🚚 Important Shipping Info

Howdy bulb lovers,

All bulb orders are pre-orders (New orders placed today are expected to ship mid to late May)... We’re not pulling these off a shelf. We grow them, dig them, cure them, sort them, count them, then pack them up and send them out. Believe it or not, since our Spring bulb season went live (January 31) we’ve had close to 20,000 pre-orders fly in... holey moley! that’s got to be a world record.

We’re well into dispatch now and making solid progress through the pre-order queue (over 17,000 have already been delivered... woop woop!)

Because we’ve had a big whack of Spring orders on the go, dispatch is rolling through April and into May. If your order includes later-harvest varieties, it may head out a little later so everything can travel together in good nick, but you can keep track of your pre-order times below...

📦 Current Progress

As of 4/5/26

📦 A few handy notes

We’ve been flat out on the farm harvesting, curing, sorting, grading, counting, and packing your bulbs. It’s a big behind-the-scenes job, but it means your goodies turn up in top condition and ready to thrive.

During dispatch season we send 300+ orders a day, mostly in the order received. The main thing that can affect timing is variety readiness, as some bulbs are ready earlier than others.

If your order only contains non-bulb items, such as fertiliser, gloves, soap or other garden goodies, please flick us an email so we can get them out sooner (otherwise it may end up in the pre-order queue)

💌 From the farm

Thanks so much for your patience while we work through the Spring rush. There’s a mountain of harvesting, curing, sorting, grading, counting and packing behind every order, and we’re cracking through them as quickly as we can.

We’ll keep this page updated as dispatch rolls on, so check back anytime for the latest progress.
