Comments regarding Holland Bulb Farms

Love Holland Bulb Farms! Have ordered Hyacinth bulbs from them and Lily bulbs. Just received another fall delivery today of Orienpet bulbs and they were perfect! Easily 18cm's+ and healthy! Highly recommended! If you are reading this and you are a lily lover like me and have never grown "Satisfaction", good Lord, order it right now! I love all my lilies but this variety was amazing this summer!

we planted our bulbs early last fall and here on the west coast they are up blooming nice and healthy. We have spent the last 7 days working in the garden each morning despite the weather and they have been wonderful to enjoy. -Ron

Ordered some Calla Lily bulbs through them. I received them quickly. Not the cheapest place, but not bad either. Now I'll just have to see how they do. But, a positive experience so far.

There seems to be mixed messages regarding Holland Bulb Farm, I agree with one comment that shipping the bulbs I ordered in August '99 took longer to arrive so I couldn't plant the daffodils, tulips and hyacinths, the snow was already on the ground and it was frozen. The lilies planted in '98 have been very productive in blooming year after year, very hearty and vigorous blooms from spring to fall; I have received many compliments from my neighbors.The tulips, daffodils and grape hyacinths failed to show any success despite my rigorous care to develop at least 25 of the 50 bulbs ordered and planted, only a few showed but failed to survive or show any color or good health. More disappointments from the amount of $$ spent for such a small yield but still willing to try another bulb farm for luck. Living up in the farthest north has its challenges and I am beginning to learn more as I go along trying to grow. To summarize my experience with Holland Bulb Farm, I would order lilies from them again but doubt it for tulips and hyacinths despite the 100% guarantee given.

Holland Bulb Farm's name is too close to New Holland Bulb Farm's name. Do not confuse them because the quality and service do not compare. Check the New Holland Bulb comments to see quite a shocker compared to this list of comments.

I loved the Pink Supreme Tulips from their 1997 catalog. The blooms were HUGE and such a reasonable price! I wish I could find the same tulips but they are not in their current catalog. I left them in the ground for another season since they were so spectacular, they came back a little smaller but still beautiful. Every bulb was in great condition. I will order from them again.

I ordered perennials from Holland Bulbs in summer/fall/97. I was impressed with the size, condition and the packing of the plants. However, they arrived so late in the fall, the weather had already started to get cold, so I don't know yet whether they will come back this year. Customer service seems extremely helpful over the phone (800 number) and they say they will replace anything that doesn't grow. Based on that, I ordered more for this spring. Haven't received them yet.

I have been ordering bulbs and perennials from Holland Bulb Farms for the past 5 years. You can place your order over the telephone with their 800 number and it does not cost you any money. The bulbs are of the best quality that I've ever received from a mail-order company. The order is always packed perfectly so nothing is damaged during shipping. The girls on the telephone are always helpful and willing to find the answers to all my questions. They say if you have a problem they will replace the item with no questions asked-can't ask for anything better than that!
