Each was healthy and still green. Since I live in a warm climate (Mesquite, NV), they went into the ground immediately and are already beginning to sprout new follage (in two weeks). |

I placed an order last Friday morning and my order was delivered at 7:55 am SATURDAY morning.....less than 24 hours after placing my order. The bulbs were huge and fresh.....they even sent a freebie. On October 30th, 2008, fierynature added the following: Update: The white spider lily (lycoris) bulbs that I planted on Saturday are already sprouting.....less than a week after I planted them! I knew they were fresh, but wow, that is amazing. |

Bulbs were all a nice size and the peony root was far superior to others I have purchased from other vendors for the same price. I would definitely order from them again. On February 4th, 2009, zhenya added the following: I bought a batch of spring flowering bulbs from this company last fall due to the positives on this page. Although it is too early for them to have bloomed here yet, I must say that I was very happy with the quality of the bulbs received and look forward to buying from this firm in the future. |

I got my order today and am very impressed with the size of bulbs I got. I will be happily planting them this week, and looking forward to great plants and flowers! |
Positive | Scheherazade (5 reviews) | On Sep 26, 2008, Scheherazade Toledo, OH wrote: Simply Super services! Outstanding! On October 1st, 2008, Scheherazade added the following: I felt like adding some more comments on my follow-up (i.e. after-sale) experiences with this company. Since I received the bulbs, Kathleen communicated to me via eight more prompt emails helping me to find some other suitable products that will go along nicely with my trumpet lilies. She even recommended products that are not carried usually by her own company. She did extensive search for me and sent me some other company’s internet pages that carry the desired products. I must say that my order with Easy to Grow was a small order. If Kathleen gives such a royal treatment to a small customer like me, I wonder what type of treatments is in her bag for the large customers. |
Positive | CaribSherri (2 reviews) | On Sep 22, 2008, CaribSherri Simpson Bay, Netherlands Antilles wrote: I recently placed a small order at Easy To Grow Bulbs.com. I received an email almost immediately to advise on various shipping dates, rates, and options for my order. The customer service representative, Kathleen, was friendly, personal, and highly professional. The first part of my order arrived very quickly, and the quality of the bulbs were far better than I really expected. I scoffed at the idea of a 28-centimeter Belladonna, but indeed I received three bulbs ranging in size from 28 to 31 centimeters! The rest of the order was also as promised and packed well for shipment. The prices are quite reasonable, especially given the quality of product. On October 23rd, 2008, CaribSherri added the following: This company continues to amaze me. Today I received my third order; it traveled from California to the Caribbean in exactly one week. Extraordinary speed for this destination! This order was again largely due to Kathleen's knowledge & recommendations for my climate, and again, the bulbs are lovely. The paperwhite narcissus, in particular, were base-ball sized, firm, fresh bulbs; but six amaryllis were also big and solid, and I'm wild to see the oxalis spring forth! While planting these, I discovered that my previous orders are already poking their little green leaves out - despite a few unpleasant days in less-than-ideal protective custody while Hurricane Omar blew past! The customer service is SO good, and the products are SO consistent that I will soon be absolutely AWASH in flowers. I can't wait to see what the spring offerings will be! |

Both arrived very shriveled in appearance. I planted them anyway, thinking the company must know their business. Only one freesia sprouted. My complaint was met with a response that essentially said, "too late; you must have done something wrong."

On November 13th, 2008, ElizabethAnneM added the following: Another fantastic order. I had one tiny little problem with one bulb (a bulb that is hard to ship), and the customer service was above and beyond. Really a great company. Don't hesitate to contact them. |

I received 4 of the Rose Futurity Canna Lilies and 4 of the Crimson Beauty Canna Lilies Rhizomes, all were planted, all have come up beautifully. The people were very helpful as to answering questions I had also and I would highly recommend them as the first place to buy Canna Lilies from. I was very pleased and will be a forever customer. |

Positive | prettypie (3 reviews) | On Jul 31, 2008, prettypie Reno, NV wrote: I truly have recommended this company to all of my friends who garden. I've been impressed with every order, and I can't say enough great things about them. The Triumphator lilies I ordered a couple of months ago are thriving. More recently, I ordered some glads and dahlias, and I was definitely impressed. The tubers and bulbs were huge and very healthy looking. Between the large clumps and the smaller tubers, there were more sprouts than I could count. The bulk of the plants in my garden have come from this company and their affiliated site. Everything I've planted has come up beautifully, and when you're a new gardener like myself, this seems like a REAL blessing. Whenever I receive compliments on my flowers, I know who to really thank! On top of the great quality of their products, their customer service can't be beat. Kathleen always answers emails promptly and personally, and makes you feel like more than just a customer. I'm always happy to do business with them! |

Positive | titaniumRX8 (1 review) | On Jul 13, 2008, titaniumRX8 Mint Hill, NC (Zone 7b) wrote: I've made several orders with easy to grow bulbs and they have all been nice sized bulbs or plants and have done well in my yard. I've only had trouble with the Freesia I ordered, but that was only because I didn't read up on them beforehand - they do best in zone 9 or 10 where as I am in zone 7b. I've dug them up and will relocate them to a hotter part of my yard. I recommend them to anyone in warmer climates, because they offer a lot of items for the southern gardener. |

Due to some unseasonably warm temps, I requested that my order be shipped earlier. I received a response right away with an updated shipping date. Communication with this vendor was prompt, friendly and my overall experience was very good. The bulbs arrived on schedule and were healthy and are now blooming away. |

There was a mistake made in my first order, but I found the company to be very easy to reach and very responsive in correcting the problem. Two thumbs up! |

I received only 12 & the company quickly sent out the missing 1. The bare root roses were all healthy looking "sticks" as my partner called them & with a few days were putting out new leaves. I'm looking forward to my first rose. |
Positive | Trey9123 (4 reviews) | On Apr 30, 2008, Trey9123 Greer, SC wrote: I'm pretty new to gardening, and decided this year to order small batches of a bunch of different plants to try from several different companies so I could learn who to deal with in the future. Of the companies I ordered from, the bulbs I received from this company were by far the biggest, healthiest, and nicest looking overall. Out of the 50 or so mixed bulbs I ordered, 3 seemed a little off to me. 2 of the 12 Ornithogalum bulbs I ordered seemed a little stale. Also, 1 of the 3 ginger lily bulbs was a little undersized when compared with the other two very large bulbs in the bag. Everything else looked great and I was extremely pleased with the purchase. I let Kathleen know in an e-mail that I was very happy overall, but also about the 3 bulbs that I felt were a little off for her own quality control purposes. I did not ask for refund or replacement of any kind. About 2 weeks later I received a box in the mail. It contained 36 Ornithogalum bulbs to replace the 2 bad ones I had received, and another bag of 3 large and healthy ginger lily bulbs to replace the one slightly undersized one. This is with no prompting or or complaining from me. I would have to say that in all of my life, this is the best customer service that I have ever encountered from any business of any kind. Feel safe trusting this company to treat you to excellent bulbs and unmatched customer service, I certainly will again in the future. |

Each time I've found the products to be EXCELLENT, shipping to be FAST and the prices to be quite reasonable. They also respond to emails if you have questions or concerns and do so in a TIMELY and FRIENDLY manner. I've been impressed with their products and customer service on every transaction with them and would highly recommend them to everyone. |

Kathleen was kind enough to modify an existing order and ship it quickly. And although the Lily of the Valley ground cover pips are not doing as well as I'd like (only about 1/4 of the pips II planted are thriving), I have high hopes for the tuberose and freesia! - the bulbs were absolutely beautiful. |

I have never seen such large bulbs - even from the major companies that say they have the largest and best. Received order quickly and their customer service responds immediately. I normally buy over $1000 a year in bulbs,etc., and will be giving them all the business I can. |

Positive | StephD92 (2 reviews) | On Mar 23, 2008, StephD92 Benton, IL wrote: I ordered 4 different types of Dahlias, 1 type of Begonia, 3 different Oxalis, and received Ranunculus as my adventure pack. Customer service has been excellent! I was very pleased that the company mailed these early per my request. I wanted to get them started indoors. All arrived this past Friday and were the best looking bulbs I have ever received. A couple of the Dahlias had started to sprout in their bags. I put them in pots and they seem to be doing just fine. I will update later on anything else of note. |

Calif) and was very happy to get a prompt and thorough reply. They really know their stuff!! When my bulbs arrived, I was shocked to see how much bigger they were than those at my local nursery. I definately recommend these guys and will buy more from them soon...JT |

Upon request, customer service promptly (within an hour) combined the orders so I could save shipping and sent an updated email invoice. Kathleen in Customer Service also informed me in detail about a backordered item, and gave me several options about how I wanted the B/O handled. |

They have excellent service. I will be back to order in the fall. One of the items got left off my order ( which may have been my fault as I added on some bleeding hearts after the fact) So I delt with customer service twice. Not only was the product shipped out right away, but Customer service was helpful, friendly and a pleasure to deal with, in a time where getting any service seems to be rare, having great customer service is refreshing. On March 4th, 2008, redsonja1313 added the following: Oh and just because I saw her mentioned on here previously. Kathleen helped me both times as well. GIVE THE WOMEN A RAISE !! She obviously has earned it !!! |

One of my bags of bulbs had only 9 instead of the expected/advertised 10, so I did send an email. It's not a huge deal, and overall I am still satisfied and will likely order from them again.

They apologized and are sending it asap. I also had a couple questions, and their response was very helpful, considerate, and understanding.
