My requested delivery date for my 2015 caladium bulb order needed to be changed due to upcoming travel. I was so pleased with the courteous and prompt response to my request. As busy as they were, I got a phone call back, setting the ship date to April 6th. This is a great company and you can rely on Caladium Bulbs 4 Less for great product, fair prices, and courteous and professional treatment. Thanks, guys!
Site was able to provide a daffodil cultivar (Kaydee) that had disappeared from my usual bulb sites. Bravo, Living Gardens. They seem to have a good quantity of bulbs to offer. Will be checking them out henceforth.
I received a wonderful order of cannas last fall that have already broken dormancy. Not only were the rhizomes large, but the girth of the plants was impressive too. I bought 5 and received a 6th one free. They also sell brugs. Alice Harris has hybridized many of the cannas and brugs herself. I don't have the room for a large order but I have my eye on another canna and perhaps a brug. Well worth my money.
We keep growing, because ATP is where all the excitement is these days! Check out these numbers from last week:
