Love their bulbs and the combinations of colors. And their customer service is wonderful. I called to add something to an order. A real person answered the phone and was able to take care of my order without putting me on hold or transferring me. Such a rarity these days! If only the order included someone who could plant all the bulbs I ordered! :)

Colorblends has bulbs for beautiful tulips and daffodils. They are reasonably priced and the best way to buy is the 100 bulb quantity (average price around $35.00). I have bought my tulip bulbs from Colorblends for several years and frequently recommend them to those who love beautiful tulips.

Ordered 1,500+ bulbs last fall and seeing them all come up now. Those grape hyacinths are strong! As are the Narcissus 'Sir Winston Churchill' and the Aveyron tulips. Very high quality bulbs, great blooming, strong plants. Just gorgeous. Very happy with Colorblends.

I received a colorblends catalog late summer of 2017 and was very impressed with the catalog and all the tips and info on planting. I decided to take a leap of faith and ordered over 300 bulbs. I have to say everything really popped this week due to all the rain and sudden warm temperatures here in New England. I wish I could add a picture to my review.... my garden beds look spectacular!
