Welcome to Van Engelen Fall 2022!
We’ve opened our web doors to reserve flower bulb orders for delivery Fall 2022! Think about our website as a pre-opening party: we continue to add hundreds of photos from our spring gardens here, as well as from a company jaunt through the bulb fields and the Keukenhof in the Netherlands. (It was lengthened by a bout of Covid and two-week quarantine, but that is a whole other story.) So much more to come!
Our 2022 catalogs are printing and binding now after a worrisome nail-biter when we learned that paper production was delayed for three weeks (a problem exascerbated by a strike in Finland?). Eecck. But all is well that ends well: your new catalogs will be winging their way to you for receipt in mid-June.
Fall 2022 Flower Bulb Collection
We’ve added so many new varieties: you can see them all by clicking “New for 2022!” Some of our newbies are Allium schubertii Arctic Snow, Camassia leichtlinii Aurora, Hyacinthoides hispanica Bakkum Blue, Narcissi Young Devotion and Zinzi; Tulips Beautytrend and Janis Joplin: The Creamsicle Planet Lily Blend and Amaryllis Grandise Fantasy. We’ve absorbed the lion’s share of price increases from packaging, freight, shipping, and the increased cost of the bulbs.
Please place your orders soon due to the worldwide demand for and shortage of Dutch flower bulbs. We don’t charge credit cards until fall shipment, so you can tweak your orders, confident that you’ve reserved your bulbs in advance. We ordered early too: the Netherlands essentially sold out of flower bulbs over the winter.
We are Here for You!
We are here to help you Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Extended customer service hours will start after Memorial Day.
