Quality. It speaks for itself. 

We aim to produce and supply a bulb of the highest possible standard that will perform for you. Bulb size is important. Small bulbs will flower...but with a smaller stem, a lower bud count and possibly a smaller flower. For example, a jonquil that is 12cm around the outside of the bulb should flower producing a single stem with 4 or 5 florets. A jonquil that is 20mm around the bulb, should produce multiple stems, with up to 20 florets per stem....our aim is to supply the big ones!

We would rather not supply a product if we feel it is not going to perform for you. Please always remember plants and bulbs are living...and as such, things can go wrong! We endeavour to always communicate should there be any issues with an order, prior to dispatching. This may be via email, text message or phone call. 

Dispatch

Currently we dispatch on the first 3 days of the week, with spring flowering bulb orders being sent from the 2nd week of February, on a first come, first served basis. Those that are in the Eastern states, with larger orders, may be contacted regarding courier options as opposed to Australia Post. All other orders will be sent via Australia Post. Should your order need to be packed into multiple boxes, we will contact you regarding freight options and costing.

There will be an initial backlog of orders, that will need to be worked through, please be patient. We will contact you if there are any stock issues as soon as it apparent.
