Shipping was just as fast with the second batch. Out of the two orders, more than 75% of the spider lilies bulbs bloomed this fall and I am enjoying many of the flowers still this week. However, I did irrigate them in early September to trigger bloom. Since they can sometime skip a year when planted, It was a pleasant surprise. The flowers are lovely. I would recommend this company to anyone that wants to buy Lycoris aurea or Lycoris radiata. |

My husband and I enjoyed the owner's book, The Bulb Hunter, and appreciate Southern Bulb Company's offering fine-quality, heirloom bulbs. |

It arrived within 2-3 days in great condition. It was the first of only a few of several crinum bulbs I've planted this season. |

They have hard to find heirloom bulbs for Texas. I will order from them again. The were out of the Tiger Lily. They are very proactive and professional in their business. Delivery was fast. Customer service is great. |

Bulbs still had some of the green foilage from the growing season so it doesn't get much fresher than that. All bulbs were healthy and prices for these bulbs were cheaper than I've seen elsewhere. Shipping was prompt and reasonably priced. |
Positive | SowthEfrikan (3 reviews) | On Dec 2, 2009, SowthEfrikan Sulphur Springs, TX wrote: Last year I placed an order with Southern Bulb Company for daffs and tulips. The daffs performed beautifully, but the Texas Tulips failed. I received an unsolicited email from the company asking how the bulbs had performed, so responded with the Texas Tulips failure. They said they would send replacements and that it might take several months, and I didn't hear from them again. I forgot all about it. This morning a surprise package arrived from Southern Bulb Company. It contained replacement Texas Tulips bulbs, and numerous bulbs of five other varieties, all beautifully packaged. I'm so delighted with their service. There was a note saying that they have trouble with gophers destroying their stock, so this kindness is exceptional. I can't recommend Southern Bulbs Company highly enough and will be planting just as soon as the rain stops. |

They were advertised as 3 bulbs per pot, but all three were bursting open with 15-18 bulbs! I had the first bloom yesterday - beautiful! The bulbs arrived less than a week after ordering, in great condition. |

Positive | Debndal (1 review) | On Apr 2, 2007, Debndal Coppell, TX (Zone 8a) wrote: I have placed 3 orders with Southern Bulb. Most of the bulbs I purchased bloomed their first season, which was a surprise as I expected to have to wait a year to see results. The bulbs are packaged nicely, and I received an email for each shipment to let me know when to expect it. I have emailed the company a few of times with questions and have always gotten a personal reply to my questions with complete answers. I am so impressed with the quality of the product and the quality of customer service from these young folks. I recommend them highly. |

I started by reading about the company and following the company through the Internet, newspapers and magazines. I even emailed the company directly and was so pleased with the knowledgeable, friendly response I received. They truly seem to be interested in quality heirloom bulbs. I am also pleased they are so interested in preserving southern bulbs. Last Fall, I purchased some of their bulbs and they are performing beautifully. They appeared to be of remarkable quality and are already showing. I cannot wait to see the blooms and how they multiply. I have told everyone I know they should try Southern Bulbs and how to reach them. I am positive you will not be disappointed. |
