Shipping Information Help Center
*SHIPPING UPDATE* - We're STILL shipping and you'll receive your order in time to plant yet this season! If you can dig a hole, you can still plant a bulb regardless of the climate or temperature outside. Our team is working extremely hard to process and ship all orders current and new. Please be mindful that some are slightly slower to ship due to supplier transit delays, but, we're working diligently to do everything we can to guarantee that your order will ship out as soon as possible. Once your order leaves our facility you will receive an email with tracking information. We appreciate your patience and thank you for your business and continued support!

We typically begin accepting pre-orders for fall planted items in early June. Once our products are received from Holland and our warehouse is reset for the fall shipping season (approximately mid-September), we begin shipping these fall bulbs, starting with the preorders. Once our warehouse has fulfilled all of our preorders, we begin shipping current orders within a 7-10 business day turnaround time. Indoor growing items (such as amaryllis) begin shipping in early November.
If you need your bulbs shipped earlier or later than listed above please contact customer service at 1-800-689-2852. 1-day and 2-day air delivery services are available as well; please contact us for a price quote based on your order and location. If you need your bulbs by a specific date you must let us know at least 5 business days in advance for standard shipping.
We cannot guarantee the shipment of fall bulbs before September 18 in exception to bearded iris. We do have wedding tulips available for shipping starting in mid-August; please contact us for more information.
