Michigan Bulb Co?

Just wanted to know if this is a good place to order shrubs, trees, flowers, etc. The prices seem good, but I don't want to waste my money. Are there better mail order sites? Thanks

Michigan Bulb Co?
I ordered from them once, several of the plants died, did the "return" per their instructions and 20 years later still have not received credit or replacement plants.



Have had great success with:

Reply:For trees/shrubs, I like MUSSER FOREST located in PA. Plants come bareroot, though. I've had good luck with their plants with exception of 5 Service Berry trees which did not survive. Prices are reasonable. Report It
Reply:They have a good reputation. I have purchased from them in the past and was pleased.
Reply:If your looking for a bargain go some place else. They sell bulbs at a fabulous price. They don't tell you they are number 1 or even number 2 bulbs. The bulbs they sell are the bulbs other growers either throw away or keep growing for a few more years. All if not most of their plants are small. I spent a lot of money ordering items from them and they all died. They even shipped a replacement order that was already dead by the time I got it. Ask around or see what you get for answers from yahoo before spending your hard earned cash. I have had great results from Brecks Bulbs as they are shipped directly from Dutch Farms. I would recommend them to any one. Go online to see their catalogue
Reply:for high quality bulbs direct from amsterdam, try:



http://www.colorblends.com/index.php -- fall bulbs only



Also, look at White Flower Farm--they have been in business for years--top quality and pricey, but you can dream here.



I can also recommend Park Seed and Wayside Gardens--as mentioned in other posts, your local garden center is the best place to purchase annuals, perennials and shrubs.



Be careful at the big box stores, as you'll find plants with limited root systems; just check before buying.
Reply:I have ordered from them and Guerney's the price is right

but plants are small.



I have ordered from this company: www.americanmeadows.com and was very pleased with size and packaging



Check out Costco too they have a bunch of bulbs right now selling for $14.99
Reply:I was never really pleased with my purchases from them. I have found it much more appealing to buy from a local garden store or even Home Depot

(my own experience with Michigan Bulb was NOT good)
Reply:You get what you pay for. a $1.99 plant is just that, a tiny plant barely rooted. Bulbs are also small. If you want something you can grow on and eventually have a nice size plant, and have lots of time and patience to wait for it, and don't want to pay much, that might be your place.



However, there are so many many more good places to buy plants that are what they are advertised that I would not mess with Michigan Bulb.



Try Van Bourgedein, Gurney, Henry Field, or if you want to get really good plants--but they are expensive--White Flower Farm or Wayside Gardens, or or Plant Delights. There are also many more in between. Just search for the plants you want on your internet search and come up with thousands of catalogs. All these are good:
