  Our Quality Guarantee
red tulips

We guarantee to ship you top quality bulbs that are true to name and are healthy, firm and viable for planting. You will receive your flower bulbs at the proper time for fall planting in your area. Some flower bulb varieties (Amaryllis, Eremurus and Lilies) are harvested later than others, so orders are occasionally split-shipped. Please notify us immediately (within ten days of delivery) should there by any problem with your shipment. We cannot be held responsible for losses due to: extreme weather conditions, improper storage conditions, delayed planting, improper site conditions, improper climate plantings, forcing, pre-chilling, planting in raised beds or for any costs other than the actual cost of the bulbs. In the event that a particular variety is not available for horticultural reasons, we will inform you and suggest alternate varieties for your consideration at the earliest possible time. We do not make automatic substitutions.

Check Your Order When You Receive It!
Please open your order immediately upon receipt and notify our Customer Service Department should there be a problem. Check your order carefully to make sure that you have received all items specified on the packing slip. Please inform us of any mishipped items within one week so that we may correct your order.


  • >We ship via UPS Ground only. No orders are shipped outside the contiguous, continental U.S.
  • Orders are shipped from late September through late November according to horticultural zone, prevailing temperatures and availability from harvest. If you wish to specify the week of shipment, please let us know. Otherwise, we will ship your order in time for planting at the proper time in your area. We cannot guarantee shipment for a particular day.

      Terms of Sale
  • Customer concerns regarding shipments should reach us within ten days of receipt of order.
  • When you receive your order, open the exterior and interior cartons immediately. Inspect your shipment against your packing slip. Often, smaller bags are inserted inside the inner boxes of other varieties for protection during shipment. Inform us immediately (within 10 days) of any shipment errors.
  • Inspect your bulbs carefully. Some bulbs may develop a natural blue-green mold when harvested and exposed to air. This "transportation" mold disappears once the bulbs are planted and is not harmful. Other varieties may develop surface moisture that is wicked back into the soil once planted. Small cuts or scars may be visible from machine harvest and do not affect performance. The bulb's outer skin may not be fully intact or attached. This does not affect performance.
  • Prior to planting, store flower bulbs with good air circulation, low humidity and away from heat, frost and strong sunlight at a temperature of 50oF to 70oF. All outdoors bulbs must be planted before the winter to bloom reliably the following spring.
  • Flower bulbs are perishable products. Returns are not accepted unless authorized in advance by John Scheepers within three days of receipt of order. There is a 20% restocking fee for returned orders and for orders canceled after shipment. Shipping and handling charges are not refundable.
  • Flower bulbs should be planted in neutral pH soil with appropriate sunlight and good water drainage after ground temperature has chilled to about 55oF, normally after a killing frost. Flower bulbs should be selected according to horticultural zone compatibility. In horticultural zones 8 through 10, flower bulbs should be chilled at 38oF to 45oF for ten to 12 weeks prior to planting.
  • In the spring, new plantings may bloom up to two weeks later than mature, established plantings. Flower bulbs grow and bloom in response to soil and air temperature regardless of the calendar date. Listed bloom times are for horticultural zone 5 in "normal" spring conditions. During a heat spike, flowers may bloom short and small if the bud is set, but will continue growing while in bloom.
