Regular customer at old house gardens. Bought lucky star gladiolus that I planted in a pot and they rotted. Owner would not work with me in refunding any of my money even though their website states guarantee. She told me no guarantee for bulbs grown in pots. It is not written anywhere. I have grown abyssinian gladiolus for over 1o years in pots. Buyer beware
Highly recommended. Their bulbs are always high quality, well worth the price (I've tried various other mail-order bulb stores, and OHG is far superior). The bulbs always arrive well packed and healthy, and with detailed, useful planting information. I've had their tulips for several years now and they rebloom beautifully, year in and year out: heirlooms are definitely more robust than modern tulips! Their lilies are also spectacular. And I love that they are preserving beautiful, historic heirloom varieties. It makes for a garden that is both beautiful and interesting.
My dahlias from them were incredible last year (my first time trying dahlias). I've ordered tulips in the past too, and they were perfect. I felt really informed for how to plant and care for them - thorough! Highly recommend them!
Im so excited to see so many daffodils come up this spring from my 2023 plantings. I’ll add photos once they bloom. Lots coming up and I ordered several stunning varieties from them. 3-29-24 I have blooms galore from my Fall 2023 plantings. I just love checking the garden each day to see what’s going to bloom next.
I purchased some Princess Irene tulips from here and from some other bulk site to compare. The ones from Old House Gardens not only bloomed a week earlier and are almost twice the height as the others, but each bulb produced at least 2 blooms! One even has 4! I also bought 2 peonies that are already a good size for being in their first year. I'm definitely shopping here again!
