I want to plant a bulb garden this autumn. Where is the best place to purchase flower bulbs?
You can get them at any garden store - Home Depot, Lowes, etc. or you can buy them online from places like the Michigan Bulb Company. If you know someone who has a nice garden, maybe they can give you some bulbs, since they need to be thinned out occasionally. My mom grows KILLER red %26amp; yellow tulips %26amp; she gave me a basket full of her bulbs. I can wait till spring to see how they look!
Reply:There are a lot of places online you can order from or you can check your local nursery, home depot, lowes, etc
Reply:I find Garden Express one of the best suppliers of most bulbs. Reasonable too. Prompt delivery always and all bulbs arrive in excellent condition. At present I am enjoying many and varied flowers from bulbs planted this year.
Reply:I believe you shouldn't buy bulbs unless you can see them. That means no mail order because you're buying based on what their catalog says. You may get small bulbs and they may come too late or early. If there's a mistake in your order it's too late to resolve it.





I think it's much better to go to a good lawn %26amp; garden center and buy them there. Usually they carry different grades of bulbs from very large, that you can usually buy individually, to the medium and smaller grades which usually come in packages of various quantities. Also never buy a bulb that smells rotten or that is soft.
Reply:If you want to get extremely large bulbs you can go to Dutch Bulbs, White Flower Farm, Brent and Becky's Bulbs. There are so many online places to buy bulbs. Look them up.
Reply:Ebay from Rarebulbs.com they are cheap, great quality, and fast shipping. And they are always quick to answer any questions on planting guides etc.
Reply:The local garden supply store.
Reply:Just about every store at this time of year, including Wal-Mart sells bulbs for planting.
