Van Bourgondien & Sons. criminal mail order company
Comments (1)I order quite a bit from them and have never had any problems. If you're not happy with the time frame, call them and tell them you want your money back. They will give it back to you. Have you tried this first before posting this? Or did you just get online and trash them before even trying to resolve the problem?...See MoreVan Bourgondien & sons
Comments (1)I have been ordering from VB Wholesale for years. I have always been pleased with the quaity of the bulbs and I always order enough to get the $50.00 discount myself. I have had some mismarked bulbs but no big deal really as I just use them for mass effect and didn't use markers anyway except on my fancy orientpets and trumpet hybrids. And those I don't order at VB....See MoreExperience with Van Bourgondien bulbs?
Comments (7)If you are looking for dahlia bulbs, I have heard others who grow dahlias, recommend Swan Island Dahlias as one grower that they were happy with. I have only ordered dwarf dahlia bulbs from Brent & Becky in the past, and that worked out well. I actually waited until they went on sale 1/2 price, but the growing season was under way at that point and they did get off to a late start. I was happy with them, but I thought their selection was limited compared to Swan Island who specializes in dahlia bulbs. Not sure if they are rated at Garden Watchdog.

Comments (16)Glad this got bumped to the top again. I thought maybe someone would want to hear how my Costco purchase has gone. I bought 3 TP's from Costco the end of Feb and planted them together in a big pot kept in garage. I was a little confused about Japanese vs Chinese in my earlier post - the Costco tree peonies were Chinese - don't know what Van B sells. I planted out the Cinnabar Rampart (Zhu Sha Lei) about 1 week ago. When I took it out of the pot it had begun developing new roots - good sign. It had begun to leaf out and looks quite healthy. The nice folks at A&D Peonies in WA had told me to plant it before it leafed out if I could - so tried to hurry to get it in the ground. Now its covered with a box as the snow is falling and not expected to quit till tomorrow. My favorite nursery told me that peony leaves would freeze on the tips and look uglier than normal if they weren't covered so my yard looks like a warehouse with boxes everywhere on the herbaceous peonies. The 2 not planted yet are P. Suffruticosa Hu's Red and Paeonia ostii White Phoenix. The P. ostii was a lot later than the suffruticosa's in developing leaf buds and its not as healthy a plant - the stems appear to be largely dead and the new growth is coming from the bottom and from the rootstock. There is a lot of conflicting information on the internet about P. ostii - some say its the easiest to grow, others say its susceptible to diseases and a weak plant. But the picture was pretty! Now I'm waiting for the snow to melt so I can plant out the other 2....See Morealina_1
