All bulbs are shipped from Holland and are top quality, hardy, easy care and expected to return year after year when grown in full or part sun in well-drained locations. Prices are three bulbs for $5 or a baker’s dozen (13) for $20.

Bulbs may also be ordered before Sept. 15 for pick-up at the festival.
