I bought 14 packs of strawberry roots - that's 140 roots altogether. I planted them the day they arrived on July 17 and kept them watered. The mulch inside every bag was bone dry so that was a red flag. Not one has sprouted. Statistically speaking, at least a few should have sprouted unless they were all dead on arrival, which I suspect they were. In fact, I placed a previous order from Holland bulbs for rhubarb, some more strawberries, 8 raspberry canes and a horseradish. Not one thing I've purchased from this company has sprouted so, I'm done. No more. The prices may be attractive, but when you realize that you're buying dead stock for cheap, it's less attractive. The company offered me a credit for the dead stock. For what? To buy more dead stock? No thanks.

I had a good experience twice about 6 years ago so 5 times over the past few years I decide to give them the benifit of doubt. Unfortunately not a single time was a good experience. The company has gone down hill. Terrible quality bulbs and plants, bad shipping times - awful customer service, i- I feel this company wont be around long. The hassle was exhausting each time and who has time for that. I cant invest anymore money in hoping for improvement on their end Replying to HB comment. Thats a bold lie. Absolutely impossible you cant find me in your system, especially after the last massive error you made in my order. You know, when you waited until the end of planting season to send me my $150+ summer order, which came dead, like the previous 2 orders. I think youve been exposed so many times for bad business practices , lying and taking people's money I dont see how youre in business.

I do not plan to use Holland Bulbs anymore. I have tried them for a few years now. I thought my first order was just an honest mistake. I received many incorrect dahlias. Mostly were yellow if incorrect. I ordered again and received many yellows. I was refunded or credited on both but it does not cover the effort and lack of growth in my garden of the correct color. I am working on A pink and white garden. These are awful in there but stunning by themselves. Last straw was this years order. A Wittem dahlia and mom’s special dinnerplate. The Wittem came up white but incorrect variety. Yellow center. Not a ball. The dinnerplate was, you guessed it- a yellow variety again! I do not recommend unless you’re looking to create a yellow dahlia garden. No credit can compensate for the effort and inconvenience caused. Very frustrating.

Initial order received a daylily in terrible condition. I took pictures and emailed. They sent a replacement also in terrible condition. They told me to plant it anyway. It failed to thrive. I sent a complaint email which was ignored. I next called their 800 number and got the run-around. When I persisted, they agreed to a refund after initially only offering me a slight store credit. Bad!!!! Never will do business with them again.

Receive great plants. Website easy to use.

A friend kindly sent Dahlia tubers for my birthday. Not being a Dahlia gardener she did not know that sending Dahlia tubers in August to Michigan means no flowers and no tuber production. Anyhow what arrived was really bad. One bag had all broken necks, no chance of a single shoot being produced, the other bags were full of broken tubers with no crowns or necks. Really bad product with no chance of a good outcome Customer service were pretty unrepentant

I received two shipments primarily containing dahlias, and almost all the tubers have long shoots. This means I have no choice but to plant them now, in the middle of a hot Texas summer, instead of waiting until early spring. I will never buy from this supplier again!

NOT impressed. The lilac shrub I bought was fine, that's why the 2 stars, but the rest of the order either didn't sprout and the ones that did were the wrong plants. I'm not an expert, I'd say I am very experienced. I was really looking forward to the Ranunculus, but sadly something else was in the bags marked 'ranunculus', I have no idea what they are, but sure not ranunculus. Nothing else came up, and it's not me nor the soil, I have plenty of other plants, a huge variety, all doing fine. I sent a photo of the wrong plant/flower to them and never heard back on what it could be. And their "100% guarantee" is NOT guaranteed! VERY disappointed.
