I have ordered from Easy To Grow Bulbs over the past few years. Placing an order is a breeze; their web site is very easy to navigate. My orders have been shipped promptly and they have sent out email notifcation. The quality of the bulbs that I have received has been excellent. I also have found the planting information to be very useful so that I can properly place and care for the bulbs. Before my first order I was not at all familiar with bulbs. I feel that Easy To Grow Bulbs has helped me succeed.

I have ordered several different types of summer-flowering bulbs from this company and have been very pleased with the quality of the bulbs. Right now the gloriosa lilies which I planted a couple of months ago are up and blooming and growing vigorously. They are gorgeous. I've never been disappointed with this company and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic - ordered 2 Colocasias, 1 Plumeria, and 6 Dahlias. All sprouted quickly and look beautiful now. It was my first Plumeria, and wasn't sure about a few things regarding its care -- Easy To Grow responded quickly to my questions and helped clear things up. While the free Crocosmia bulbs haven't yet sprouted (slow to sprout, I understand), they were free, so I'll just keep 'em going and overwinter them and see what happens. Overall, I've been very happy and I'll definitely be back as a customer.

Great bulbs and good prices shipped out when asked and no damage on the plants. The gladius bulbs are huge and the canna's are also huge and firm. The packaging is great also. 5 stars

I was very pleased with this company's commitment to its customers. I ordered several pink lily of the valley pips as a gift for different people, and, while the order shipped promptly, it wasn't the entire shipment. I immediately called the company, and Kathleen apologized for the mix-up. The remaining plants shipped the next day and arrived at my mom's the following, with a personal note from Kathleen to my mom apologizing for the mistake.

I give Easy to Grow Bulbs the highest ratings for their customer service. Finding a good bulb company can be a nightmare, but I know I'll return to this company!

I've placed two orders with this company, beginning in Oct 2008. Their bulbs have been a good size, well-packed and shipped in a timely manner. The spring bulbs have bloomed beautifully this year.

I also ordered 2 hardy geraniums in October. When one of those bloomed, it turned out to have been mislabeled. I e-mailed the vendor, and received a response within 48 hours promising to replace the plant. Within another 48 hours, I had received not one, but three nice healthy bare roots. Although I didn't expect the additional plants, this is the way I treat my customers if I make a mistake, and it's definitely the way I like to be treated!

I received my order from this company. The iris I received from them was just a beautiful plant -- you really couldn't ask for better. However, I perceived a problem with my canna lily roots; they were large but 2 did not have any active growth points, perhaps just the hidden ones, if that. And they just would not start; the third one grew as expected. Anyway, I contacted the company after a month of no growth (in large pots, indoors) to give them the benefit of doubt or ignorance on my part. Short story: I received as good customer service from this company as one could want or imagine. They replaced my order and I will be a loyal customer. This is the way customers want to be treated.

Just got my order, great size bulbs. I have always done well with the items I've ordered in the past and compared to other online places, they never look as good as the ones from EasyToGrowBulbs. They even sent a discount code also on certain items, how nice...Gotta love'em.

I will add to the shining reviews -- last month I ordered Gloriosa tubers, Callas, Cardiocrinum Giganteum (which came packed with special care, as it is a large bulb and had quite a bit of growth showing already), Flowering Ginger, Lily of the Valley, Freesias, Peacock Orchids, Conco D' Or Lily, Tuberose and all of them looked very healthy, large and were packed very nicely. I received a few blood lilies in my 'adventure pack' that I've never grown. So, I'm excited about that too!

The website planting guides are very helpful as well. The only interaction that I had with customer service (outside of order confirmation, of course) was asking if they could send the bulbs earlier than the suggested date for my area. They did so and the products showed up very promptly. Although, I feel like I'm missing out since I haven't gotten to speak to Kathleen, lol...sounds like the star of the company to me. ;-)

I went to the link from Dave's and I'm glad I did. I will be ordering more in the future and have already told a couple of friends about my experience. Thank you!

I can't begin to tell you how WONDERFUL I think this company has been for ordering bulbs. I bought a house two years ago, and last year decided to make the yard into more than just grass and weeds. I didn't know ANYTHING when I started to order, and ordered Gladiola bulbs from them a little towards the end of the season. I planted the massive bulbs as soon as they arrived, and sure enough they flourished. I had people who would drive past my house and comment on the assortment of beautiful glads I had by the side of my house. Then, I was hooked!!! Kathleen is the only person I have spoken with there, and I wouldn't want it any other way! She always takes her time to explain everything I am asking, or inquiring about. She helps me pick things that will compliment each other. She offers suggestions, and asks questions of what I am trying to accomplish. I don't feel like I am getting customer service help, it feels like phoning a gardening friend that is more than happy to share her experience to help me get what I want out of my garden. I have ordered now several times in the past year, and had only one order that arrived a little off. The daffodil bulbs that I ordered were a little black inside and mushy when they arrived. One call to the company and I had replacement bulbs two days later. No problems at all. I have alot of green popping up in my cold NJ ground, I can't wait to see the beautiful colors that will soon be exploding in my yard. I was lucky to have found this company, and you will be too!

This was my first experience with Easy To Grow Bulbs.com and from start to finish it was fabulous. Before ordering, I emailed a few questions and Kathleen returned my email within the hour. We exchanged several emails, and she helped me avoid making a few mistakes on where I had planned on planting the bulbs that I had picked out. Quick to respond, friendly and knowledgeable, Kathleen was great! My order was packed with great care and everything looks wonderful. The bulbs were huge compared to what I have seen in the big box stores or my local nurseries. The adventure packs they give out are an awesome idea and it was great to get a little surprise added to my order.

About the only bad thing that I could say about this place, is that it could potentially be really hard on your wallet. I know that I will be shopping there again and again!

I have ordered bulbs from several different online retailers, and Easy to Grow Bulbs is my FAVORITE company to buy from, by far! Here's why:
1. The planting guides on each product page are extremely helpful, especially to novice gardeners, like me.
2. In my experience, the bulbs have always arrived promptly and have been carefully packaged.
3. Their customer service is outstanding! Friendly, knowledgeable, and always helpful. I forgot to include a note when ordering that I wanted my bulbs shipped ahead of the regular schedule so I could start them indoors (it's cold in Zone 3!!) so I emailed customer service. I received a response the same day! From an actual person! Now that's service.
4. The biggest reason I am a return customer at Easy to Grow, though, is because of the quality of their product. I have ordered a wide variety of different plants from them, from paperwhites and amaryllis to begonias and ranunculus, and I am continually impressed with the results produced by their bulbs.
In other words, I can't recommend this company highly enough.
Thanks!!!

My story is too long too explain, but my experience with Easy to Grow Bulbs has been SO positive that I just had to share! I experienced a problem with the shipping of an order to North Carolina. It was a FED EX problem, not theirs, but they happily resent an order and did not charge me. Their email and phone communications were extremely pleasant and prompt. My tiny, insignificant order was treated as though it were the largest order they's ever received. Kathleen is an angel!
The quality of the bulbs is exceptional and the lovely tradition of Christmas paperwhites for our family now has even more meaning thanks to this wonderfully compassionate company.
I look forward to buying from them for many years.

I am very impressed with this company's products and customer service. The bulbs I ordered shipped promptly and were in good condition. The paperwhites were huge - twice the size of the bulbs I have bought at my local garden center. I also appreciated the "adventure pack" of extra bulbs sent with my order.

The daylily mix I bought was accidentally shipped with one missing daylily. Customer service immediately replied to my email and told me to choose any daylily from their site to send as a replacement (despite the fact that I had purchased an inexpensive random mix). I will definitely be placing many orders with Easy to Grow Bulbs in the future!

I recently put in an order with this company for a number of spring-flowering bulbs and bare roots. When I received the order (which was very fast), I was so impressed with the size and condition of both bulbs and roots. I have been ordering fall plantings for years, so I have a sense for what is typical. This order really exceeded my expectations on all counts. The peonies were especially amazing. I've never seen a bare root peony as big as the Early Scout they sent. Even though the other peonies were slightly smaller than this attractive monster, they were also bigger than anything I've bought from other vendors. I also very much appreciated the extras – healthy and interesting corms. Another plus - their customer support is friendly and helpful! I’m already planning my next order.

Simply Super services! Outstanding!

We placed an order in the 2nd week of August. Our order was acknowledged within a day we placed the order. A prospective shipment date was assigned to be Sept. 22, 2008. And there we go! The bulbs and other items were shipped exactly on September 22 (and we were also informed about the shipment). We received the order on Sept. 26, 2008. No bloopers: all bulbs were there (with extremely clear planting instructions), the sizes of the Trumpet Lily bulbs were spectacular. The bulbs appeared to be quite firm and healthy.

Finally, it must be mentioned that although the products were of top qualities, the prices were not. From now on, whenever we need to order something, we will order it from EasytoGrow (if they carry the product).


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.

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.

I've relentlessly picked Kathleen's brain on other bulbs that might perform well here in the Caribbean, and her replies have been speedy, informative, enthusiastic and linked to photos and detailed descriptions on their fantastic website.

It seems clear that this company is dedicated to extraordinary customer service. They have consistently taken the time (and money) to respond personally to a very small customer like me. Naturally, I've just ordered more bulbs based on their recommendations, and have every confidence in this company.

Things can always go wrong in business, but I feel certain that if something does, Easy To Grow Bulbs will do it's utmost to make it right. I only wish I had a bigger garden.

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!
