually had to be thrown out, due to more rot and worms. I let Ann Marie know, and she promptly refunded my money for it. So far, so good. Sort of.

'Susan' bloomed and very obviously had a problem with a virus. The bloom was crinkly and spotted. I e-mailed Ann Marie about this and included a picture. After a couple of days, I got no response, so e-mailed again, and also informed her that 'Misty' has just stalled in growth, after initial growth peaked through over a month ago. I offered to send pictures of the bulbs. I have gotten no response from Ann Marie at all, to either of those two e-mails.

I will probably not do business with this company again, for two reasons:
1. Did not received healthy bulbs.
2. Lack of response to customer service issues.


On March 24th, 2006, kbaumle changed the rating from neutral to negative and added the following:

It's been long enough for this company to contact me about resolving the issues I have with their bulbs and I have not heard a word. I am changing my rating to negative.
On March 28th, 2006, kbaumle added the following:

I received notification from my credit card company this morning that I had received a credit of $8.50 from Amaryllis Bulb Company on 3-26-06. I can only assume that this is for the 'Susan' bulb that has the virus (although I paid $9.50 for it), since I've still received no response from the company themselves. While I'm appreciative for this compensation for the unhealthy bulb, my negative rating still stands, due to the hassle this order has involved.
On February 27th, 2007, kbaumle changed the rating from negative to positive and added the following:

Well. I have to say that Ann Marie has managed to change my mind completely about my feelings toward this company. She has gone out of her way to make things right with me this year. I DID take another chance at ordering from her since she had the amaryllis that I was wanting, and I have been more than pleased. While I'm not happy with UPS leaving a box on my porch in sub-zero weather and not notifying me, even though I was home at the time, Ann Marie stepped up to the plate and I now have beautiful, healthy bulbs. She went WAY out of her way to make my previous experience up to me and I can't say enough nice things about her and this company. She felt horrible about what happened last year and I have to say that I am amazed at the effort she went to for me, just one customer. That says a lot.

Many thanks, Ann Marie. All is forgiven! ;-)

ABC was just wonderful. I ordered about nine bulbs this fall and they were beautifully large and healthy. Roots looked great. They forgot to include one of the bulbs I ordered and after I notified them, it was delivered in just a few days. I also ordered bulbs from several other companies and none of them came close to ABC. I had to do very little trimming of roots. Some of the bulbs I obtained elsewhere, I was lucky if one or two roots remained after trimming. They will be my company of choice for amaryllis bulbs next year and, hopefully, many years to come.

Just got my order yesterday, and they are beautiful, huge bulbs delivered to me in a flash. Honestly, these bulbs are about the size of a grapefruit. I would not hesitate to order from Amaryllis Bulb Company again.

I ordered $200 of bulbs from this company. They arrived precisely when told they would. Each bulb is in perfect condition, some the largest I have ever seen. Clear planting and reblooming instructions are included. This is not a discount shop; you pay for the quality. You cannot order directly from the website, but email your order and get a return phone call from the owner. This phone chat, I promise, will be one of the hi~lights of your day, as Ron is a "character" in the finest sense of the word.
