: 75% of what I ordered from Michigan Bulb was either dead on arrival or soon thereafter. They make it almost impossible to get your money back, just agree to send you more junk to replace the first junk and you have to pay additional shipping!
: I agree. I remember as a kid my dad let me and my sister order our own flowers for our own flower garden. We looked through Mich Bulb and ordered our stuff.
I can clearly remember going "Ew! Yuck! What's this"?
They were all a bunch of dried of icky crap.
Nasty.
Well, just to rekindle old memories I ordered from them again, and same thing. Dried up icky stuff.
Barely living on its last root. It was too much trouble to return, so my "final answer" is that I'll just never order from them again!! And PS: Once you do order from them you will get a never ending supply of sweepstakes junk mail! OMG - It's the worst flow of junk mail you'll ever receive. Comes in heaps!
How do they survive! I guess off of suckers like us who "give em a chance!"
kathy you are so right! i got junk bulbs.. size of peas,, now i am inundated with junk mail.. i am really unhappy with them.. it is a scheme to get gadeners hooked that is all,, very inferior plants etc etc gini
I was pleasantly surprised. My hollyhoc, carnations, blazing stars looked bad on delivery but ended up spectacular. Much mulching, watering, and raised bed helped. Yep, tons of junk mail followed. Surpringly, Mich bulb did better than Spring Hill. However SHill's delivery was later in the summer - not a good time for planting. For the price, I'll probably try Mbulb one more time. Don't overlook ordering fm QVC. Often SHill has better deals off QVC than in catalog. bette
