WHY CHOOSE BLOMS?

As with everything else in gardening it is important to start with the best planting stock available. The size and condition of the bulbs you plant will more than anything determine the flowers you get. Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations. Many of the bargain bulb offers you see are of inferior quality, incorrectly named, undersized and often diseased. You invest time and money in your garden, give yourself a head start by buying the best bulbs you can find.

So why choose Bloms Bulbs?

It’s not really something we can answer in a single sentence, however you may be interested to learn that…

Certainly many of our competitors offer good stuff, but on the ground of our many years experience in growing bulbs, we take the liberty of pointing out, that it is not possible to send out first quality stuff, or even a good article, at the mock price at which bulbs are often offered. We hope this hint may protect many flowerlovers from disappointment.

Walter Blom, 1913

You may have seen bulbs offered elsewhere at very low prices. But a good bulb cannot be grown, lifted, graded and packed for next to nothing. The difference often becomes clear the following spring, sometimes painfully so. We remain committed to doing things properly, and to providing bulbs that are not only beautiful but reliable.

THE SAME STOCK WE SHOW

The bulbs I send you are the same stocks that I am growing for the Chelsea Flower Show. Throughout our history, we have never offered a sale. Doing this we feel would betray those who place their orders early.

FROM THE NURSERY

Through the season we write to our customers most weeks, about what is happening here and what is worth doing in the garden. As regular readers of these emails will know, I often quote that the garden waits for no one.
