FALL PLANTING FOR FALL BLOOMING. These bulbs will SHIP ~ 9-1 regardless of your winter hardiness zone, and the order will include shipping charges.

PRE-COOLED BULBS FOR SOUTHERN AND TEMPERATE LANDSCAPES For those of you who live in areas where the absence of cold winters affects the performance of your spring flowering bulbs, the ones shown here may be good choices for your garden. These are the same bulbs that we'll ship to everyone else, except that these will be placed in the cooler in September when they arrive here in Virginia and will stay there until they're ready to plant about Dec. 15th or Jan. 15th, depending on whether you have some winter cold or no winter cold at all. If you order these, you must promise to plant them just as soon as you receive them because the effect of the pre-chilling diminishes with each day they are out of the cooler. To be sure they arrive in good time, there will also be an extra shipping charge for 2nd Day Air, which can't be determined until after weighing and shipping and will be billed after shipment. Also, if you live where you DO receive winter temperatures, please understand that these bulbs either need to be in the ground in enough time to make roots before the ground freezes OR they need to be grown in pots where the pots are NOT exposed to extreme temperatures!
