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. Orders placed now will be fulfilled beginning March 2012.

SHIPPING BEGINS MARCH 1, 2012: ORDER NOW to reserve your bulbs.

OUR BULBS ARE FRESH FROM THE HARVEST. Our domestic stock is Fall and Winter harvested from the 2011 crop, and never frozen. Bulbs and plants will arrive to you precooled. These plants should be planted promptly OR kept cold prior to planting, as they will break dormancy as soon as they are subjected to warm temperature. Some of our newer items and also our patented plants are sourced freshly-dug from Holland and will also be precooled and ready to grow as temperatures rise.

WHEN ARE ORDERS SHIPPED? Anything ordered at this time will be shipped between March 1 and early April, 2012. In general, orders are shipped in the seequence received, but you may request your timing preferences in the “comments” field of your online order form, and we will work with you.

WHEN SHOULD BULBS BE PLANTED? Regardless of when they are purchased, we recommend planting as soon as you receive the bulbs. Prolonged storage of bulbs and plants requires particular conditions, which the average gardener may not be capable of providing. Prolonged storage by the customer will invalidate our guarantee. These plants are all Winter-hardy (USDA zones 5-9) and can survive all year in the garden as long as there are no rodent problems or drainage problems.

Our Size Grades

We specify for each product the bulb size or grade. That is more than some companies will venture to do, thus you are assured of getting the size (or larger) that you ordered. 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?

Most Spring shipping happens between March 1 and April 1, 2012. Generally orders are delivered in the sequence received, but you may request certain timing by using the "comments" field of your online order form. You many also contact us by phone or email to set up a shipping time that best suits you. Shipping after April 1, may be possible, depending upon the condition of the bulbs. Products remaining on our website after April 1 have been inspected for quality or have been freshly removed from storage to insure performance qualities.
