Buying bulbs

Has anyone bought bulbs from a reputable dealer online? 

I just decided to replant the gardens that are going a little crazy at the house we just bought.  I cut everything down but I haven't dug any of it out yet. 

When should I plant my new bulbs and where should I buy them?

 

TIA

  • I've gotten them from Jackson & Perkins

    I like to plant them in the fall to let them overwinter so they're ready to go for spring.

  • I'm not going to recommend my online dealer until I have a customer service issue resolved, but you can plant the bulbs any time before the ground freezes up.
  • I just planted bulbs for the first time last weekend - got them all at Lowe's. So I'm not familiar with online companies, but Lowe's had a nice selection.
  • Breck's has a good selection. BUT, I ordered my bulbs in September and didn't get them until yesterday. We've already had snow but luckily the ground isn't too hard yet. I wish they would've sent them sooner so I could've had them in before the snow. Oh, well.
