Your Discount Source for specialty fragrant Lily Bulbs
The Lily Pad Bulb Farm
Olympia, Washington since 1985 - serving the contiguous United States and Alaska. We supply BIG, healthy, and productive bulbs, suitable for outdoor-growing in temperate zones, USDA 4-9, with a definite change of season.
Welcome to our site! We have some very interesting things online now. It is now the ideal time to order your Lily Bulbs, Daylilies, Peony roots, and Poppy starts for Fall planting. You may notice our Fall 2010 listing is more restricted than our Winter/Spring listing The current offerings are the things we feel confident we can dig and process in time for Fall planting before the ground freezes in certain regions of the U.S. Fall planting is preferred by many, in order to get roots and bulbs better rooted and established before the next growing season.
WHEN WILL ORDERS BE SHIPPED? Anything ordered at this time will be available for shipping by mid-October, 2010. Our harvest in the Pacific Northwest is always scheduled late, in order to get maximum bulb and root development for best performance in your garden. Thus, our Lily bulbs tend to be bigger than found in most commercial supply lines. We can ship later than mid October if you so indicate in the "comments" field of your online order form. We can also ship somewhat earlier if your order only involves Daylilies and Peonies (which are harvested in September).
Please visit our website again in early January, 2011, when our Spring availability will be online for ordering. We will have a very full line of products at that time, including some items, never yet offered.

Our Size Grades
Lily bulbs are measured by their circumference, ie: a 18/20cm. bulb would measure 18 to 20 centimeters around. Daylily roots are measured in number of "fans" and Peony roots in number of eyes. The more eyes or fans, the bigger the roots. For tree peonies, we use age as the size grade, ie: one-year, two-year, three-year, and so forth.
In general the bigger or older the size grade the more readily the plants get established and the sooner and more heavily they bloom.
Pricing
Pricing on our website is per plant or bulb. Whenever supply permits, we also list 3-pack pricing and in some cases 10-pack pricing. We cannot mix or split our multi-packs for this pricing. Many bulk offers and combos can be found on our web site. Contact us for quotes on larger quantities.
When are bulbs shipped?
Fall Shipping begins October 2009. Lily bulbs are typically not mature until mid-October, so some orders will be held until completion of the harvest. Later ordering and shipping are available until January, 2010, at which point our site will undergorevisions for spring ordering and shipping.
When are credit cards processed?
Credit cards will be processed prior to shipping time (soon after your order is submitted) to reserve your bulbs and avoid last minute processing delays. All online orders are immediately followed by automatic email confirmation. If you do not receive this, please contact us to verify the status of your order.
To change your order
If you wish to add to an existing order, there is no need to submit another order. Simply email us and request the items you want to add to your prior order. We will re-caculate charges. Usually this saves you money in the final analysis. If you wish to diminish your order or cancel the order, you will be responsible for any processing fees incurred to reverse the transaction. That is usually a nominal ammount. Please give us ample notice if you wish to cancel.
