Delivery time
To give you clarity on when to expect your order, orders are scheduled in shipping blocks.
When you place your order you can choose a desired shipping period.
It is possible to order flower bulbs from the beginning of February. Not all summer-flowering bulbs and tubers are hardy, for example Dahlia and Begonia. We recommend not planting these crops outside before the danger of (night-time) frost has passed.
Of course, you can already propagate these crops indoors, so they will flower earlier.
Shipping is divided into periods of 2 weeks, this gives you the option to indicate your preferred shipping time.
On the day of dispatch, we assemble your order with care. The bulbs are not pre-packed in a warehouse, but are kept under the right conditions in wooden crates. The packaging for your order is personalised and filled by hand. Perhaps more labour-intensive, but this ensures better quality control.
For orders from countries with a prolonged winter, it is recommended to choose a later shipping period due to risk of frost damage to the bulbs during shipment.
Exceptions:
Orders consisting solely of tools, seeds or other garden supplies will be processed with priority.
When to plant flower bulbs?
All bulbs that are not ready for planting yet, should be kept dry in opened packaging at room temperature until planting time.
However, hardy and less frost-prone bulb and tubers can be planted directly in the garden, weather permitting. Examples include: Allium, Bletilla, Convallaria, Crocosmia, Lilium, Polygonatum and Trillium.
