Ordered 600 tulip bulbs. Many were rotten and small. They requested photos which I sent. Asked again (-stall tactic) Ultimately gave me a $2.30 credit. They can plant their credit where the sun doesn't shine.

I won't be ordering from them again.

Their 100% grow guarantee is 100% BS!

Very unhappy with Hollander Bulbs. I bought 4 bulbs as Christmas presents. I tried to reach out to customer service no answer. One of the bulbs rotted in the package and three were almost full grown before Christmas. Worse customer service ever.

I placed three orders with this company for holiday gifts this year. So far only one recipient has received the delivery, so I will do further reviews later. But, in this case, I had sent a single "waxed" bulb in a "sweater" (a knitted covering). The website explains that the waxed bulb contains its own nutrients and water and needs no attention to grow into an amaryllis flower except some sunlight. However, when the recipient got the the bulb (as depicted on line) it apparently came with generic instructions that the company sends with their regular bulbs meant to be planted, informing the recipient to immediately plant the bulbs. There is no explanation about the bulb not needing additional care except sunlight. This was most confusing to the recipient, who is not in a situation to take care of a regular bulb with soil and water, and I'm just glad I intercepted the situation so that I could explain what to do. I really think the company should have separate instructions for waxed bulbs; otherwise recipients will be potting unnecessarily. I don't know yet whether the bulb will bloom as promised. More on that in a few weeks time.
Meanwhile, I wrote the other two recipients about this problem prior to their deliveries, thus spoiling the "surprise" element of the gift-giving.
Post-Edit Comment: I gave these bulbs as party favors at a small event and sent some to folks in rehab. The recipients were delighted. I kept one bulb myself to see how it worked out. It's only a week into the sunshine but the bulb is definitely sprouting - up about 3" now, so it seems to be doing its thing very nicely. The company wrote to tell me they had "run out" of the correct instructions and I appreciate hearing from them. Nonetheless the insertion of the incorrect instructions defeated the purpose of getting the waxed bulbs, which was to require no labor on the part of the recipients, some of whom as mentioned are in rehab etc. Instead, the instructions they inserted would have had people digging holes in pots and "planting" the waxed bulbs. Fortunately, I got to them in time to thwart that problem.

This company will charge your card and NEVER send you anything!! I ordered the Daffodils they advertise in the late summer, with early fall delivery. It is now December and I didn't receive them. When I called they said I should have complained sooner. They have 88% one star reviews. Do Not order from them they are scammers!!

I ordered over $700 worth of beautiful bulbs to plant in the fall and a few days later in the middle of summer here came the package. I stored it as was told as you don’t put bulbs in the ground in summer when I opened the box they had been improperly packaged no ventilation they melted together. Everything was rotten and I called to talk to him about it and they told me that they were summer crops. No, they grow in the summer. You plant them in the spring, They refuse to give me a refund or a new package of everything I’d purchase so I called my credit card company and told him how everything had arrived and two days prior Breck’s Bulbs had arrived for planting so I am completely dissatisfied and it looks like I’m gonna have to go through the Better Business Bureau to get them to satisfy the money or the merchandise and to be honest I would never do business with them again they sent me all their trash from the end of the year

SO deceiving. They've got so much stuff online...much more than so many nurseries, and prices are good! Too good to be true, that is. I was excited and I figured I'd order just about everything from them! This was the absolute worst experience I have had with an online nursery, and I ordered from 3 nurseries this year, and wish I would have just stuck with the other two. Holland Bulb Farms just doesn't care. Online it says bulbs ship starting 10/1. My order contained no perennials, so no reason for big a hold up. My order was sent A FULL MONTH after I ordered it, despite reaching out via email and requesting the earliest date possible, and it was only bulbs. I didn't hear back after a week, so I emailed again. NOTHING. It took another week to get to me because they were too cheap to send it any way other than USPS s-l-o-w rate! One set of bulbs was missing, and another set of less common, much more expensive roots were totally shriveled up. I tried calling for help, and they re-sent me the missing item, which took another FULL WEEK because they had no urge to rush it to me, but at that point "they were sold out" of the dried up ones, so after a bit of a fight and sending photos of this garbage for verification, they finally refunded me. I've planted the remaining bulbs, but I am not putting my eggs in one basket. Being too late in the season, I couldn't get these exact rare roots anywhere else, so I am the one who lost out. They did nothing else to make it up to me. I even spoke with a manager (which was a grand effort on my part to get a hold of one) who said that they, as a company, "don't do anything additional for customers to make up for their mistakes"...probably because it happens so much?! So, I guess that they don't care that they have lost a customer!

I ordered 10 iris rhizomes. When my shipment arrived the box contained someone else's order. I notified the company. They replied that the irises I'd ordered were now out of stock and they gave me a refund. Oddly enough, Tulip World, which is owned by Holland Bulb Farms, claims to have 93 of the same iris in stock, at a much higher price however. This company seems incompetent to me and I won't order from them again.

I ordered 180.00 worth of daylillies. None of the liliies came up. I contacted the company when I recieved the order because the plants where dried out and dead when they arrived. I sent pictures and called several times. They never did anything about it. I do not like this company and I will never buy from them again. Very bad experience.

Benn successful gardener for 30 years, Holland bulb refuses to stand behind their product guarantee! Time and energy to plant tulip bulbs, more money on bulb food and animal production, followed all instructions, none of them came up, yet bulbs from other companies planted years ago still come up.

After ordering the bulbs never arrived. Fed Ex also was not cooperative, but its routine driver said he had never seen the order. Holland Bulbs refused to be helpful. We had to cancel through our credit card.

I’d give them zero star. Scammy site, should never do business with. Should have checked their reviews first. Bought 8 plants, two were dead, three were so tiny, not even grew an inch after 2.5 months. They made me wait for 8 weeks before processing advertised 100% guarantee on the dead plants. Still no refund nor replacement plants but issued me a free shipping coupon instead. A bunch of dishonest and shameless scammers. They always have huge discounted sales, but cheap for a reason, because they ship you worthless poor quality products. You only end up wasting money and energy, and get emotionally damaged in return.

Horrible! Will never order from them again! Only about 5 out of 300 Dutch master daffodeven came up and they were so tiny they were smaller than regular daffodils. A complete wast of money and time planting! Ordered about 20 daylilies and only 2 came up! No tulips bloomed and they refuse to honor their grow guarantee

Had a very large garden area in my front yard, that I ordered a specific variety of cannas for and Holland Bulb Farm sent the wrong variety. Unfortunately, I did not know they were the wrong variety, until they matured, spread and bloomed. The were not only the wrong variety, color and height, but they were UGLY. Do these look anything like lush Lucifer Dwarf Cannas? NO!! They admitted they sent the wrong variety (I sent pics for proof) and refunded the money, but now I will have to hire a crew to come in and dig up the ugly cannas and replace them with something else. Holland Bulb Farm didn't offer an apology. They are a horrible company with little quality control and even worse customer service. Please do not order from them!! Tried to upload pics and would not allow.

I bought a variety pack of bulbs for $200. I planted them the day I received them. Instead of flowers growing, I grew weeds. I have weed guard so I know it came from them. Also, instead of plants/flowers, ground cherry plants started growing. I did not order them. They gave me some credits, but I asked for a refund and now they are ignoring me. I even sent pictures.

Hello, I bought hundred dollars worth of dahlias from Holland and is supposed to be multicolors. Six plants came all same colors and they refunded me $16. Wow I will never never order from them again.!!

7 of nine cannas were balls of rotted mush. Half the callas were rotted mush.

Buyers beware, Holland Bulb Farms is a scam. I purchased and then planted multiple items from them, and none of the plants turned out to be what I ordered. Calls and attempts to contact were never returned. I now find they have long history of fraudulent sales.

I purchased 5 curcuma bulbs. All were planted at the same time on the same day the bulbs arrived. Three grew and two did not. When I reached out for replacements, I was told they could only give me store credit. Now, in order to replace, I will have to pay shipping to get my replacements and will have to wait until next year since they are out of stock. Now my garden will have to wait. I chose to buy from here because of the variety. I will not do that again. Off to the big box store to see what I can find.

Very happy with the peony bulbs I ordered last fall. All are doing well, some have even bloomed.

One of the bulbs I received was in poor condition and they replaced it.

I’d get peonies from them again

Plants suck, never grew. They put off refunding you, blame you for the problem, and then they make it seem like they are being the heroes to give you a partial refund as a coupon. “As a one time courtesy” we will blah blah blah. Terrible company.
