Welcome to Van Engelen Fall 2022!
We are happy to accept orders for your clients now! We encourage you to reserve your clients’ favorite varieties as soon as possible, particularly if they have fallen in love with any of our introductions. Yet again, the Netherlands has essentially “sold out” of flower bulbs due to the heightened passion for gardening worldwide. Fortunately, we are well-stocked for the season since we ordered well in advance. We don’t charge credit cards until we prepare orders for fall shipment, so there is no cost associated with ordering early. You can always add to or change your order prior to shipment.
We continue to add hundreds of new photographs and content to our web site, as well as ever-changing 20%-off specials to our web site. So check back every now and again for new inspiration, companion planting ideas and horticultural information.
Websites Are a Work in Progress
As our two million John Scheepers and Van Engelen catalogs are received around the country, there are moments when our websites may huff and puff and time themselves out. We are working hard to energize them and correct this glitch which is usually in the credit card payment section. If this does happen, please take a screen shot of your wheelbarrow, or print your order out since orders time out after one hour. We certainly don’t want you to lose your order details. You may also email your order to us at customerservice@vanengelen.com or phone your order in to 860.567.8734. We are speedy and are here to help you.
Our Fall 2022 Flower Bulb Collection
We’ve added many new introductions: you can see them all by clicking “New for 2022!” Some of our newbies are Allium schubertii Arctic Snow, Camassia leichtlinii Aurora, Narcissi Young Devotion and Zinzi; Tulips Beautytrend, Bombastic Red, Floresta and Janis Joplin: The Creamsicle Planet Lily Blend and The Dramatic Event Lily Blend. Sorry, we’ve already sold out of Tulips Amazing Grace and Double Shake; Hyacinthoides hispanica Bakkum Blue; and Lily martagon Fairy Morning. We’ll do our best to secure more of the annual harvest this summer.
We’ve also added numerous new varieties of Dutch Amaryllis including Double King, Matterhorn, Rosy Star and Silver Dream. We’ve already sold out of Amaryllis Doublet, Grandise Fantasy and Wild Amazone but will do our best to secure more of them too.
Sorry to say, but there have been price increases here and there. We did our best to absorb the lion’s share of cost increases from packaging, freight and shipping as well as the increased cost of the bulbs themselves. Some varieties continue to be in short supply like Allium Globemaster and Large Flowering Dutch Crocus. At this time, it also appears that ordering more Narcissus inventory is highly unlikely.
