Comments regarding Van Engelen, Inc.

I ordered over 100 assorted spring and summer flowering bulbs in Nov. from Van Engelen end of season specials. The bulbs arrived in just 5 days packed to withstand a tornado. The bulbs were big fresh and healthy and the prices were so good I ordered an additional 300 lily bulbs which came in the same condition and time frame. I can't wait to see them bloom. I will order again next year.

I’ve ordered several times from Van Engelen. Good experience on all occasions. If you’re looking to buy bulbs in quantity it’s a great. I wish I had caught their fall sale before it was too late in my zone. Maybe next year.

I was very pleased with last year's order from Van Engelen. The grape hyacincths were just fantastic! I was promptly given credit for the Eremus that never came up (zone problems they said) and I eagerly placed another large order last fall. I am confident that my bulbs will make a great show. Can't wait!

I have ordered from this company in bulk two years in a row. Even last year, when I was late ordering, they made replacements happily. The Cutomer Service is outstanding. Pleasant, and easy to reach. This is the place for bulk orders and no hassle, you choose, replacement orders.

Ordered loads of bulbs last year, which were all terrific quality, top size. Only complaint: the descriptions in the catalog didn't really match some of the bulbs when they did bloom. Still, the back yard looks beautiful, so I can't complain!

Absolutely the best and cheapest source for quantity orders.

This is my third year of ordering from this company. The prices are great and the quality of the bulbs cannot be matched anywhere. I had only one disappointment and that was with paperwhites. I ordered late and think I received the bottom of the barrel. The staff also called me personally when there was a mix-up on an order. Good company.

My results were better [than Van Bourgondien] with the bulbs I ordered from Van Engelen

This is the best place in the US to get your spring blooming bulbs! Their quality is excellent, and they are reliable. I have ordered over 1500 bulbs from them in the past two years, and have not been dissatisfied. With prices like theirs, you can plant bulbs as if they were annuals, and not feel guilty ripping them up in the late spring to make way for other plants. Or you can do what I did, and put them in your perennial garden, and have fields of flowers as early as March. I would recommend this company to everyone. Only one drawback is that they don't list any fall flowering bulbs.

I've ordered from Van Engelen for 6 years. I've found the quality so superb and consistent that I've set up a bulb buying group called the `Big Bulb Buy'. This year we had 15 people participate and together we ordered 3400 bulbs for only $1100…This is the best source I've found and believe me, I've done a lot of looking.

This is the place to go for wholesale bulbs. The prices are great and the quality outstanding, but you have to get large quantities. Especially great are the lilies - of these you only have to get 5 at a time.

I too have had very good results from this supplier. The species tulip collection is outstanding.

I have been very happy with Van Engelen. They've got the lowest prices and everything came up. I ordered first in the fall of 1994 and the Muscari started to come up during the warm December. The deer mowed them down in Dec and also when they tried to come up in March. I fenced them off and they came up yet again and bloomed.

I have received fabulous bulbs from Van Engelen. All healthy, properly marked & packaged. My only complaint is that they have not sent me another catalog since my initial order. I assumed that they kept a mailing list, but maybe not.

I have bought from Van Engelen for 35 years. They've been the best all along, and they will continue to be one of my two preferred sources for bulbs...
