I received three roses as ordered. The plants were younger than the bare root bushes I had ordered elsewhere and previously. I was dissatisfied with where I had been ordering roses because the roses seemed to struggle and finally die, so I wanted to try a different source. When I planted the new roses I was surprised that they actual had a a small ball of soil still on the roses. The roses took hold readily and sprouted new grow in a matter of weeks. All of them are healthy now and even blossomed this first year. I am very satisfied with the quality of roses from Van Bourgondien .

I know they were discount prices, and it is the end of the season, but half of the pack of 15 dahlias were mush. May not be salvageable.

One of my items became out of stock but I didn't receive an email regarding that instead I got an email saying I'm getting a refund. I wouldn't have ordered just one item to have to pay for the shipping.

Gladhappy grower!

Bulbs in great shape. Even had a few extras. Will wait to see the quality once they grow and flower out.

None of the bulbs I bought have produced any growth at this time.

Multiple bare roots of the same plant were inconsistent. Dahlia tubers were extremely dried out. (And yes I know they just came out of hibernation) Many failed to grow. Probably could have gotten same product cheaper somewhere else but cheaper. I have always respected the Van Bourgondien name from my experience working as a production supervisor in a major greenhouse growing facility. The quality just isn't the same.

Iris roots arrived much later than estimated at time of order. they were desiccated. i planted all 6, and after 4 weeks, one plant has a single stem emerging. Very disappointed.

Second bad experience with KVB this year. They offered me a $20 credit to keep me as a customer. I ordered two items that they advertised as in stock and on sale. I ordered them on May 26th, one item showed up on June 12th. >>> Your item was delivered to a parcel locker at 9:50 am on June 12, 2026 >>> No update as to why it was late, or that a partial shipment was made. In addition the rhizomes are dried out and withered. NO quality control on their end. I'm in the process of getting a total refund.

Buying online was easy. I’d course there were some items that are sold out. Hope they will notify me when items become available.

They have a large selection and priced reasonably. The only thing they could do to improve is to give free shipping.

Product packaging was great. Product delayed multiple times and left on road. Not delivered to my house! Bulbs were therefore dry but probably still viable.

The white prosperity gladiolas were moldy and some felt squishy / rotted but I planted them anyway hoping for the best. The other 2 varieties I planted looked totally good. I bought the bulbs at 50% off but I still expected to receive bulbs as if I’d spent 100%.

On my phone it said I would get a 20% discount for my order and free shipping for order over $129.00 but neither applied when I checked out. Can someone look into this for me?

This was a late season purchase, so delivery timeliness was important. Seemed to take a very long time for the nursery to even get the product to FedEx, which was followed by another long delay until I received the order. (Your review request arrived before my order.) Compared to other mail order options today, this was VERY SLOW. Not good for live product.

I am very satisfied with the bulbs I bought on sale, especially the giant orienpet lilies! This retailer is my favorite place to buy bulbs--generally high quality and good to very good prices.

I have been looking for this specific plant for at least 2 years. I have never been able to find it. I was told by numerous nurseries that it is rare. I have had one in my garden for quite some time and it has always been my favorite

The crocosmia bulbs I received is good size for its price. K. Van Bourgondien has more variety than other places that I check. If I need more in the future I would definitely order from K. Van Bourgondien again. I hope every bulbs will sprout. Since it's so late for me planting, I don't think I will see any blooms this year but looking forward to see lots of blooms next year. The packaging is very good, individually package with name labels. I an exited and can't wait to see some blooms.

Best plants by far

My Lily bulb had blue mold on them. I planted them the day after I received them I've never had this problem before and I've purchased items from you for years I was shocked by the quality of the bulbs

I was beyond impressed with the gladiolus bulbs I received. The bulbs were big, clean, and blemish free. They came in immaculate condition. I'd ordered bulbs from other companies and they were smaller and full of imperfections but not these. I felt like I received the BEST QUALITY BULBS available on the market. It made me feel like I was an important person and that the organization cared about my needs. Thank you for being a beautiful professional company. I can hardly wait to purchase more products from you all.

Good quality bulbs and plugs

The quality of bulbs and bare roots was very good. Packing is great + the instructions provided. Almost 90-95% of everything I planted has bloomed and some on the way. I would absolutely recommend K.van!! I would not say anything bad about the whole process, except the shipping cost feels kind of steep sometimes if its a small order. Also, if you could could combine certain plants ( example- Hibiscus- I dont have room for 3 plants but I could buy one but that option is not there). Overall, I would not stop myself from buying from K.van again. Your products are definitely worth the money.

Excellent company. I can count on them sending exactly what I am hoping for. I ordered a beautiful iris early so that they wouldn’t sell out. They will send it to me exactly when I need it in the fall.

To me, I consider your rate of delivery needs improvement. Once I place an order, it should be in transit within 2-3 days. I ordered 25 dahlias. Several of them were very small and five didn't have a starter bud. I'm not sure that they will produce a plant.
