Comments regarding Brent & Becky's Bulbs

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.

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!

Thank you, dave12122! Yes, it is possible that Becky answered and helped you. It's also not unusual to have our Office Manager help, but usually it's the best CSAs a company could ask for - Kristen (been here for decades!), Karen or Terry will answer. We're happy that you were helped and everything arrived as expected. We appreciate your business and your kind words! Happy gardening!"

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.

Thank you, BaileyiBlue! And we look forward to much of the same later on! We're here for you!"

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).

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!!!!!!

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!

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.

You\'ve just made our day! That\'s wonderful news! Thank you for taking some time out of your day to spread a little cheer. All the best, and happy gardening!

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.

"On Dec 23, 2021 11:01 AM, Brent & Becky\'s Bulbs responded with:

Thank you so much for your kind words! This was a very busy, stressful season. So, these words soothe us to no end! Merry Christmas!"

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.

"On Nov 22, 2021 8:23 AM, Brent & Becky\'s Bulbs responded with:

OH OUR GOSH! I don't think you understand how much we needed to hear that right now! We're struggling right now. With the shipping system starting us off about 3 weeks later than normal, on top of the number and sheer size of the orders, we're struggling to keep our head above water and get all of the orders out. We thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to write this review. It seems that people sometimes find it easier to complain, but won't take the time to praise. Thank you very much, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, from us and ours!"

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.

"On Apr 1, 2021 8:27 AM, Brent & Becky\'s Bulbs responded with:

We're so happy that you had a better success rate than the box store versions. We would love to figure out what happened that you didn't get 99% - 100%. That's what we strive for. We're available if you would like to discuss it. 877-661-2852. Thanks 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.

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.

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.

"On Nov 5, 2020 11:22 AM, Brent & Becky\\\'s Bulbs responded with:

Ouch. This stings a lot! Another first customer disappointed in us. But, you are exactly right! First, let me address one thing. The Process Date on your order is the day we begin the fulfilment process. And it states that it should arrive within 7 to 10 business days after that. So, you order should be leaving here soon.

Secondly, what a year for you to try us out. This is far from the attention we normally give people! The reason? Covid-19. Every e-commerce business is through the roof! And FedEx/UPS/USPS, etc are running like crazy to keep up with the shipping of all of the e-commerce business. People are staying in and ordering online. So, A: orders for us are WAY up (3.5 times normal) and B: Staffing is down (some have opted out to keep their families healthy). We are being inundated with phone calls and orders to a point we can\'t keep up any more. So, we\'re scrambling to do what we can and it has affected our normal operation. Brent and Becky are in the warehouse shipping, office workers are in the warehouse shipping, Shoppe workers are in the warehouse shipping, employee\'s family members are pitching in with shipping, and even our own distant family members have come into town to help. We are truly sorry for your experience and we hope, that after things calm down, that you give us another chance.

Feel free to reach out on FB or through SpeakPipe (on the About Us page on our website) if you have any questions.

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.

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

"On May 12, 2020 11:12 AM, Brent & Becky\'s Bulbs responded with:

Thank you, Lorenzo! Happy planting!"

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.

"On May 12, 2020 11:11 AM, Brent & Becky\'s Bulbs responded with:

We were happy to help! And we're happy that you're so pleased! Can't wait to see pictures of them later in the Summer! (Sorry, didn't see this until today!)"

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!

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

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.

"On Feb 4, 2019 10:52 AM, Brent & Becky's Bulbs responded with:

SonnyandSam, we can't tell you how much it means to us when people take the time to send out a good word. But YOU! Wow! Thank you for taking your time to submit not only wonderful comments but also in such detail!

Reviewing your review, 3rd paragraph, we are using an old system. It's an old nursery database software which you don't find just anywhere. It allows accounting for rots, order now-pay later, order now-ship later, and more. We've gotten comfy in these "old shoes" but we will look into ways that we can make it easier to comprehend.

Paragraphs 4 and 5 make us swoon with joy! :) Paragraph 6... yeah, it happens. We order 10,000 of something, we get close to 10,000 good bulbs, and in 6 weeks we are pulling 10% - 15% rots. We know this because we go through each order and do our best to make sure they're all good. When they are going bad on the shelf, sometimes we can't deliver all that was ordered. We appreciate your understanding. But, it does happen. If we sold tee-shirts, it would be an entirely different story.

Bulb crates! Yes, our kids used them in college as end tables, coffee tables, bedsprings, laundry storage and more. Unfortunately, the 2 big shipping companies we use have all of a sudden decided that these sturdy, secure, strapped, breathable containers are not "boxes" and want to charge us 10's of dollars more per crate to ship them. So, in the future, we will be shipping large orders in large boxes. No air circulation, not as solid, but we can't afford covering that much in shipping and it's not fair to pass it on to you. We'll see how it turns out.

Lastly, the timing of shipping. We can always ship them earlier if you want. Just let us know when you order when you'd like to receive them and we can help eliminate the race against time to get them in the ground.

Again, thank you! And we look forward to trying to make you this happy over and over and over!

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.

"On May 1, 2019 7:37 AM, Brent & Becky's Bulbs responded with:

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

"On Jan 31, 2019 9:03 AM, Brent & Becky's Bulbs responded with:

Thank you so much! This is always our goal, so thank you for taking the time to let us 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.

"On Nov 19, 2018 12:36 PM, Brent & Becky's Bulbs responded with:

Whoop, whoop! (happy dance) We're thrilled that you're happy with your decision! Thank you for taking the time to express your positive feedback! We'll do our best to continue to impress you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from us and ours!"

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.

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.

Thank you very much for your endorsement! We always try to do whatever we can to be helpful, from the beginning to the end of our process, and even beyond as things are blooming and questions arise. We'll be here for years to come, so thank you for your kindness and your two years of belief in us!

** swoon ** This is a great way to start out the week! Thank you so much! Holler if you need us!"

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.

Holy crow! This is the type of review we strive to receive every day! And you've just made ours! Thank you!!! Actually, the only thing that would have made it better would have been if you had come to get your order in person, neighbor! ;) You're not that far away, you should come visit sometime! The gardens are popping like crazy!

Thanks again and we look forward to making you smile more in the future!"

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.

"On Jun 14, 2015 8:32 AM, Brent & Becky's Bulbs responded with:

Holy. Cow! Thank you! We're practically light headed after reading that! We really do give our all everyday, and we spend a lot of time making sure you get the best product available. So, we aren't the "cheap guys" or "box store" types, and we don't apologize for that, because we feel that in the end, you win!

Thanks again for making our day!

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.

I placed my order on Monday night, May 28, the last possible moment before Brent and Becky's summer catalog closed. 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.

Thank you so much for your kind words! And welcome to the Brent and Becky's family! We look forward to helping you beautify your world for years to come. And speaking of years, it's been YEARS since we were in Sacremento, but we need to get back! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Happy gardening!"

After browsing lots of online bulb listings this winter, the combination of reasonable prices and interesting selection led me to choose to make an order from Brent and Becky's. My bulbs shipped the week promised when my order was placed, an appropriate seasonal time for my region. The shipment arrived with everything looking healthy and robust. When one item had not been included, the company's customer service representatives helped me resolve the issue quickly and easily. Would order again.

Awesome! Shipped very timely. Arrived well packed. Included instructions, a catalog & invoice. Bulbs very healthy. These will be a gift so I am extra pleased! Will order again.

Having never ordered from this company before I made a small order of lilies...a hard bulb to damage relatively speaking. They arrived a couple weeks ago and were nice and large. They're in the ground and will settle right in I'm sure.
I would like to order some live plants as well.

Well, since we're all human, sometimes things happen. But your experience is what we strive for every day! Thank you for your new trust in our company and we'll do everything we can to make sure every experience is just like this one!"

I have ordered spring bulbs the last two years. Good quality. Example, five Monal Daffodils planted last fall produced 16 bloom stalks this spring.

What WHAT!?!? Boo-yah! Whoop whoop! (sorry, celebrating!)

Thank you so much! Let's try it again this Fall and make it a yearly trifecta.

I have placed multiple orders over the years with Brent & Becky's Bulbs. They have an extensive selection, I find the website easy to navigate, all the bulbs I've received have been healthy and large. All orders I've received have been accurately filled, arrived on time, and are well packaged. I view my purchases as an investment and am rewarded every year as the bulbs I've planted multiply and make my yard beautiful.

This is my first order with this company. The Liatris and Crocosmia are huge bulbs and well labled and packaged. I just planted them. I will order again. This company knows what they are doing.

HOLY MOLY! We can't believe that you've taken the time, this many times, to say such nice things about us! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! It means the world to us!"

I placed my first ever order with Brent and Becky's Bulbs this fall. Using the online catalog I placed my order quickly and easily for some Eranthis and Cyclamen. I was contacted shortly thereafter by their staff to let me know the Cyclamen were sold out. No problem -- I substituted some Helleborus. The bulbs and plants arrived in perfect shape today. The plants were packed with great care. The unavailability of the Cyclamen is not a big deal to me. I realize that things can happen when dealing with live plants as opposed to manufactured goods. I am giving my first order with Brent and Becky's Bulbs a positive rating.
