Comments regarding GardeningBulbs.com

I ordered 2 Hardy Geranium Double Jewel very early in the spring. When they came they were very, very nice bare root plants. When I planted them they came up beautifully. I only wish I had ordered more before they were sold out.

I bought some White Feather Hostas, at a good price, and they all arrived in good condition. If they are virus-free, I will be very happy.

I've ordered quite an array of items from gardeningbulbs.com and overall my experience has been positive. I've ordered hanging basket begonias, dahlias, lilly of the valley, freesia, asiatic lillies, astilbe, and calla lillies. I'm a complete novice (as probably evidenced by my hodge-podge of choices) but have had fairly good luck.

Everything came up, with the exception of the lilly of the valley and one of the Dahlias. I called about the Dahlia and they promptly replaced it. I suspect I planted the Lilly of the valley wrong. Astilbe started really slow, but I suspect I planted it upside down (be kind, I'm a novice).

The freesia has grown, but no blooms yet. I don't know if it's too soon, or something I've done/not done, but I haven't given up on it yet. Half of the asiatic lillies have bloomed, and the colors are incredible, definately worth the wait, those that didn't make it were the result of unleashed neighborhood dogs.

Considering how little I know, and how many things I've since learned I've done wrong & the fact that they were so quick to offer up a replacement the one occasion on which I called, I'd have to believe the bulbs were of good enough quality to survive me and I will order from them again.

I'm not sure why I chose this relatively unknown (to DG) to buy bulbs from; maybe because they have not just bulbs but perennials, too. Today I got autumn lilac crocus and (bare root) Royal Velvet Potentilla. I guess I'll have to wait and see how everyone does.
