Product Details

The deep, rich red of Triumph Tulip ‘National Velvet’ reappears in the artfully flamed blossoms of rose-pink Tulip ‘Pretty Princess’ which has the added detail of whisper-thin white edges on its green foliage. Adding fragrance and a hint of snowy white are the flower spikes of Muscari ‘White Magic.’

A total of 39 bulbs sent in an 11" wide x 6" tall Birch wood planter with bulb pan liner, ready to begin growing on arrival.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Maybe too many bulbs in a small area

It is not doing so great compared to the other bulb arrangement that I ordered at the same time which is 28 bulbs of tulip. They are in same size pot, so I'm thinking this 39 bulbs are too many for that size of pot. These are 1/3 in height, not even bloomed at all, the leaves look like it's drying out from the tip. And both pots are exactly under the same condition. My 28 bulbs of tulips are GORGEOUS. Some flowers bloomed earlier, taller, healthier, with bigger leaves and others are just blooming, skinnier, shorter and smaller in general, so probably 28 bulbs are almost at the maximum for this size of pot, in my opinion.
I am not even sure this 39 bulbs will do anything to be honest. They started to sprout earlier than my 28 bulbs of tulips but now they seem like stop growing at all.
Very sad. I would like to ask replacement if possible, but not with this 39 bulbs since I think it's too many for the pot, and would result the same.

A Wonder!

I sent a bulb garden to our daughter and to my wife as mid-winter gifts. They were expensive at $99. But they have given all of us more than a month's worth of delight. The tulips and the grape hyacinths bloomed; and then, as I cut them down, the daffodils came. A joy! A joy in these cold, dark days. (The bulb gardens were not the Velvet Bulb Collections. They had 30+ bulbs.)

Disappointed

At Christmas I received bulbs that grew to beautiful blossoms

THese tulip bulbs have been disappointing as they only half bloom, drop over and the Bud never opens, remains a very dark color of red/black. The entire plant has proper care but has totally failed to be tulips as expected.

I am sorry to learn this bulb collection did not bloom as expected and I will be contacting you via email regarding compensation.
Sincerely,
Cathy

The bulbs in our forced bulb collections (which may include Crocus, Hyacinths, Iris, Muscari, Narcissus, and Tulips) arrive potted, with a layer of protective packaging material on top. You may discard this packing material. 

Set the pots on a sunny windowsill in a cool room. A nighttime temperature of about 50-55°F, such as is found near a window, is ideal. Water when the potting mix is dry to the touch. We recommend removing the pots from the basket or cachepot before watering. Push any Spanish Moss aside, water the pots thoroughly and let them drain before replacing in the basket. Rearrange the Moss around the leaves.

There is no need to fertilize. Please note that the growth of the bulbs will be slower in a cooler part of the house. Warmer temperatures may speed growth, but can result in weaker flowering stems. Bulbs usually begin blooming 4-5 weeks after arrival.

What you do with your bulbs after they bloom depends on your climate and your inclinations. The bulbs can't be forced to bloom indoors again, but they can be planted outdoors--if they are hardy in your area. (Most of the bulbs in our collections are winter hardy to at least Zone 4 [-30°F]. Narcissus 'Avalanche' is hardy to Zone 6 [-10°F].) Continue to water the bulbs after they bloom and keep them in a sunny window. When the threat of hard frost has passed, plant each bulb with a trowel at a depth equivalent to about three times the bulb's height. Expect 2 or more years to pass before the bulbs bloom again. In our experience, Tulips will rarely bloom again. In fact, we think caring for the bulbs after bloom and planting them out in spring is rarely worth the effort, so we prefer simply to toss the bulbs out after they've finished blooming. However, we know of customers who enjoy the process and don't mind the wait.
