Our Process & Sourcing

What happens between the grower and your garden.

1. Dutch-bred varieties, bought by size

We buy named, Dutch-bred varieties from established flower bulb suppliers, by size grade. Bulbs are graded by circumference in centimeters: our tulips are 11/12 cm, daffodils 12/14 cm, hyacinths 14/15 cm, allium 12+ cm, paperwhites 15/16 cm, large-flowering crocus 8/9 cm and grape hyacinth 9/10 cm. Every product page states the size of the bulbs in that bag.

2. One order for the season

Our fall 2026 bulbs were purchased on July 31, 2026, as one order for the planting season.

3. Inspected twice, counted by hand

Bulbs are sorted and checked by hand, counted into each bag, and checked again before the bag is closed. Soft or damaged bulbs are set aside.

4. Packed in our Florida warehouse

Bags are packed in our warehouse in Florida, in breathable kraft paper with no sealed plastic, and kept dry until they ship.

5. A Lot number on every bag

Every packing batch gets a Lot number, printed on the label of each bag. If you ever write to us about a bag, the Lot number lets us trace it to its batch.

6. Where the bags go

From our warehouse, bags ship to Amazon fulfillment centers for Amazon orders and directly to you for orders placed on tendedbloom.com.

7. Registered

Tended Bloom LLC is registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry, as a nursery stock dealer (certificate No. 484045847).
